Comments needed for possible PGP bug/feature

Is this total BS or...what? Seems to be, but I cant be sure. Have you
ever heard anything like this before or...?

Basically one guy claims that he's buddy can decrypt (atleast small)
messages encrypted using PGP conventional encryption. He can even get
the passphrases. Or so it is claimed. I made and offer to give 500
euros if they can get my passphrase and 1000 euros if they can open the
PGP encrypted message. Maybe you would like to give it a try (and fail)? ;)
