The individual - who is also the co-founder of Snopes, put his pseudonym on some of the source information and claimed to have been the author. So that individual - who is also the co-founder of Snopes, lied.

But Snopes didn't lie. In fact when the other officers of Snopes realized what was going on they did an internal investigation, and suspended their own co-founder from publishing anything on the platform, and issued the apology to the public.
