Dog person. Cyclist. Pro democracy. I hate mean people. I aspire to Bill & Ted’s excellent goal: we should be excellent to each other. Spinal cord injury. That’s my real hair. Never trumper. No DMs please.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵
