i have no idea if this has been covered or is true:
Christopher Lebutzki @lebutzki
@TerryFoster971 So when he says he met her at the Stanford/ND game, apparently he was tweeting her on the bench and during timeouts

So Manti at no point talked to any of her family about her death... he at no point went to visit her gravesite... he at no point looked for an obituary or wanted to put up some sort of commemoration to her friends and family?
I like how the Te'o-as-victim spin includes him being "trusting" like that's a good thing. It seems to me that, if the ND story is true, he's actually "gullible" and "unable to think critically" and "doesn't understand what a relationship is".
I don't know if this has been mentioned, but Tim Burke (deadspin guy) is also @bubbaprog on twitter, the guy who screencaps like everything ever sports related. Pretty interesting guy.

I mean, not that I think it is true.
Perped a hoax and GullibleOAT are two pretty unsavory options.
I think the simple fact that Tuiasosopo was almost 100% behind the account, and Tuiasosopo and Te'o were very close friends IRL, is enough to make it much much more likely that they were working together on it rather than Te'o's close friend running some years long hoax on him.
