**An investigation into the empty Twitter accounts that worship Peter Casey - A THREAD**

*please note that these are NOT emphatic accusations, this thread is just speculation supported by compelling evidence*
In this thread, we will analyse a number of brand-new, generic Twitter accounts that have no content aside from tweets about Peter Casey, replies to his tweets, and replies to his critics. I will compile evidence which suggests that Casey may be affiliated with these accounts.
Based on the evidence I've gathered, it's possible that these accounts are being operated by some of Peter Casey's friends/colleagues, or even Casey himself. This is not a concrete accusation, but rather an analysis of some suspicious Twitter activity that seem strangely related.
Before I start, let me make it clear that I am NOT claiming any of this to be 100% fact. I simply believe that the evidence I've gathered is enough for me to SUGGEST that Peter Casey OR some of Casey's colleagues MIGHT be using several dud accounts to artificially canvass for him
The purpose of this thread is to objectively present the evidence that I have found recently, and to allow the reader to analyse the evidence and draw their own conclusion. This theory could be false, but a lot of tweets seen weirdly related. With that being said, let's begin...
So, the four "people" that dedicate their accounts to tweeting about Peter Casey include:

@mrgenius7997
@Richard70806144
@larrymc52793809
@saralou08699541

These accounts started appearing in April and May 2019, and none of their profiles have any semblance of humanity.
The profiles are completely generic and empty, with no profile customisation whatsoever. Some of them follow certain news sites on Twitter, but they dedicate their accounts to tweeting about Peter Casey.

That's not normal behaviour.
These accounts have no individuality or personality, and it's strange how they all share the same extreme beliefs as Peter Casey. Let's start off with some light evidence which shows that these accounts may be linked...
--THE EVIDENCE--

*Part I - Devices Used*

Peter Casey uses Twitter on his iPhone semi-frequently, but if you inspect his tweets, you'll find that he is more fond of Twitter Web Client (a fancy term for using Twitter on a computer or laptop)
This fact alone is nothing remarkable, but using Twitter on computers is becoming more unusual, as smartphones have taken over and most Twitter users have switched to Android/iOS devices.

But here's where it starts to get interesting....
"Mr Genius", "Richard", "Sara Lou" and "Larry McGee" ALL USE TWITTER WEB CLIENT EXCLUSIVELY.
What are the odds that FOUR people decided to set up Twitter accounts in April/May, neglected to customise their profiles, and suddenly started incessantly tweeting solely about Peter Casey, ALL while using Twitter Web Client?
Of course, this doesn't hold up as evidence by itself. This could be an unlikely coincidence, and these could be insane elderly Peter Casey die-hard supporters for all we know (I doubt it).

BUT this starts to become peculiar when you consider the timing of their tweets...
*PART II - Timing of Tweets*

Sometimes, when Peter Casey posts a tweet, a few of these dud accounts are quick to reply with overwhelming support. Not only is the "Twitter Web Client" situation pretty suspicious, but the time it takes for them to respond is even more concerning.
Here's one example - this Peter Casey tweet was posted at 11:34am, from Twitter Web Client.
One of Casey's "supporters" happened to reply at 11:35am, from Twitter Web Client. But who was it...?

Mr Genius!
Oh look! Sara Lou and Larry McGee also replied to this tweet, at 11:39 and 11:46 respectively!
(.....from Twitter Web Client)

And of course, Peter Casey himself retweeted Mr Genius' reply (previous tweet). Nothing unusual there (!)
To back up my claim that Mr Genius may be a Peter Casey colleague (or Casey himself) in disguise, let's investigate this account.

It should also come as no surprise that "Mr Genius" posts a lot of derogatory tweets about travellers...
*PART III - Analysing the Suspicious Blank Accounts*

>>Account One - Mr Genius<<

Mr Genius is clearly a huge fan of Peter Casey, but who is he?
Are there any pictures of him anywhere on his account? Has his account been active for months, or even years, and has he tweeted about a variety of topics over the years like a normal account?

Nope! Mr Genius, like the other three generic accounts, is an enigma.
Mr Genius is an account that was created in APRIL 2019. He has no profile picture, no cover photo, no birthday, no location, no customisation whatsoever. And he's only following 22 accounts - how many of them are politicians?

Oh.... Just ONE. No prizes for guessing who it is.
Also, this is just hilarious, and one of the strongest pieces of evidence. "Mr Genius" almost exposed himself here, and the cracks started to appear in this account.

"I think I was being sarcastic"

I really want an explanation for that, because it was NOT autocorrect.
Mr Genius has been a busy man since he joined Twitter last month, with over 2000 tweets. You won't be surprised that most of these tweets are about Peter Casey, but why?

