I'm going to assume you mean isIdentified() method of the User class since the 
word "verified" doesn't exist in the code base

Turns out that I made in the incorrect assumption that if your realname/login 
started with a tilde (~) that you were unidentified. I know I've seen that 
system somewhere before but apparently freenode and esper do not use that 
system.

I'm not sure exactly how to handle this other than rewriting it to query 
nickserv with "nickserv status username". However that's slow and not ideal.

I will continue to research other options

Sorry for the delay

I have decided to query the user with a Whois and use its 330 response 
(WhoisEvent.getRegisteredAs()) to determine if the user is logged in. Its 
expensive, but I've clarified this in the comments and will do in the 
changelog. Its more of a convenience method than anything else. Added in 
Revision 38a0b1e2b255
