I was on the 90% Te'o hoax train this morning but the more that comes out, the more it doesn't look that way...
Yeah, this.
The whole gay cover-up theory doesn't hold up in a vaccuum. There was no need for this elaborate story. Instead of having his gf die, why wouldn't he just claimed that they broke up or something?
If it started as a gay coverup, then at some point it turned into a "let's exploit this for attention and publicity" thing.
