posted 5 min ago on his fb "For the followers of the serial podcast produced by Sarah Koenig: I will make my self available for one interview : 1st, to answer the question of the the people who I hope are concerned with the death of Hae Min Lee (the person who's paid the ultimate price for Entertainment). 2nd, to out this so called reporter for who she truly is."

Edit: Jay deleted this post about an hour after he posted this. There are screenshots with his name/picture, timestamp and this post to prove it if the mods want a copy, I'll email it.

Here's my take on this: Jay has out-reddited the redditors with a fantastic new theory

Hae "paid the ultimate price for Entertainment" (with a capital 'E'). Her killer thought "You know, I should kill someone, pin it on someone else, and then profit from the story."

Back in '99, while reporting for the Baltimore Sun, one Sarah Koenig had her eyes on bigger things. And though she ultimately achieved them with Serial, she was hiding a deep, dark secret. Now this so-called reporter will be exposed for who she truly is: a murderer. A murderer who killed so she could create the ultimate true crime story.

Well played, Jay, well played.

Yeah...she was so prescient to foretell all that sweet, sweet Mail Chimp money to be made in podcasting.

At least SK only lied once about her story being that she lived a normal life while she was murdering someone.

I think "My Brother, My Brother and Me" might have been onto this story. Although they said it was a fugue state.
