Yesterday this website commenced a three-part mini-series regarding the abhorrent Twitter behavior of anonymous coward and longtime DSR troll Timothy Winkler, a man who resides in the West Michigan area.
When we last left you, I was just explaining that DSR contributor Miranda McCoy had gained the confidence of Winkler (@jsmith72413) through Direct Messages on Twitter.
Somehow Miranda had convinced Winkler that she wasn’t a fan of mine and instead was terrified of my antics. She was just being nice to me via social media so I would leave her alone. I still can’t believe the moron bought this song-and-dance since it’s pretty clear that Miranda and I are friends (not to mention she has been a guest on the DSR Podcast).
And I can’t reiterate enough how incredible this turn of events was when you consider how intent on operating from the shadows Winkler seemed to be. But one Tweet from a pretty girl and “Mike Perrin” was exposed. Literally and figuratively.
Anyway, I have broken down the various DM’s (and trust me, this is only a sampling) into four different categories:
- Small Talk
- Sexting
- Paranoid
- Angry/Psychotic/Despicable
So, let’s start with some of the banal messages …
I know there are a lot of screenshots to sift through, but I want to make sure that one thing doesn’t get overlooked: He sent an unsolicited dick pic because he was being CAUTIOUS. Does this mean that anyone who responds with disgust at receiving a close-up of this guy’s schwantz means they are in cahoots with me? Because if so, there must be a pro-Moss faction forming in the greater Grand Rapids area made up of female Tinder users.
And while he lied about his name, his occupation and his marital status, he made sure to tell Miranda that he wasn’t lying about being tall. Because, apparently, height is one thing he will NOT lie about. A man must have a code, after all.
And now, the provocative. And trust me, I have limited this section just in case any of you are eating while reading this article. And when reviewing these, just remember Miranda was throwing up in her own mouth while receiving them. What a team player.
Have you purged yet? At least I’m not posting the dick pic he sent. Of course, who knows if it is his cock or not, but I didn’t think anyone was interested in perusing that photo regardless.
Onto the paranoid section of their discourse ….
At this point, Miranda had had enough of this fool and I was on the precipice of alerting him that the jig was up. But before I did, I wanted to give him a false sense of security that I was still grasping at straws regarding his identity just to lure him in for the Death Blow.
Notice that this is the SAME picture of a PARKING LOT that he sent to Miranda.
Here are my three favorite portions of that exchange:
1] He claims that this anonymous troll account he created is doing the bidding of Detroit media members who have financed the operation. Hahhahah. Are you fucking kidding me? How much does it cost to open an anonymous Twitter account? Like, can you imagine a meeting of Anthony Fenech, Scott Anderson and Winkler at a Denny’s in Grand Rapids hatching this elaborate cabal?
2] The dope actually thought acting confused and spelling “Claire” and “Winkler” purposely wrong was going to throw us off the scent. Welp, if he called himself “Wink” and his daughter “Clare” we MUST have the wrong guy!!!!
3] His constant attempts to convince me that this is all an elaborate trap he had deliberately planned. Like, when you plant a landmine, you don’t go around telling your bait WHERE the device is located. If he REALLY wanted me to write a main page article and to mention his disgusting trolling on the podcast in order to lure me in, he WOULD NOT have disclosed his master plan until AFTER I had done so. Unless, this wasn’t a plan at all and Winkler just got caught red-handed because he was thinking with the wrong head.
And this is where things get real ugly. So after I exposed the Twitter account @jsmith72413 as being Timothy Winkler, he figured out that it was Miranda who had set him up.
Now, keep in mind that “Mike Perrin” would have no reason at all to be mad at Miranda if he were TRULY running a sting operation on me. In fact, Miranda had just given him the best gift ever. BUT, that was not his reaction to the news that he had been duped ….
“… this was planned to show what a fucking waste of air this guy is. And funded by a lot of important detroit people.”
Dying. That one never gets old. Yeah, I hear Dan Gilbert and Atanas Ilitch are Timothy Winkler’s “Koch Brothers.”
Like a sniper, Miranda responded with perfectly timed, sarcastic shots at his ludicrous story: “You’re wasting minutes on your prepaid phone.”
DEHD.
And if there was any lingering doubt that this dolt attended U of M, this quote laid it to rest: “You think I ever believed a MSU fan from OHIO?!? LMFAO”
LMFAO, indeed.
“Can’t even get right AFTER BEING PARALYZED.”
I mean, what kind of MONSTER would say that to another human being? Well, in Part III you will find out. But it gets worse ….
“Hope your paralyzed ass stays in that fucking chair bc you’re a snitch.”
At this point I was actually worried about Miranda’s state of mind after these vicious attacks by this sociopath. Like, in twenty minutes, he went from this ….
“I’ve been in tears … I value you so much.”
To ….. I hope you rot in that chair ya fucking bitch.
Whoa.
And how did Miranda react to my concern? …..
“Gangsta, Gangsta! That’s what they’re yellin ….”
Incredibly, that lipstick emoji didn’t cause me to send Miranda a picture of my cock. Great restraint on my part if you ask me.
At this point you might be thinking to yourself, Moss, are you 100% sure you have the right guy? “Mike Perrin” seems pretty indignant that he is NOT Timothy Winkler.
Do you think I would be making these claims if I weren’t POSITIVE these messages were emanating from Winkler? And how do I know? Well, the dummy made three huge mistakes.
1] He sent that Snapchat photo to Miranda which confirmed that we were dealing with the same guy. As Miranda said, whatever is going on between his eyebrows is a sure tell.
2] His Twitter handle is @jsmith72413. Hmmmm. Wonder what that “72413” references? I give you the West Michigan birth announcements from July of 2013 as recapped by MLive.com:
His daughter “Clare” (or is it “Claire”?) was born on July 24, 2013. Sometimes people reference that date as 72413. Now, when confronted with this information, “Mike Perrin” could have said, “of course that is Winkler’s daughter’s birthday …. I WAS SETTING HIM UP FOR THE FALL to take you down.”
But. That. Is. Not. What. He. Tweeted.
Either stick with the frame-up story or own that it’s you who’s behind the account, but you can’t claim it’s a COINCIDENCE that your daughter was born on the same date as your lucky LOTTERY NUMBERS.
This isn’t “Lost.” And you aren’t Hugo.
3) Between the Snapchat pic and the daughter’s birthday, that would have been plenty of documentation to run with this story. But I wanted as much evidence as possible so I asked Miranda to get this nutjob’s cell phone number.
And the moron provided it to her. Why was this a key piece of the puzzle?
You are just going to have to trust me that those last three numbers match and that Tim Winkler was texting Miranda from the AT & T number matching his name.
So, in the face of all of this information, did Winkler just pack it in, disappear from social media and hope this all would blow over (just like every other person whom we’ve exposed)?
Of course not.
He doubled-down on the lies and started emailing me directly proclaiming his innocence and saying that if I posted this expose, he would sue me. Claiming that a friend of his saw his picture on my Twitter account and alerted Winkler to the “mistaken identity.”
Those back-and-forth messages will be unveiled tomorrow (Part III of the trilogy) along with Winkler’s history of fraudulent behavior — plus Lynn Henning and Martin Shkreli’s involvement in this takedown.
