evading oversight or just a senile old man unable to deal with the taunting task of remembering a google password?
Just using pseudonyms for email correspondence, if it was done for anything other than legal personal stuff, violates multiple laws. The intent to hide things from oversight (as required by law) is implicit in these actions, and the willingness to breach security protocols (also required by law) is illegal regardless of intent (or the willingness of “reasonable prosecutors” to prosecute).
