In 2009, @The_IronSheik was set up. Now: not a single tweet is written by him there. Not one. The content is provided by two “comedians”, The Magen Boys. Their job is to make bank for themselves by pushing a drug-addled man clearly still visibly struggling to come to terms with the death of his daughter. They write tweets adopting the language of a grieving man with a crippling addiction, and use it to pass humorous comment on the news and sports stories of the day.
So there you go. That account you thought was funny? The account you like? It’s full-scale manipulation and abuse of a man who clearly needs help, perpetuated by two schmucks who will just dip and bounce with their 20% as soon as Vaziri’s heart gives up on him. And they say there’s no money to be made in social media…
