Name stealing Rabbi mentioned in Times

Some identity thief calling himself DovBear was mentioned in the sports section of the New York Times today in an article about the boxer Yuri Foreman. In addition to being an undefeated professional light middleweight boxer and champion of the North American Boxing Federation, Foreman is an Orthodox Jew, studying to be a rabbi. This DovBear character is his rebbe muvhak.

Forman is studying at IYYUN, a place I know nothing about, but judging from the website, IYYUN appears to be one of those hippy-drippy New Age kabbalah centers where novices study Zohar, and do a lot of meditative humming. I could be wrong; if I am let me apologize in advance.
