He also claims to be engaged to former ''America's Got Talent'' star, [[Grace VanderWaal]], despite having never met her in person. | ||
In 2020, Daniel gained a sizeable following due to his unusual style of content, unorthodox appearance, and [[Incidents|erratic behavior]]. As Daniel's popularity increased, more and more people began to exploit his gullibility. Many of these trolls were inspired by the trolling of previous controversial Internet personalities, seeing Daniel as a new [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Christian_Weston_Chandler Chris Chan] or [[wikipedia:Terry_A._Davis|Terry A. Davis]]. To gain Daniel's attention and trust, [[trolls]] would pose as [[Management|managers]] or employees of record labels, preying upon his delusions of fame and fortune. Daniel would fall for their ruses almost every single time, which only served to [[Daniel and reality|worsen his delusions]] of fame and fortune. These managers would have him constantly perform degrading acts, and make him say embarrassing things on camera. The constant trolling resulted in Daniel having very high levels of paranoia, which would lead him to further spiral into lunacy. | In 2020, Daniel gained a sizeable following due to his unusual style of content, unorthodox appearance, and [[Incidents|erratic behavior]].

In one notable instance, Daniel was banned from TikTok for [[The May 6th Incident|exposing his genitals on a live stream]].

There has truly been no one like Daniel Larson. In short, Daniel's story is one that is not fated to have a happy ending, leaving his life as a tale of bad parenting, the effects of untreated mental illness, gullibility, narcissism, sexual deviancy, criminal activity, and, most importantly, the world watching a man deteriorate day by day. | There has truly been no one like Daniel Larson.

Much to everyone's surprise, Daniel was [[November 6th Arrest|arrested]] on November 6th, 2017, after an incident where he physically assaulted his paralyzed, wheelchair-bound [[Elisabeth Shimer|mother]]. Daniel claimed that this incident was a result of his mother cornering him following what was allegedly an argument, but when looking at his charges, this seems unlikely. Daniel was imprisoned for 44-45 days following the arrest. This incident forever ruined him and his mother's relationship, causing Elisabeth to cut all contact with her son. | ||

On May 31, Daniel was transferred to the Englewood Federal Correction Institution. On July 19, a psychiatric report was filed. In this report, it was revealed that Daniel would be being institutionalized following being found incompetent for trial once more, as well as an attempt for further evaluation. Daniel was transferred out of Englewood on December 10, 2024. He was in Oklahoma for over two weeks on his way to MCFP Springfield for his mental health evaluation and competency restoration on December 27. He had multiple evaluations and each time was declared incompetent to stand trial. He has returned to FCI Englewood on January 16, 2026. | ||
Daniel | However, on March 3, 2026, '''Daniel would finally be declared competent for trial.''' After 20 months of institutionalization and competency restoration efforts, Daniel was finally in a state where he was able to stand trial. Most notably, psychiatrist Dr. Katlyn Hanson indicated that Daniel's erratic behavior was a result of continuous self harm, resulting in a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Met with this information, Daniel, likely advised by his defense team to take a plea deal due to the strong case against him, took such on March 20, 2026. | ||
As part of said plea deal, six of the charges were dropped, and Daniel pleaded guilty to the remaining charge, which was related to him threatening Daniel MacDougall. Per the terms of the plea agreement, he is expected to serve a sentence of 27 to 33 months in prison, with credit for the 23 months he served prior to the hearing. It also includes a fine ranging from $10,000 to $95,000 and one to three years of supervised release, all subject to conditions. His ultimate sentencing will be done on July 21, 2026. While the ultimate details will only be decided then, general speculation can deduce that Daniel would serve anywhere from 4 to 10 months in prison from July 2026 onwards (meaning a release of November 2026 to June 2027), and a general supervised release period lasting anywhere from 2027 to 2030. His fine would likely be paid by his trust fund as-managed by Nancy Shimer's estate. Until then, Larstory is up in the air, and for the current conditions Daniel finds himself in, one can't help but feel that the story of Daniel Larson seems to be told for good. | |||
