Claim: Tom Anderson, co-founder of Myspace, vanished after selling his social media company to News Corp. for $580 million. It said: "This is Tom Anderson. Anderson co-founded the popular social networking site in 2003 along with Chris DeWolfe, and before long, it became the world's leading social media platform. Myspace automatically made Anderson new users' "first friend," with his photo appearing in a person's top eight friends on the platform, where he was known as "Tom from Myspace," "Myspace Tom" or "My friend, Tom." Although Anderson, now 53, maintains a low profile and no longer leads a major social media corporation, he did not disappear after selling Myspace for $580 million.
