So has anyone read about this Steve Rannazzisi guy, stand-up comic and actor from the show "The League" ? He's been telling a story about being in the 2nd WTC tower on 9/11 when the planes hit for more than 5 years and recently admitted it's all made up

So here are some articles about this guy coming clean about his fabrications
NY Times // BBC // CNN // Washington Post
Here is one of the most blatant occurrences of him telling the story, on the Marc Maron Podcast at about 24:30
Telling it on a Pauly Shore show at 1m20s
Dodgy version of the story on an Entertainment Weekly podcast
According to what I've been reading, everything from the job at Merrill Lynch and beyond is a complete lie and fabrication, he was never employed at Merrill Lynch who did not even have offices in the 2nd tower, and he was not in the towers or anything.
Was recently hired for an ad campaign with Buffalo Wild Wings, and was promptly dropped after this came out... lucky for FX The League is in their last season, he is one of the main characters on that show.
