In July 2016, the CartelPress.com web site published an article reporting that a 15-year-old boy had stabbed his brother to death because he thought the younger boy had deleted his Pokemon: There was no truth to this story. The tale originated with CartelPress.com, one of many fake news web sites that publish fabricated stories to lure social media users into clicking on them and generating ad revenue. Cartel Press has been making something of a cottage industry of pumping out fake news items about tragedies supposedly involving the newly-released Pokemon Go app, including a report that a man absorbed in playing Pokemon Go had caused a major traffic accident.
