Did you read the epic — and now admittedly fake — story earlier this week from Shane Morris where he said he found a brick of heroin in the hood of a van he bought on the cheap for a road trip that was actually the property of an MS-13 gang member? It’s too long to post the entire thing, but here’s the starting point:
Y'all wanna hear a story about the time I accidentally transported a brick of heroin from Los Angeles to Seattle? I bet. Alright, let's do this… (a thread)

And the TL;DR finale:
… and that's the story of the time I bought a van with a brick of heroin in it that belonged to an MS-13 gang member, sold the brick, and then sold him his van back with a wrapped up John Grisham novel, for $10,000. Somehow, I didn't die.

Anyway, he’s now admitting he made the whole thing up:
I need to tell you all the truth. I lied. I made it all up. https://t.co/aD4J3jEppk

According to his admission, he thought this would be a good way to showcase his talents as a writer, but now he’s allegedly scared MS-13 is going to murder him for real and he’s set up a GoFundMe account to raise money so he can go into hiding:
I wanted my life to be a movie, and now it is, but in the most unintended way. If this story had been real, it would have ended with me going into hiding. Now, I'm being forced to live that reality. I'm sorry y'all. https://t.co/ka3PHNSsa4

We have no idea if he’s lying about being really afraid or not:
Good news for all you snarky people: If the GoFundMe fails, I get murdered, and this whole things becomes a documentary, rather than a drama.
In my own way, I'll become Twitter Jesus — where I die, so others may have a contest to see who can leave the funniest comment.

As of the writing of this post, he’s only raised $140:
So if he is really afraid, he may need to rethink is plan to go into hiding because this ain’t working.
