Twitter Account a Fake: Prankster frames YouTube user

Yesterday, Bulbanews reported on a Twitter account that had been registered at the beginning of the month, apparently belonging to The Pokémon Company International. It has been brought to our attention that this account is a fake.

This thread is about how the Youtube user was apparently framed.
 
As I said in the other thread...

And beyond that, his video defense doesn't hold at all, since he had posted on the Twitter that he was making such a video before he actually put it up (which, if it was just a hacker or whatever he's trying to paint it as, would have had no way of knowing that he was doing so/had actually recorded that and certainly wouldn't have deleted the comment after he put the video up)... He deleted the comment after he put out his video, but it was screencapped:

It was pretty conclusively him behind it, so the reference to it being a prankster should be removed from the article (or at the very least, change it to something akin to having been "possibly framed", and don't treat it as a fact that he was, as the video is by no means a solid, conclusive defense as the article current treats it), as it makes no logical sense for a prankster to both know that he was making a video before the fact (how would he know?) and delete the Twitter comment about him planning to make the video after that (why in the world we have done that? Leaving it makes it look more like the YouTube guy, and without it it seems more like a prank). The YouTube guy himself? Yes, to have some fun trolling and not to take the heat for it? Some prankster though? Doesn't add up in the least.

Video means nothing itself as a result, and could easily be accomplished by simply having a friend aid him or by piecing videos togehter/removing the section of him having typed in the tweet.

EDIT: And what was he doing recording himself looking at that Twitter anyway? Looking at his other videos, doesn't exactly seem his style. And what would him simply recording the Twitter, saying "it's not me" have proved by itself? It would have been a waste of time/effort simply having a camera staring at the screen for a few hours, so and he might as well have made a video in his more normal style, saying the the same. The only reason it would have even made sense to bother doing an actual recording, so that he wouldn't have simply been wasting his time, would have been if he could have been insured that a Tweet would happen while he was recording... which could only be done if he himself was behind it. The pieces of the puzzle really don't fit together any other way.

We all need to stop jumping to conclusions, guys. There is no conclusive evidence he did or did not do it. NONE. Just because the now-gone twitter mentioned making a video does not automatically link it to him because of the video. It could have been a lucky guess, or quite possibly an annoyed friend who heard from the guy that he would make a video.

The fact is, we jumped to the conclusion it was real, and now that we know it's fake we're jumping to conclusions again at who to point the finger at. While it really shouldn't matter who did it, we shouldn't be jumping to conclusions, seeing where that got us in the first place. :/

Also @insomniac: however, the RTs/@replys are to fake people.

edit: New post with different YT link. But there's, like, nothing on it. :p
 
Why the hell would he do something like this? What would he gain? Nothing. Nothing. And why would he say he was going to make a video denying it. WHAT WOULD BE THE POINT?

I follow GCPM11 and I believe him innocent.

He's a troll who wasn't expecting to get caught at all and simply be believed to be TPC, but nonetheless had a plan just in case that would enable him to get away with this, and let him laugh both while people actually fall for it, and while people such as myself futily try to pin the facts down on him, which he ended up needing to enact when WPM called out the Twitter account, and so did. In brief, to laugh at people's gulibility, even when he makes the facts so clear for them, which is basically all the reason a troll needs, especially an arrogant one with a huge ego like him.

On top of that, he's apparently done stuff of this sort before, such as stealing WPM's stuff and claiming it as his own only to be caught, so I can't exactly take his side without a skeptical eye here. Beyond that, the facts of the case only make sense at all if it was him, as this "pranker's" actions would be totally illogical, as they had him right where they wanted him with no reason at all to let him go (after all, letting people go doesn't get laughs; seeing them futily struggle, struggle, and struggle some more does), but nonetheless this person conveniently start letting him go as soon as the video's released? Doesn't add up. Works as an escape plan for him since it's easy to do and as seen here people will believe it, but doesn't make sense for a prankster actually trying to get laughs on his part, but letting him go before even having one.

Things really only add up if this Youtube guy was trying to see how gulible people are through this stunt, so unless something comes up, I can't really take his side of the story here.

Though I don't particularly like GCPM11 just as much as the next person, I have to say, he didn't do it. Though you can argue infinite ways against him, Ryuutakesh! is right, it just isn't something he would do. He didn't try to pass WPM's video off as his own, GCPM11's biggest problem (ever since the start) has been that he doesn't say who his sources are, which is the same thing that happened there. He took the video and just posted it to get praise for "I went out on the internet and found information for you all, subscribe and love me" which isn't really the same as passing it off as his own... In my opinion, the guy just created the account to mess with people, and then when WPM blew him out of the water, he decided to go out in a bang by blaming it on someone... you have to admit though, with GCPM11's crave for subscribers, he was the easy target.

