Well, hopefully this isn't a troll. At this point nobody trusts anything until they see it for their own eyes. Looks like the troons are gonna be furious when they realize they gave up on estrogen for this week for nothing, and the pajeets happy they got some extra cash this week.I phoned the US Embassy in Minato, Tokyo, after you posted this.
Apparently they've been getting a lot of calls about David Ginder, and the level of concern was sufficiently high that they put in the effort of finding him. Anyway, turns out he's absolutely fine - they managed to track down his workplace and catch him there; he explained that he'd had a bit of a meltdown over the weekend but he's bounced back. They actually gave me his number, and I phoned him! We had a lovely chat and Dave explained that he's really embarrassed about everything and ashamed of what he put his internet friends through, so will probably stop posting on the internet for the foreseeable future - he said he saw it as a clean break and he's going to focus on going to therapy and making new friends in Japan. Dave even decided to use some of his savings to book himself into an exclusive ryokan (with a private onsen!) in Hokkaido - he's not taken a holiday in three years so his company's let him take a month off. Lovely bloke, it sounds like this was a real wake up call.
To respect Dave's privacy I will not be discussing this further. I will, however, put these details into an anonymous Googledoc and post it on twitter, so that various news outlets can publish a retraction.
But damn! Looks like another shitstorm is incoming, because the news outlets have been caught red handed spreading very likely fake news. Excpet that one Italian news outlet that was more neutral and showed both sides of the story, albeit with a bias against the farms.
