Good to hear, you were on the right side of the issue. I had no idea the lengths Tuiasosopo went to to deceive Te'o - even pulling his parents into the hoax while there was another death in their family. And apparently Te'o was never asked for money (the #1 red flag) and the voice acting was next level. You can't go very far in blaming Te'o for falling for it. I've got a lot of empathy for what he went through. Hope Te'o is doing great post-career.
