Quoted from the end of the article:
"It sure would be a shame if a bunch of people from 4chan reached out to Burton to offer “help,” only to feed him disinformation, false leads, fake stories, and ultimately setting him up for defamation lawsuits and egg on his face. After all, folks like Burton are so desperate for any nugget of information that could be politically weaponized, they could very well be likely to run fake stories if it means winning at any cost."