I mean come on... he lied from the get-go that that was the "official Pokemon Company Twitter" to which was obviously a lie, and now that he says "I'm GCPM11, subscribe to me!," do you REALLY think he's any more trustworthy?
 
I been reading some of you guys respone's some are pretty good arguements and i thought i was the only person that noticed he never gives his sources out to anybody even through many people asked him about it including me.
 
Guys, he posted that video about the twitter back when we all believed it to be true. He does that. He finds anything that might be news and makes a video about it. Some of you have been linking to his videos all summer.
 
I lol'ed real hard when people actually belived his HG/SS hoenn map that he made and tried to pass it as a offical one.

Twitter needs to work on there rules or guidelines on about this whole thing so it won't happen again.

I'm sorry, but all I'm really seeing here are appeals to emotions and personal ancedotes--you like him and trust him and therefore he must not be behind this and what he says must be true. However, none of that changes the facts at all about how his story doesn't add up, as I've pointed out. If this was really just someone out for laughs at his behalf, they wouldn't have simply untangle the noose around his neck when they had him caught in it. No, he or she would have pulled it as tightly as they could have if that were they case. They didn't though, and instead just dropped the rope entirely, which makes no sense.

Not only that, but they somehow knew about him making a video before he did so, and deleted the comment about them knowing afterwards. If they had left the comment, the guy would have been left with a noose around his neck, exactly where they wanted him. But they deleted it, letting him free. Why would some prankster trying to ruin him or whatever do that? They wouldn't; they'd keep it going as long as they could, at least not giving up before getting a good number of laughs at his expense, and even at that point, they'd just leave it alone; no way would they just drop the ball, not having had time for any laughs, and reveal who they were right after.

Giving the facts an actual lookover, the only thing that makes sense to me is that GCPM11 made a Twitter account pretending to be TPCI, WPM figured out it wasn't actually them running the Twitter account, and GCPM11 then enacted his escape plan, using the "they'd never expect the criminal to be the victim!" defense to get some laughs as people swallow it up and strike his ego at being so smart as to come up with such a plan. All other chains of events seem to break down at some point or another.

Edit: He didn't make the map, no. He did make a video where he tried to give the map actual credibility though, and from what I can recall no one other than him had seen or cared about the map really until that video, which makes one wonder where he actually found it and whether he knew it was fake or not when he made the video with it, but that's an entirely different can of worms which is all in the past.
 
His problem is that he doesn't check the crap he posts... (and he is doing himself a GREAT disservice by in addition not always taking it down when it is found out to be fake)... as was said earlier, he isn't the kind of person to purposefully make up stuff, his problem is that he is about as gullible as half of the people who spammed theedgerly's youtube account with swears and threats not too long ago :/ ... He looks for information, it gets fed to him by a random user and he posts it basically saying "Look what I found!"... he might have learned from his mistakes, but back when the HG/SS information was coming out that was his problem... Unfortunately for him he was just a really easy target because of all the minor screw-ups hes done >_<
 
...

Dude, what have you got against GCPM11? He didn't do this. He was filming a video saying he didn't do it while another party updated the twitter. And if GCPM11 had actually done it himself, he would have pointed it out. He didn't notice. At all.

You're making up odd conspiracy reasons for him being the culprit when no evidence exists to say he is. The real people have even come out and said it was them. Yes, I know not many people like GCPM11. I'm not one of them. I'm going to side with him. There is no proof that he did this. On the internet, as this has proven, you can pretend to be anyone, but that doesn't mean you are.

And another thing. WHY WOULD HE EXPECT TO GET SUBSCRIBERS WHILE INSULTING AND ANGERING EVERYONE WHO READ IT? HE SAYS SOMETHING INSULTING, LAUGHS, THEN LINKS TO HIS ACCOUNT? MAKES NO SENSE. NO, HE WAS SET UP!

Not at all lol.. You completely misunderstood me. I trust him 0%... Though I don't trust anything he says, I've seen enough of him to feel I at least have an idea as to what he does... and unlike he suggests, how do you know that he was their main target? GCPM11 has a problem where he likes to think he is the center of things, so of course he says "they did all this to set me up"... as Ryuutakesh! said earlier, what would saying "subscribe to me!" and then later denying it do for him? How does that give him more subscribers? How about not linking to anywhere at all and saying "haha you guys are dumb" and leaving it at that? Let's face it, a LOT of people hate GCPM11 for his false reports and want to see him torn to the ground lol... if they were just having fun and screwing with people and watching what people would do, then they just did the first thing that came to their mind; blaim GCPM11! ... then not too long ago they blaimed ANOTHER person... and guess what happened there? The SAME THING for another person... There is no reason to believe this person at ALL...
