Burner Twitter accounts operated by Bryan Colangelo's wife?

According to some researches made by Twitter users, Bryan Colangelo’s wife, Barbara Bottini, could be behind the burner accounts that criticized some 76ers players and former members of the franchise.

Per Uproxx, Some Twitter sleuthing from Rich Hofmann of The Athletic Philadelphia revealed the Eric Jr account was active during a Colangelo press conference, replying to others, which would seem to rule out Colangelo himself as the operator of that account, which had the most aggressive tweets.

Looking back, Bryan Colangelo held a media availability right before the Heat game on February 11, 2017 to address Joel Embiid’s (previously undisclosed) torn meniscus. From looking at the timestamps, it seems like during that time, Eric Jr was also tweeting during that session. pic.twitter.com/9Q1JOdrXZW

However, Twitter user @legsanity has spent much of Wednesday digging through that account and the Colangelo family tree to figure out who it could possibly be and has put together a very compelling case that it was Colangelo’s wife, Barbara Bottini — you can read his reasoning in full here. The biggest breakthrough came later in the evening when the phone number attached to the account (found via account recovery), as well as the email, appears to match that of Bottini (which they ultimately found through Upper Canada College Parent’s Organization).

????????????????????

Colangelo’s wife, Barbara Bottini has a phone number ending in 91, almost certainly linking her to 3 of the burner accounts.
