I get that this is all just fund discussion board fodder, but the whole idea is absurd. Ain't happening.
As for that account having reported things accurately before, that's an old social media trick. You pass along every baseless rumor you hear, most of them are nothing, but then you trumpet the small handful you happen to hit on. And you can supposedly beat national reporters to the punch because you don't lose anything if you get it wrong, you have no real skin in the game. (regurgitate everything while real reporters are busy triangulating and fact checking). This is what Florio used to do, I believe, and how he became a national sports media figure.
