as a longtime internet autist:
1. That urn and Wayne are total fakes, I have no idea how and of you retards are buying into anything they are saying. There is no lead here, only trolls. The urn is clearly made at one of those budget pottery shops, those letter stamps to form the text are cheap af.
This is not to mention there's no reason a coworker would have access to the urn. Even if we assume this entire chain of events to be legitimate, there is no level of autism that would you have someone post their dead, 'beloved' coworkers urn onto the forum that 'caused' this. This is some A+ trolling, I'll give them that, but there's nothing to be gained here information wise except knowledge that you, dear reader, aren't the only faggot on the internet.
2. Marcan is full of shit, but only partially. There is a 0% chance he interacted with Tokyo police, confirming Nears death. This is a definite lie, but I believe one they made to try and prove what they already to believe to be true. I truely believe Marcan thinks Near is dead and passed along the message of his note. After constant, nonstop harassment via twitter and DMs, Marcan tries to end the situation quickly by lying about his talks to police in hopes to shut up farmers.
This 'backfires' although lets be real, the only people pushing back against this are the same ones who pushed back against his original claims. In essence, the lie was not him covering up for Near but him covering his own ass and trying to curve the onslaught of faggotry that was sent his way. I believe that Macan believes Near is dead and lied to try and stop harassment rather than Marcan lying as a sinsiter way to help Near fake his death.
That being said,
3. Near is most likely alive. Weeks later, there is NO concrete proof he is dead. I have been around the internet long enough to know that there would be some shrapnel of evidence by now. The journalists are faggots who based their story off this OBVIOUSLY fake suicide story without a single shred of concrete evidence placed anywhere. As we thought from the beginning, this has been a long con to fake a death and kill the farms with it.
In short: Marcan is a liar, but only for his own ass and not for Near. Wayne is 100% fake troll, but a dedicated one I kinda respect. Near is, IMO, alive as we have 0 evidence proving otherwise. There has been no noteworthy or worthwhile updates, I'll make a new post if I dig up anything else.
Enjoy the popcorn faggots.
