It's merely a response to him being blocked from editing for legal threats. He tried to make good on them and failed.[1]
According to the article on him he is "a former U.S. federal prison inmate"[2]. If the article is accurate, I feel a little bit bad for him... Also looks like he's written a book called "Extraterrestrials And Sex"[3]. I can only wonder why.

The petition states that the Foundation cannot be traced to a physical address. That can't be right, can it? And then he signs at the bottom which warns that - if he knowingly states a falsehood - he commits perjury; so if he *is* aware that the Foundation has an address he has perjured himself.
Googling "Wikimedia Foundation" gives you as top hit the site you would expect and as soon as you click "contact us" you are given the Foundation's address.
Indeed. The address of the old office was kept quiet for security reasons, but the address of the new office has always been publicly available. To give him the benefit of the tiniest bit of doubt, he might have written it while the WMF was in the old office and just taken a long time to submit it to the court and not thought to check it was still true. There has been a phone number available for years, though.
