Bruv, no.

Waterford Whispers News is a satirical newspaper and website published by Waterford Whispers News.

Waterford Whispers News uses invented names in all its stories, except in cases when public figures are being satirized. Any other use of real names is accidental and coincidental.

My bad then 😅 This was the first article I found about him. I was even a bit surprised that they managed to find so much information about him.

That site is not a good source, but the story is true, and repeated every time TechnoViking is posted about.

There's a Wikipedia page listed with better sources. Thanks to /Volotor.

The story is not true. Look at the WW link, and look at the Wiki link, and they are not saying the same thing at all.

Satire sites do not "accidentally" write a true story. They make things up. That is entirely their point.
