This is silly and reads like a thriller rather than a recounting of real events.

> interesting back story investigation

No! As stated in their reply to this, you should assume that everything that account writes is fiction.

They said that they were essentially trying to write a The Big Short-style screenplay in real time as the story unfolds. To do that, they link to actual newsworthy tweets and "fill it in with realistic stereotypes".

It's a shame that this account is one of the most responsive aggregators of new developments, as I find their real-time fictionalization incredibly irresponsible.
