Yates, definitely. Everybody bought into the cancer hoax at the outset, and everybody actually cared and sent 'emails' to his "cousin". It's too bad since Yates wasn't all that bad and his timeline was almost epic.

Phil pretending to be Jessica Walterstein

That can never be considered a major hoax. It broke down in a matter of days.

In retrospect, Yates' fraud was actually easy to spot, but nobody suspected it because he was a well-liked respected member.

Seriously, how many people who alledgedly have terminal brain cancer and about to die in a months time post on a political forum (this was Yates' second-to-last real post, lol)? He was also a 26-year old with one of the largest incomes in the whole US.

Don't worry. Your life won't change much if you read it or you don't.
