Was Translating Cuba Punked?

Was Translating Cuba Punked?
Posted on May 3, 2013

On April 8 of this year we welcomed "Yusnaby Perez" to the Translating
Cuba family. On April 26, after an avalanche of rumors about his
identity (and his very existence as an individual human being), we asked
"Yusnaby" to give us a "proof of life" and, while waiting to receive
this, ceased to translate his posts.

Today "Yusnaby" has closed his blog "for now." While we were never able
to confirm his existence through friends in Havana — people he was
rumored to claim to know had never met him — likewise, we have not been
able to confirm his "non-existence" and who (singular or plural) might
be the person/people behind the blog, Twitter and Facebook accounts.

If and when there is more to this story, we will bring it to you, our
readers. In the meantime, like this ephemeral blogger, we will simply
say, that's all "for now."
