Even though the fake Costas Twitter account didn't have a blue checkmark (https://twitter.com/richarddeitsch/status/1336677028003721221), many believed it was real last night (https://twitter.com/DarrenMHaynes/status/1336570319553826817). It took Costas' son Keith Costas to make it clear the account was fake. Costas had previously said he'd never join Twitter, calling it a high-tech version of a bathroom wall in a gas station. Twitter has since suspended the fake account.
