Couple true things and a couple false things about Luckey's statement here https://m.facebook.com/palmer.luckey/posts/10209141115659366 …
-
For one thing, he was "NimbleRichMan" as I described. In emails to me, as I reported, he said he posted with the account made for him
-
-
As you can see here,
@PalmerLuckey clearly indicates that he made those posts under that name which he claims the founders of the group made -
Additionally, I didn't report that he was the founder but that his name was listed as "vice president."
-
One more email: Luckey clearly states in here that the NimbleRichMan account represents him.pic.twitter.com/RC4mXPFDkM
-
So this account "represents" him and he wrote some of the posts. His statement is thus inaccurate.
-
In short, Luckey accurately said what he contributed to Nimble America but was inaccurate about the reddit account. http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2016/09/24/oculus-founder-caught-lying-about-donation-to-pro-trump-group.html?via=desktop&source=copyurl …

I would add that there are a lot of archived posts from the account that sure sound like Luckey. https://archive.is/4OuYq#selection-2433.49-2437.52 …pic.twitter.com/nOvbuaTiB6

In this NimbleRichMan AMA, he says that Milo helped verify his identity. That could only be Luckey, folks. https://archive.is/4OuYq#selection-2433.49-2437.52 …pic.twitter.com/7NK1iIwJWg
-
As we reported, Milo was the person who tied Luckey to the other people involved with the project. Seems clear Luckey posted under this name
-
Finally, here's proof that "NimbleRichMan" was listed as "Vice President" on the Nimble America site.pic.twitter.com/X4zT0n3W3D
-
I'd add that Luckey sought this out. He liked what he saw on The Donald subreddit and wanted to be involved. Email from Nimble Americapic.twitter.com/7mbuVGVLE9

Could you show the few messages before that? Nowhere in this does he, or you, indicate what post you mean.

Those screenshots are pretty out-of-context. Why are you only sharing a tiny snippet of the discussion and removing context?
-
probably because it's Twitter
