Mongrel is paranoid lol

Don't worry dude, I wish somebody paid for my test. You belong to an interesting group, most likely V13* (Vasojevici cluster), hence why project admins and even matches are willing to pay for your test. I have paid other people's tests as well, nothing unusual once you're really involved.

Explain how his autosomal matches know his haplogroup when nobody has access to this info except for the ftdna staff.

His ydna info is only listed in his Geno report which is not accessible to his autosomal matches.

With Geno transfer the halpogroup show on family finder matches. He probably is listed as E-something indicating that he is possibly negativ for V13 downstream sub-branches, hence why his matches, or E-M35 admins, are interested on upgrading him.
