The story's out. Chuck Philips' Los Angeles Times bombshell tying Diddy and Biggie to Tupac's 1994 shooting relied on fake FBI reports, which lead back to a man currently incarcerated for felony fraud and identity theft. Despite the reports' numerous spelling errors (and the fact that they were written on a typewriter), Philips says he was "duped" by the forged documents. Ouch.
The reporter's situation has some of us making comparisons to The Wire, while others think the poor guy was Dan Rather'd.
What do you think? Was Philips just the unwitting target of a (possibly delusional) conman? Did he see signs of forgery and go ahead with the story anyway? And do you agree with Jimmy Rosemond that Philips should lose his job?
