Update 6:07 PM: A reader of this blog spoke to someone in the US Attorney’s Office who said that the rumor is absolutely not true.
I’ve heard from two different sources this afternoon that King Willie has been indicted and taken into federal custody. People at my work (who don’t know either of my sources) heard the same thing. For some reason the media isn’t covering it yet. Might want to keep your eye on the TV or local news websites tonight.
If this turns out to be a hoax, the people spreading it did a very convincing job.
