Tell us when you have fruit on the tree. i like to know if this is true...i still have some mesta seeds but don't know if i will grow or not.

Well, we went through this with this person before. First special variety 2 years from seed, now 4 years from seed. No matter what, it's still mangosteen. I believe textbooks say something like 10-15 years from seed. Some people able to turbocharge them and get 6-7 years from seed, but those are very rare exeptions.
My mesta seedlings planted 4 years ago, and before than 2 years in nursery.  Nowhere near fruiting.

I never said anywhere that I have a special mangosteen which fruits in 2 years.

Here he writes that you need a seedling grown from under his tree because they are the best and can fruit in 4 years...you can use google translate.

You just need to use your brain,and don't follow blindly everything you read some supposed "authority" says. Internet is full of misleading information from all kinds of authrorities. He probably meant grafted, even if he meant seedling it's probably some anecdotal evidence he heard from somebody.  I have 7 mesta trees, 6 years from seed. They grow exactly at the same speed like regular mangosteen and look exactly like regular mangosteen. Until it fruits no one will ever guess the difference.
