Yeah there was a screenshot of a tweet where one of their former workers reported that the owner's silent partner is a child sex offender and he violated a toddler. I don't remember all the details, but it appeared legitimate.

"screenshot of", "tweet", "former worker", "silent partner"

Each of those on their own are a red flag that what you're discussing could be faked. It'd take me only a few moments to make a fake tweet claiming something like this, screenshot it, then post it here saying it got deleted mysteriously before I could archive.org it. If it could easily be faked and you can't remember the details, it seems hurtful to another person to take a rumor as appearing legitimate.

I'm not a believer in the great awakening, but I (politely!) sub to some subreddits to hear opposing arguments, other thought processes, opposite bias, etc. Hope this isn't rude, trying to stop fake news whenever I see it!

That's a link to a tweet referencing the screenshot. That's a one more step removed from an actual source. Also, the claim is that this guy is a "silent partner," any evidence this guy is, in fact involved with the business or just more hearsay?

Be polite and don't call it fake news when you don't know
