A note from Keith

Please forgive me if I don't count coverage by Techcrunch as verification. Did he tweet it? Link from FB? Send a signed email?

It could be legit, but the bar should be higher than this.

Kara Swisher says she got the same statement from him.

I totally agree that most news sites do a poor job of verifying information before parroting information, but several sites are quoting a statement from Square that seems to verify this (e.g. http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-square-e...)

Every tech site is referencing it.

Wasn't there a post yesterday about how gaming sites reference sources because others do (without any due diligence)?

That's true, but Kara usually does a pretty good job of actual journalism and verifying sources.
