Assuming that he is, in fact, responsible.  If I wanted
to release a worm and blame someone else for it, the first thing
I'd do is pick out some basically clueless kiddie who's been
bragging about his skillz on IRC and set him up exactly like
this.  Next thing you know, the FBI and virtually everyone on
the planet is convinced he's guilty, and I get off scot free,
ready to release my next new and improved worm. Piece o' cake.
