According to Michael, he subsequently uncovered Joele Frank’s ties to various Twitter accounts posting obviously fake theories. Michael explains how he discovered that a good portion of the disinformation on Twitter concerning the Las Vegas massacre originated from an account with the handle @DeepStvte. Curiously, the @DeepStvte account is heavily connected with bots, which have helped it spread nonsense conspiracy theories about the shooting, including the ludicrous claims that there was no blood and no victims in the shooting. After @DeepStvte was able to successfully spread several bogus conspiracy theories on Twitter, Michael took a deeper look at the account and made several disturbing discoveries. Michael writes: “Now, here is where it gets really weird. Sifting through every reply on the DeepStvte account, I discovered someone who made a few replies in the comment sections — an individual by the name of Mr. Scott Bisang, handle @sbis85. Upon further research, Mr. Bisang is the Head Manager of Joele Frank, the crisis management firm that Mandalay Bay hired after the 1 October Shooting. So, when I searched his Twitter to find his comments on the Las Vegas Massacre again for this piece, all of the posts/replies had been deleted.” Michael goes on to describe what he sees as an intentional disinformation campaign by the crisis management firm to muddy the waters and confuse people who are in good faith seeking answers to the tragedy in Las Vegas: “Furthermore, the REAL conspiracy theories that were being propagated by the above mentioned Twitter handles were pushing stories such as the shooting was fake, there was no blood, no victims, crisis actors, the whole nine-yards; while simultaneously discrediting any viable theories made by the public. These are, without question, professionals. And, when I mean pushing their real conspiracy theories: they were getting 7.5M impressions at one point in October on Twitter. This was a direct disinformation campaign designed to lure folks who were questioning the official narrative into being told fairy-tales about what actually happened that night, and thus become discredited as ‘conspiracy theorists’ after they rattle off some absurd story that they were told by one of those Twitter handles.”
