1999's Pulitzer prize winner, Chuck Philips resume will be featured on monster.com soon. No seriously, it will.
Philips writes for the entertainment section of the LA Times.
Philips' six months of investigating and writing a story linking Sean 'Diddy' Combs to the murder of Tupac Shakur has become nothing more than a debauchery.
The story first appeared online at latimes.com on March 17th stating that FBI documents and interviews with unnamed sources stated that associates of Diddy and Diddy himself, planned the attack on Shakur in November of 1994.
Diddy issued a statement stating that 'The story is a lie...It is beyond ridiculous and completely false... I am shocked that the Los Angeles Times would be so irresponsible as to publish such a baseless and completely untrue story." Then The Smoking Gun caught wind of what was happening and published a story on it.
Directly after The Smoking Gun's feature Philips and his supervisor Marc Duvoisin issued apologises for not further researching their story.
So what caused the big commotion? Falsified FBI records typed on a typewriter by a 31 year old inmate with a 9th grade writing ability.
Times editor Russ Stanton stated 'We published this story with the sincere belief that the documents were genuine, but our good intentions are beside the point.'
BULLSHIT! Did they even read the records or were they just looking for a good story because Britney looks like she's heading back to a place of sanity?
James Sabatino apparently typed up these so called FBI records and stated he was issued them because he is writing up a lawsuit against Diddy because of some unpaid work.
The Smoking Gun stated that their were numerous misspellings, unusual acronyms and redaction's that should have sent up large red flags that said 'This is False.' There was also numerous black marker cross outs among these records.
The Smoking Gun also stated that the FBI ceased to use typewriters over 30 years ago.
Oh and by the way Sabatino is in a federal prison for fraud. If Philips took the time to know his confident of FBI information he would have turned up that Sabatino is nothing more than a person in a state of delusion. Sabatino has been reported exaggerating his career in the gangster rap world. He has stated he managed many of todays most popular hip hop artists. His father even stated to a federal judge that '[Sabatino is] a disturbed young man who needed attention like a drug.'
A mastermind at conning people? Or did a talented journalists fail to fully investigate leads?
Philips I hope your checkbook is ready. I hear a lawsuit coming at you.

Where do you get your ideas for these stories? They're really interesting!!!
As for P. Diddy being linked to Tupac's murder, wouldn't something have come up much sooner if it were true?
I dunno they just appear. lol
You would think that something like that would have come up sooner, which just adds to the lack of validity of the report.
