When @Steven_Ballmer tweeted last night about acquiring a 4% stake in TWTR, many thought he was either hacked or the account was bogus. It appears, given Bloomberg headlines that this has been confirmed. A 4% stake makes him a bigger holder than Jack Dorsey who owns 3.2%.
The initial tweet...
Good job @twitter [6],@twittermoments [7] innovation, @jack [8] Ceo, leaner, more focused. Glad I bought 4% past few months. Like @alwaleedbinT [9] move too

And Bloomberg appears to confirm at 1132ET:
- *STEVE BALLMER SAYS HE OWNS 4% STAKE IN TWITTER
- *STEVE BALLMER COMMENTS IN E-MAIL TO BLOOMBERG NEWS
- Steve Ballmer confirms in e-mail to Bloomberg News that he owns a 4% stake in Twitter.
The result...
