If this turns out to be true, my guess is this was a deal brokered primarily through @Ned from a personal relationship with Justin. If so, Ned has been working quite hard behind the scenes and we kind of owe him an apology.
Also, wouldn’t it be funny if Justin revealed himself as @freedom??
Owe him an apology? No way, even if he was working behind the scenes, he could have written a short tweet saying "Hey Peeps, I am working behind the scenes."
