Hooha

I read the following about whistleblower Edward Snowden:

"Several sources have alleged that Snowden, writing under the pseudonym "TheTrueHOOHA," was the author of hundreds of posts made on technology news provider Ars Technica's chat rooms."

What does TheTrueHOOHA mean? What is HOOHA, maybe an acronym for something?

Hoo-ha is in this dictionary: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/hoo-ha

Maybe he meant something like "The last laugh"
