August is the one with the blogspot who reported back in 2015 an exclusive trailer was being shown at a film event etc. He was also one of the first people to see and the godzilla 2016 design and confirmed it was real when it leaked. Godzilla-movies.com also reported using him as a source as well on their website. Anyway here is his tweet
And here is a message from him:
"Here you go: "Yes, Virginia, the photos are real — that's why I posted my story. With that being said, I never wrote there were multiple forms, not even three. Someone, somewhere, must've taken my statement that there were three operators needed to bring this new Godzilla to life. And it grew from there.
It seems suspicious that someone would quote my article (a day after I published it) and then post a follow-up claiming that they spoke to someone at Toho who confirmed the alleged 'three-forms'. I don't think that Toho would release that information — a huge revelation — to anyone in the US before it was issued on their official outlets (websites) or to the Japanese press, first.
Unless, it was someone in Japan with loose lips. Perhaps the same person who leaked the images? In my experience, it just seems extremely fishy of B.M.D. to have access to that information, let alone be allowed to disseminate said spoilers.
In the future, I can be contacted through my blog or on FB and Twitter. I will also be appearing as a guest at G-Fest in Chicago, Tiki Oasis in San Diego, and Con-Volution in San Francisco this summer."
