I've never heard of this man.

This has been... educational?

He was an urban legend / boogieman for my pals and I at uni. The way the story gradually came out on socials and then the mainstream news was a captivating drip feed.

He used to go to my gym. Was surprisingly well spoken. The guy who owned the gym used to say 'You know the rules. Look but don't touch.'

Hope he is asking young men to do squats somewhere up in the sky rn.
