17. Not if all they are doing is looking at today's screenshot.

The point is that there is an allegation he deleted all of his tweets. If he sent 1000 tweeets, and deleted all of them, I believe the screenshot would look identical to someone who had not tweeted at all.

I just deletee two tweets, and my tweet count went down by two, as if I'd never tweeted them. I'm not going to delete all of them to test - but unless there is something bizarre about deleting the last tweet - you can delete back to a fresh slate that would look identical to someone who had never tweeted at all.

So, without more, there is no way to tell which of the two scenarios applies. I see nothing in the article suggesting they did anything beyond look at the currently public home page (e.g. talk to him, search the archives, etc. to see if his home page reflected reality)