How is it possible for a person to be so obsessed with ONE politician? (I use "politician" loosely here)
Why would he create an account in April, shortly before the European elections, just to incessantly endorse a single candidate? And isn't it strange how he seems to reply to Casey's tweets almost immediately after they're posted, and from the same device type that Casey uses?
But of course, humanity is full of strange characters. This could be an exceptionally weird human being who has an unusual fascination with Peter Casey, and it's probably an isolated case....

...right?
NOPE!

Like I mentioned, there are THREE similar accounts that were created within the past two months!
>>Account Two - Larry McGee<<

This is just getting weird now.
Larry McGee, ANOTHER completely empty account with no customisation? His username is a randomly generated one that Twitter gives you when you first sign up, so he hasn't even made the effort to change his handle after registering.
No profile picture, no distinct personality, no evidence that it's a real person?

When did "Larry" create this account? May 2019!

Larry doesn't follow anybody, but when he signed up, he came out SWINGING when he started retweeting several Peter Casey tweets like a lunatic.
Larry has also retweeted Mr Genius' tweets about Peter Casey - surprise! But check this out...

Peter Casey posted this tweet at 18:06, from Twitter Web Client:
Larry McGee was quick to reply at 18:14, from Twitter Web Client! Not to mention that his reply is so embarrassingly artificial and pandering. This was just two minutes after Sara Lou replied, from Twitter Web Client, but we'll discuss Sara Lou later in this thread.
Believe it or not, this is only going to get more absurd as we move onto the next fake account...
>>Account Three - Richard<<

Once again, this is a very lazily created account. This could be created in minutes, as there is no customisation AGAIN, and the Twitter handle is automatically generated AGAIN.
To create an account like this, all you need is an email address. Just input a random birthday, set your name to Richard, and an account exactly like this would be ready to go. It's such a simple process to create a generic account, which Peter Casey seemingly knows about.
Oh, this account was created in May 2019.

He follows one account - Peter Casey!

He has one follower - it's Peter Casey!
One tweet? It's a reply to Peter Casey! And would you look at this crazy coincidence - Casey tweeted from Web Client at 10:15, and the BRAND NEW account "Richard" replied from Web Client at 10:28! Let's just review the chain of events, assuming that "Richard" is real...
#1. Casey posts a tweet at 10:15.

Within the space of THIRTEEN MINUTES:
-This man "Richard" joins Twitter.
-Richard searches for Peter Casey's account specifically, follows him (and nobody else), and Casey follows Richard back, despite Richard having NO CONTENT ON HIS ACCOUNT...
#2. Richard sees Casey's latest tweet, then offers to volunteer for his campaign, in his FIRST TWEET. Why on earth would "Richard" make an account just to do something like this? And why would Casey follow an empty account that had JUST been created and had only posted one tweet?
This actually needs no explanation. It's so blatantly obvious that this is Peter's bollocksing around, that I can just let the screenshots speak for themselves. It was such an obvious Sockpuppet that a few people started to realise what was going on...
Ever since he was called out by two people, Richard has not posted even one tweet. I wonder why...

Now let's move onto the final phoney account!
>>Account Four - Sara Lou<<

Looks like Peter decided to shake things up by adopting a female persona! Does it make the Sockpuppeting less obvious? Nope, don't expect anything intelligent from this man.
You know the drill now - pay attention to the time beneath Peter Casey's tweets and Sara Lou's replies.

-One!-
Two!
Three!
Four!
*Part IV - The Singular Plot Hole*

When you consider the amount of evidence pointing towards Peter Casey and his team canvassing for themselves with generic accounts, it's hard to refute it. But there are admittedly a few small details that challenge this theory, such as this...
Mr Genius watches wrestling? I have loved WWE myself since 2009, but Peter Casey does not strike me as a wrestling fan. Due to small details like this, it's difficult to determine if these accounts are controlled by a friend of Casey, Casey himself, or an actual insane supporter.
I want to be completely objective in this investigation, so I decided to highlight that plot point. So... should we excuse Casey and give him the benefit of the doubt?

Uhhh, don't be so quick to trust him just yet, because we're about to cover some vital evidence.
*Part V - The Nail in the Coffin*

I can't say for a fact that Peter Casey himself is controlling all these accounts. But I know that he's up to something, and these accounts are NOT real supporters.
Why would they all pop up out of nowhere in April and May, and start worshipping Peter Casey?

But hey! These accounts are slightly distinct, because they have different 'typing styles'.

