Here he talks about sitting for the California Bar Examination in Summer 2013: An Important Decision Resolved - Live and Let's Fly


Here is where you can search for attorney's who are members of the California Bar: Attorney Search : The State Bar of California


I'd love to be proven wrong on this but I have searched every jurisdiction and he has no record of passing the bar in any state.
Alas the 2013 bar pass list isn't up anymore, and his law school had less than 10 sit for the California bar that year so it's pass rate was not reported. On the Pennsylvania bar (a relatively easy one), His school's pass rate was a full 5% below the state average.

It's actually been a major issue in the legal community that many law schools, particularly from 2010-13, were accepting people who had little chance of passing the bar and thus practicing as lawyers. If any of those people spent law school traveling and blogging about it, it's not super surprising they didn't pass the bar.
If there was a question about the clean hands doctrine or mutual mistake that year, he clearly didn't do well.
