Only things he gets remotely right seem to be out of sheer coincidence

It was unclear what motivated his action, but he threw leaflets espousing anti-government conspiracy theories into the air before the incident.

What anti-govt. conspiracy theories?

The kind the anti government wants you to believe that people believe exist, of course.

Well, his mantra starts with cryptocurrency being designed as an economic nuke in the form of a ponzi scheme and it kind of devolves from there. He sorta brushes with reality a couple times (e.g. that politics is captured by the rich) but it's more out of sheer coincidence than any real points made