Peter Casey types coherently, Larry/Richard/Sara Lou are decent at typing, but Mr Genius...
... he's clearly not great at operating a keyboard. Surely this proves that they are all different people?
Is it possible that Peter Casey (or anybody who may have access to his main account), covers themselves by altering the way they type when using one of these dud accounts? Is there any evidence that suggests that Peter Casey tries to pose as other people, and types differently?
Checkmate, I guess.
I wonder why Peter was replying to himself, as if he was a different person, and why was he typing in lowercase letters, which he usually never does? And which one of his own tweets was he replying to?

Well, this can be traced back to a Peter Casey tweet from May 3 2019 at 14:02
Four minutes later, Peter Casey received a supportive reply from Dud Account #1, Sara Lou. Then another four minutes later, Peter Casey received another supportive reply from Dud Account #2... Peter Casey?

Wait, a reply from himself, which he immediately deleted? What happened?
Well, the LOGICAL explanation is that Peter forgot to switch to one of his fake accounts, and he quickly realised his mistake and tried to destroy the evidence. But I'd love to hear an explanation from the man himself! I don't trust him though, so here's my educated guess...
Peter must have been going all out, by replying to his own tweet with several of his fake accounts. He successfully started off with a Sara Lou reply, and he probably planned to switch over to Mr Genius for the next fake reply.... and you just saw how that worked out for him.
"peter you have my vote" just SCREAMS 'Mr Genius tweet' to me. It's possible that Casey accidentally allowed this "Mr Genius" persona to cross over to his main account, and he exposed himself in the process.

Still not as bad as arguing with a Luke Ming Flanagan parody account!
*Part VI - CONCLUSION*

In conclusion, I think when you consider the content of these accounts, their sudden influx in April/May, their obsession with Peter Casey, and the timing of their tweets, SOMEBODY IS UP TO NO GOOD.
I don't know if Peter Casey controls these fake accounts himself, or if a friend or PR Manager does it for him. But no matter what, it's clear that somebody on Casey's team is using social media for a very disingenuous purpose.
The way that these accounts shamelessly pander to Peter Casey's ego is completely unnatural. Humans don't act like that, and it's very suspicious that they started appearing left, right and centre at such a convenient time for Casey.
The Mr Genius account (who blocked me while I was compiling this thread - coward) posts some pretty derogatory tweets, and they may seem out of character for Casey which suggests that somebody else could be doing this work for him...
...but considering the way Peter Casey behaves on Twitter, I wouldn't be surprised if it was him. Again, I don't know who is behind these accounts, but I know that these aren't normal people, and this isn't normal behaviour.
Does Peter Casey have multiple people operating these accounts for him? I don't know, but regardless of the answer, HE IS UP TO SOMETHING.
This screenshot right here is the KILLER. THIS connects all the pieces of the puzzle. This completes my theory, this is what makes it a serious case, and it greatly increases the likelihood that Casey is the mastermind behind these accounts. He can't defend this.
FINAL DISCLAIMER - I am super confident that Peter Casey is affiliated with these accounts in one way or another, but without indisputable evidence of him using these accounts or admitting to it, I can't emphatically claim this as a fact.
This is not a takedown of Peter Casey, I have no intention of trying to harm his reputation, and I am not accusing him of an unethical practice with no doubt in the world.

For years, PKMX has created analytical content - this is an analysis which explores a possible scenario.
Honestly I think it's pretty hard to refute all this evidence, but at the same time, I can't be certain that my claims are 100% legitimate.

Again, I made this thread to present the evidence and to allow the reader to come up with their own conclusion and ideas.
I could be wrong, I could be right, but I think I'm onto something here. There's a small chance that Peter hasn't used fake accounts at all, but if he is ever proven guilty of doing so, I won't be surprised.

Remember, there is no defense for the "peter you have my vote" tweet!
That's all, folks! Hopefully I won't get sued for this, I'm kinda worried to be honest - let's just hope that Peter Casey won't abuse his millionaire power against me.

Thank god he lost two elections in a row and has no political power 😅
If you care enough to analyse the evidence, you can decide yourself if Peter and his team are disingenuously using fake accounts or not.

Feel free to let me know what you think!
Alexa, play "Busted" by Candace and Vanessa (Phineas and Ferb, 2008)

Also gonna link some tweets showing other people realising that these accounts are bogus 😎

Even more evidence that "Sara Lou" doesn't exist 😄

Just gonna put this at the end of the thread...

Do these accounts belong to Peter Casey, or is there some ballistic underground group of ardent Peter Casey supporters..?

Either way, this is intriguing in the most terrifying ways, what have I done

This information adds a whole new dynamic to the situation - THIS supports the "multiple people affiliated with Casey controlling the accounts" idea, but.....

... THIS supports the "Peter Casey controlling the accounts" idea. It's such a complex situation, but please don't hesitate to tell me your own opinion!
