Man learns casino losses not deductible
BLOOMFIELD VILLAGE, Mich., Aug. 17 (UPI) -- A Michigan 15-year-old whose phone number was posted to Twitter by teen singer Justin Bieber said he got more than 26,000 calls and texts during the weekend.
Kevin Kristopik, 15, of Bloomfield Village, whose number was briefly posted to the singer's Twitter account Saturday night in apparent retaliation for the teenager obtaining Bieber's phone number from a hacked Facebook page and texting him, said he had received about 26,000 calls and texts from Bieber fans by Monday morning, The Detroit News reported Tuesday.
Bieber's post, which was deleted shortly after it went up, insinuated to his 4.5 million followers that the number was his.
Kristopik's father, Mike Kristopik, said his son changed his phone number and deleted his Twitter account Monday. The father said he does not approve of his son's actions.
"If I have a $20,000 bill, I'm going to be pretty upset," he said.
The Detroit News said calls to Bieber's representatives for comment went unanswered Monday.
