Meet Bahtiyar Duysak, the 'Rogue Employee' Who Deleted Trump's Twitter Account

Many foreigners working in America would love to get the chance to silence the country's notoriously anti-immigration president, but the young man who did so on his last day of work told Tech Crunch that he did so inadvertently; regardless of his sincerity, he became an accidental hero in the process.

While Franklin Roosevelt once touched base with Depression-era America via radio with his Fireside Chats and JFK partly defeated Nixon due to the charisma he radiated in America's first televised debate, the 45th US President is most commonly associated with Twitter, where he's posted 36,500 Tweets.

For 11 minutes this month, however, the billionaire leader's favorite mouthpiece was "taken down" by a mysterious "rogue employee," in Donald Trump's words.

No joke, the internet has nominated the Twitter employee who shut down Trump's account for a Nobel Peace Prize

​Now Tech Crunch has revealed that the man in question was Bahtiyar Duysak, a German national of Turkish descent working for one of Twitter's sub-contractors under a Work and Study visa.

While the move was made on his last day on the job, Duysak claims it was an honest mistake.
