Seems they got busted lying about Tom's age and people are freaking out about it:

Someone even updated the guy's Wiki already.
I don't see what all the hubub is about, I thought it was pretty obvious it was BS from the begining. I know that Tom's a real person, &he is / was an employee who worked on myspace, but he never ran the show. Myspace was started by a company that already owned and operated other websites. The whole Tom persona is just a way to give it more of a grass roots backstory for PR that everyone loves.
I do think it's ironic that the "flagship" profile of this site is an adult male lying about his age to be younger who is automatically friended by the site to every minor that joins. Maybe he'll turn up on "To Catch a Predator"
