I'm not saying he was rock solid sane before, but until this thread I didn't really notice any major indicators of skitzo other than fantasty land math.

Looking around it easily goes back to the earlier part of the decade.

Dick Smith food extortionist refused bail
ROCKHAMPTON, Queensland
March 8 2002
A man threatened to contaminate Dick Smith food products with rat poison as
part of a $100,000 extortion bid, a court was told today.
Graham Andrew Cooper, 31, of no fixed address, faced the Rockhampton
Magistrates Court charged with attempting to extort $100,000 from
Australian Skeptics Association and stalking its executive officer Barry
Williams.
The court was told that Cooper emailed threats to the Australian Skeptics
Association, of which businessman Dick Smith is patron, after they refused
to pay him for a challenge on their website in which people are tested for
psychic powers.
Cooper, who was not required to enter a plea, was refused bail.
Senior Constable Sean Janes objected to Cooper's application for bail
saying he was capable of carrying out threats to "contaminate food products
generally available to the public".
He had described Cooper as a
"self-confessed paranoid schizophrenic" when
Cooper, in a sarcastic tone, interrupted, saying: "Schizophrenic, and that
must mean he is serious about it."
Senior Constable Janes said Cooper, who was arrested at Emu Park near
Rockhampton yesterday, was facing "quite serious charges".
"The threat to the public is very real," Senior Constable Janes said.
"He began emailing Barry Williams threats and demands to be tested and
payment of the $100,000.
"A number of these threats included comments such as: `Dick Smith, you owe
me because you refuse to test me. Reply or pay the consequences. I am about
to put Ratsak in as much Dick Smith food as I can'."
Cooper's solicitor Paul Wonnocott said Cooper had been staying with a
relative at Emu Park but wanted to move to his sister's home in Townsville,
however an exact address was not available.
He said Cooper's mental health problems were not disputed.
Magistrate Tom Bradshaw refused bail and remanded Cooper to appear on
May 13.
