Every now and again, someone makes such a spectacular arse of himself, that we all just need to take a moment and ponder the outrageous, flawed absurdity on display. Enter the curious case of Daniel Figurelli, current aggie graduate business school student (@tamu.edu email address) and intern at PriceWaterhouseCoopers. Daniel has been creating fake UT (Texas) twitter accounts and sending racists tweets to football recruits with a #Hookem hashtag. He then re-tweets his racist tweets from his real account and talks about how racist UT fans are. To give you an idea of how disgusting he got, one of his fake twitter accounts was "****s for UT". Yes, he went there. For an example of his art, he sent this to RB, and Ohio St. Commit, JK Dobbins (and to others): Selling yourself to other schools and not coming to UT like a ****, wow. Don't be a total ****, #HookEm. That's the angle he's going for. Pretend to be a racist Texas fan and draw attention to it from his real account. Luckily, Mr. Figurelli is not particularly clever. ShaggyTexas.com users figured out who he was within minutes of his discovery. When he was getting called out on his real account, he denied... BUT ... all the twitter accounts in question immediately went private or were closed. That's quite the coincidence, if those weren't his accounts. Actually, it was pretty much a smoking gun. Taking down the accounts was the dumbest thing he could have done... he could not have more clearly demonstrated ownership than if he just admitted it. A troll account would not take down those tweets or close those accounts because some 3rd party was getting blamed for them. That would just make it more fun for the troll. He panicked and exposed himself in a flawed attempt to hide the evidence. Before he deleted them, all of his accounts were mass favoriting and retweeting all of the other phony accounts. The racist tweets, from all of his different accounts, were re-tweeted by his real account, usually within seconds. It wasn't hard to trace back to the originator. He's playing the victim on twitter, but he's a piece of shite calling underage black students **** on social media for football recruiting purposes and trying to make Texas fans look racist. Of note, Mr. Figurelli is\was following @thefunnyracist @tooracist and @DopeRacistShit on his other twitter account (@danielE63amg). Onto the pictures and additional info: @CFB_RT is one of his fakes, and it's clearly a pro aggy Twitter account. And then look what he does from it...
