I think this is reddit post is a made up lie as I discussed in the comment section with my reddit account socialcircleguy.
There is still a 5% or so chance it is real and if was real the email may imply interesting things.
I am putting this in off topic as it's probably a lie that shouldn't be put in serious threads at the same time it felt a bit too interesting or important to just make it a status update and it's kind of fun to think about I guess.
