As Twitchy reported earlier, fake accounts for Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev have been popping up on Twitter today.
CNN is reporting that the @J_tsar Twitter account belongs to Tsarnaev. One of Tsarnaev’s high school classmates told BuzzFeed that it is the suspect’s Twitter account.

He calls himself “Dzhokhar” in one tweet:

The Twitterverse is busy digging into the tweets.
I just called the phone # on Tsarnaev's Twitter account: "The person you are trying to reach is not accepting calls at this time."

Looks like @j_tsar is legit. Found him conversing with a guy last year who now's tweeting that he knows the bomber. Also Dartmouth refs.

Update:
Via BroBible, the person in the photo that accompanies this tweet appears to be wearing Cambridge shorts.

In another tweet, he mentions Cambridge.
Cambridge got some real, genuinely good people but at the same time this city can be fake as fuck just like any other town #upholdthereal
