The NBA has reportedly opened up an investigation into veteran referee Eric Lewis over a Twitter “burner” account seemingly set up solely to laud Lewis’ officiating.
At one point, a message from the account appeared, claiming that the account was started by the referee’s brother, Mark.
“Pablo, This is MARK Lewis. Right family . I’m sorry that I put E, in this situation, but this ain’t Watergate. You’re right, the account WILL be coming down. Twitter should not be this vindictive. Sorry to inconvenience you,” the message said.However, Bellingcat writer Aric Toler pointed out that the account seemed to be registered using the same AOL email address the referee used in other applications.
