Over the years, we‘ve written a few times about Shiva Ayyadurai, a guy who‘s basically staked his entire life on the misleading to false claim that he „invented“ email. Every couple of years he pops up again as he‘s able to fool some reporters into believing him. In 2012, he fooled the Washington Post and, astoundingly, the Smithsonian. In 2014, he was somehow able to get the Huffington Post to publish a multi-part series claiming he had „invented“ email — though after we called them out on it (and after they stood by it) — those stories were eventually deleted. Ayyadurai also threatened to sue us for calling out his false claims, but there‘s been no lawsuit yet.
