This vandal persistently spams Misplaced Pages articles on digital wallet products with text along the lines of "Electronic Wallet, Digital Wallet, Mobile Wallet, intellectual property of Gaston Schwabacher, the number of patent PI 9500345." They've also occasionally made edit requests for such text and spammed pages on Commons. Recent examples, from 24 April 2014, include edits to Lemon Wallet, Osaifu-Keitai, and digital wallet.

This comment on a GigaOM article about Google Wallet, probably from this vandal, seems to explain the obsession:

Is so much talk About Google Wallet, but nobody mentions Gaston Schwabacher that will go down in history as the inventor of the Electronic Wallet, owner of the Intellectual Rights of Patent PI 9500345 in 1995 even before Google’s own existence.

Gaston Schwabacher will be among the great creators, inventors such as: Bell, Da Vinci, Daimler, Edison, Volta, Watt, Santos Dumont … and many others.

A Google+ account under the name "Gaston Schwabacher" seems to be operated by the vandal. On 23 November 2013, it posted:

Schwabacher Gaston is the owner of intellectual property rights known to Electronic Wallet (Google Wallet). Number of patent PI 9500345. Gaston Schwabacher this not getting royalties. Question to the owners of Google, Sergey Mihailovich Brin and Lawrence Edward Page. When Gaston Schwabacher will start receiving royalties? ("Do not Be Evil" and "You can make money without doing evil." Principles of Google) Gaston Schwabacher's getting old and has the right to make use of his idea, his creation
