Are we sure this news is even real? I have several friends at Twitter who said they didn't hear anything about that.
Leah Culver is also the one who bought the pinked painted lady for $3m. She has the fuck you money and doesn't really need any job.
This is not the first time for journalists to fall for pranks either. Just yesterday there were pranksters who pretend to be fired from twitter, and the journalists ate it up big time.
