The New York Post has deleted a story about a 22-year-old who, the paper credulously reported, took out a secret second mortgage on his parents’ home to trade GameStop stock. A Twitter user has claimed responsibility for the story and insists he duped the outlet.
The URL where the story once was now turns up a landing page that asks, “Did you get lost?”
Meanwhile, a Twitter user who goes by Jack West — and was identified the same way by the Post — has been tweeting screenshots to back up his account that a reporter for the Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid took a tweet claiming to take out a second mortgage without his parents’ knowledge too seriously and slid into his DMs to produce the story.
