The Lakewood Scoop has published that the letter signed by the Kinus people was a forgery
It was signed by the Gabbi of Rav Malkiel Kotler , Rav Shmuel Lemberger
While Links generally are not allowed, I think this one should be (The Mods can edit it out if they feel nessasary)
Anyone who would forge a letter in the name of Gedolei Torah are Reshiam and there is no reason to belive them for anything
