At around midnight Eastern time last night, the community known as #MetsTwitter struck again. A Twitter account called "InMetsWeTrust" stumbled upon what Appears to be the Twitter account of Mets Chief Executive Officer Jeff Wilpon .
Likely by searching "Wilpon" on the social networking sight, the user came across an account called "Awilpon4" which Appears to be Jeff Wilpon's daughter Amanda. They then noticed a picture Amanda had posted wishing her father a happy birthday, which can be seen below:
Shout out to the best dad i could have ever asked for. Have the best birthday big guy !! Loveyou! Greenwichmets Pic.twitter.com/pKLeFmnCX7

Unless Amanda got her father's twitter name wrong, he appears to have an account called "Jeff Scott." His profile is private, so only those he authorizes can see his tweets, but it did not take long for his account name to spread across the Mets fan twitter community. As soon as they discovered the account, InMetsWeTrust tweeted it out to their 5,000 followers:
In Case Anyone is interested: This - Greenwichmets - is Jeff Wilpon's Twitter. Carry on.

Disgruntled Mets fans began tweeting at Wilpon shortly after, about things like their interest in Troy Tulowitzki ...

Update: It is despicable and abusive to harass Jeff's daughter as some have recently done on Twitter. I will personally be reporting each and every instance of harassment I come across and urge everyone to realize these are people and that his daughter has NOTHING to do with the team or her father's business ventures.
