If you won't take the word of thirds, you better start reading those
sources :)

Also, it would be more helpful if you provided more info as to why he
thinks he was compromised or how/what was compromised. The exposure you
get for becoming part of tor network rather differs when you are web
browsing, running hidden service, running exit relay...

And the fact that he was p0wnd after joining Tor does not imply
causality... he certainly could have been compromised by means
completely unrelated to Tor.
