I am “John Titor” and I hoaxed it.

My name is John Tressman I am a 22-year-old assistant professor at the University of Florida in Tampa. This is my confession. When I was an 18-year-old college freshman at this same institution, I thought it would have been fun to see how far I could have taken this story. I am concerned about future events from my point of view. I just wanted to try to wake up some people; at the same time have some fun. I do not believe my prior conduct to have been criminal in the least, I am not worried of criminal charges. It was a just fun to the American Idiot. My objective was not to get everyone to believe me, however it was to see if I could fool some people, which I believe I surely have had.

You damn fools. Prank over.

Sit there and think about this last statement for literally 120 seconds before continuing.





Damn you I said wait, at least for a little bit and think.





Okay I totally made that all up in the last five minutes. If I had got deeper into the subject, I could have made that all so more believable. However I have a simple point to make. If someone really did stand up and claim to be John Titor and stated the previous forum postings were a hoax. How could that person prove HE (or even she) WAS “John Titor” and not someone just making it up as I just did? All the evidence there of his hoax is openly avaible to that person. How could we ever know this was hoax? How could we know that it wasn’t just a hoax, that his claims of the previous events really were a hoax?

Who believes as I do this story could have a reasonable possibility of being true? We got less than three weeks to go, let's see what happens.

John Titor Hoax


overlord how do u prove what is unprovable? we have all agreed that we wont know until the end of this year or beginning of next as i recall the biggest clue was the no more olympics and once again as stated before he claimed he was from another timeline, not ours,, his claims are impossible to disprove or prove because we are not "his" exact worldline,, its the perfect story that involves never being proven,,why cant people understand that? if hes a fraud then he knows u cant prove him wrong with the worldline story, if hes right then we may be the same exact history as his or slightly or moderately different,,deny ignorance, pay attention

"Actually, I'm Spartacus, but just for now, I'll be John Titor"

Fade to the Appian Way where half of the members of ATS are crucified and have 'banned' stamped on their foreheads.


And that's just the kind of thing we will continue to get. Those here a few months ago will no doubt remember the 'Aussie Bloke' hoax and I believe there was something similar beforehand (Prior to the appearance of the Pisky to these hallowed halls).

Whereas AB was proved to be a hoax (even before the earth failed to be struck by the asteroids he 'predicted'), the JT story can run and run and there will still be people convinced of his veracity. Why ? - because of his 'multiple timeline' story. If something happens according to his 'historical evidence' then he is real. If this particular thing fails to materialise, its 'because we are in a different timeline'.

I'd still like to read 'his' book though. The story is fascinating in a H.G. Wells kind of way.

And in case no one knows, he's supposed to be dead.

ever hear of disinformation? ever watch an episode of x files? come on just because some guy steps up says hes the guy and he has no clue what it all about even though vacation time, work history and schooling history all match up doesnt mean its a fraud,, there are alot of reasons why this smells bad,, the most we know is there is a man claiming to be the real aussie, and we never got hit,, thats all we know, it doesnt prove that it was all bs,, i think theres alot we dont know about this and never will

SkepticOverlord,

That is your opinion correct? Or are you speaking for all the Mods and the entire ATS community?

By the way. Deduct 20 points from yourself for the one line response.
