See, I think you're all looking at this a tad wrong.
1. I'll bet there's some fanciness going on with his "Private Key," the consistent pattern of 1s and 0s implies to me wither that's not binary encoded or there's something else fishy going on.
2. The encrypted message is more than just a base64 string. I say this because if you take a moment and break it up, there appears to be a hex-encoded SHA256 hash inside it, look:
either
or
both of which contain a valid hexadecimal encoded SHA256 hash and a valid Base64 encoded string. I couldn't find any reverse of either hash in rainbow tables and neither of those b64s make a ton of sense, but I think this is progress.
EDIT: I'll make clear, the hex section does not *have* to be a hash, that was my initial impression, but both simply represent 256 bits of information encoded in hex.
Clarification: I also cannot explain the significance of the start and end sections, however the fact that both alternate between capital and lowercase suggest some special significance is placed there
