I'd say that's unexpected, but nothing really is in this saga anymore. Yay public fuck ups! I can now put my popcorn down.

Wait so the story that he was hired by Microsoft wasn't real?!?!

Btw, I can now go to office and be absolutely confident because there's no way I can fuck up worse than these guys. Maybe if I delete the database of IRS, but my company is not involved in government's business at all....

The hiring was real. I think every step was real, but infused with separate fuck ups and miscommunication. This was a truly great story. PR students should write this down so they know what to not do.
