NOTE: I don't have enough to make an accusation, and enumerating the various data-points is not something I'll do here, but it is my belief.

Would he do anything bad with the information? I doubt it. Then again perhaps he's double-checking to run down the location of the pizza place where you had lunch with your child daughter, like he did with Jimbo Wales.
Zoloft recommended that PB WR make sure to guard member privacy strictly. I was under the impression that he wouldn't give anyone access, but I've been worried that Kohs (or other staff/former staff) might get access to it. Sounds like you've observed some things that indicate at least Kohs may have been able to access that stuff. I would not be surprised.

I get the impression a lot of people feel this way about Greg to be honest and I am quite curious to see who the new admin actually is that trusted them enough to give their personal information.

I noticed recently that WormThatTurned resigned as an admin on EnWP and they have been forthcoming with their personal information already. As a former arb and someone who has been known to participate on Wikipediocracy in the past maybe it's him.

Wormthatturned ("David Craven") leaves a trail of slime wherever he went on Wikipedia, he's more a slug than a worm really. And he never did turn. I remember when he was on Arbcom and he actually stepped down from the panel in order to be some sort of prosecutor against Kiefer Wolfowitz, who had attempted to quietly call attention to a particular individual that, after Arbcom's complete exoneration, was sanfranbanned by the WMF for protection of children reasons. Worm infamously said of the bannee: "he hasn't done anything I haven't done."

It's meaningless when an administrator resigns, because he or she can show back up at any moment and get his or her administrative powers back in a day, without any reconfirmation or question.

Here's one of Worm's most recent contributions; he's on WP:AN/ANI voting some poor editor off the island: " I can envisage ways back for Mishae, but they involve a more forgiving encyclopedia than we have and someone willing to put in a lot of work with Mishae. Neither are likely, and so Mishae is simply not ap good fit and cannot stay." High-handed prick derives his supposed manhood (I've never said this on the Internet about a male, but Worm is less than a man) by banning people.

Here, Wormthatturned: Image.
I am "Modsquad" here, and participate, but I don't want you to think we can't have an angry argument.

If they admin him on WO both WO and WTT will get what they deserve.

WTT's Kiefer prosecution was vile even by ArbCom member standards.

I wonder why he felt he needed to "show retire" his tools.

Yeah he plays the nice guy but he is two faced. I have seen him try to play both sides on several occasions.
