i bet a sixers employee he was following on twitter just looked at the account(s) and figured out it was him

man that mustve been so fun for them lol
it pretty funny that he replicated his feed across all the accounts so he cld read important tweets he needed while also doing his sock puppet business
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 30 May 2018 21:58 (five years ago) link
Yeah. Exactly. He uses his phone number or e-mail address to create the account and they appear on someone who has his personal phone number or e-mail’s “recommended follows”.
I imagine the number of people interested in burning Colangelo or the 76ers broadly is lengthy.
I once read a post on Hacker News that described working for the (Hinkie-era) 76ers. They said it was as dysfunctional as the worst Valley startup but with shittier weather. 😂
