SubDeliveryMan Tried To Pull An April Fools Prank But We Saw It Coming

On March 31, SubDeliveryMan account was shut down and people lost their minds on Twitter.

SubDeliveryMan is the go-to Twitter account for slander, delivery of anonymous hateful messages and receipts.

A new Twitter page @IknoSubDelivery claimed to know the handlers of the account and threatened to expose them if they failed to pay $3000.

The end has come for you @subdeliveryman. Either you close your account NOW or I tell the world your name and your exact location.

The threat seemed to have worked as the SubDeliveryMan Twitter page went down almost immediately.

Someone saw through it.

I'm curious: why are we so certain this SubDeliveryMan drama is not an April Fools' hoax?
