Is he Linus?

Is this picture Linus, or this new paper using the wrong picture ?

It said he forget set his phone to airplane mode on Ireland to US flights, and get a 400$ bill from AT&T

Holy fuck I think that is Linus, but it looks like it's from a Techquikie episode.

Definitely him.  But you gotta remember that the press over there is ... not to be trusted... so that is likely just a picture they found of him online and put into the article.

what is this paper? i can read most of the text, seems the story has nothing to do with linus.

It looks a lot like him but you need to remember that AT&T doesn't exist in Canada, which is where Linus is. 

And to people saying "but the flight was to the US so he might be roaming on AT&T's network!" your home network (e.g. TELUS or Bell) charges you, not the network you roam on (e.g. AT&T).

This is probably a fake story.

welp i believe this is definitely linus. wonder if taking screenshot and printed it on newspaper still within the umbrella of fair use.

it says the pic is taken from youtube, but no citation.
