The hacker reported the following...

“We regret to inform our fans that our commissioner, Roger Goodell, has passed away. He was 57. #RIP.”

I know it's wrong, but I laughed.

CNBC actually put it on their scroll this morning. Then seven minutes later they said it was wrong.

The first thing a credible news outlet would do is to make a phone call if they see a tweet like that. But of course, it's CNBC.
