The story just doesn't add up.

"2X successful founder"... looking on Crunchbase, he founded Digiforce "acquired" by Strategic Link partners. digiforce.com directs to some random japanese site and the Strategic Link site looks like something made from a (bad) wordpress template. I almost wonder if he made up a company to acquire his company.

Next, no way Facebook hires someone like that to lead "THE" growth team for pages. Maybe as an entry level PM or something. He was only at facebook for 1.5 years, which also makes me skeptical he was such a high priority hire for Snapchat.

Sounds like a bunch of hot air and resume puffing to me. My guess is that Snapchat realized he had an overly active imagination and had taken liberties with his resume.
