I dunno, could just be someone having a laugh; doesn't seem crazy for a bunch of numbers to be auto-suggested to create a unique username and then they added 420 at the end for fun. It's relatively open gossip (and a bit of a leftist meme) that Nancy Pelosi has been insider trading for years.
That said, I guess it's easy to astroturf these days. Just seems strange to waste $8 USD to verify a single user if you're running a bot farm with tons of accounts. But maybe that's what it takes to drive traffic to your posts now.
