2023

2023 was the 3rd year since Daniel's discovery. It is also the 2nd year of him being homeless.

The year kicked off right after Daniel had a violent meltdown in Bob's car, where he assaulted him and repeatedly claimed that the motel had threatened to kill him. 2023 began with the Travel Arc, where Daniel traveled across the U.S., contracted scabies, met World of T-Shirts, and got into a confrontation at a bodega. Upon returning to Colorado, he got into an altercation at Häagen-Dazs, set up a Cameo page, adopted a dog, had a huge meltdown over a fake Grace making threats, fought with Bob again, and began "attending" UC Boulder. Things quickly escalated as Daniel’s behavior became more erratic, causing chaos in several public places, from having a massive public meltdown at Panera Bread, pulling the fire alarm at an Olive Garden, and smashing a sign at the Golden Hotel after being kicked out. The year ended with a meltdown on Christmas Day and being chased by a drone.

Daniel began the month using Cameo to scam users with low-effort and nonsensical videos. He also promoted a so-called “Hollywood Sex Party" involving multiple celebrities and was ultimately kicked out of and banned from the Colorado Mills Mall. His Cameo account was banned shortly after, and his threats became more extreme and frequent. Toward the end of the month, a video of Daniel using a fleshlight leaked, and the next day he had a huge meltdown over a fake Grace account making threats toward him. Less than two days later, he got into a physical altercation with Bob inside his car, ending in another meltdown where Daniel claimed that Bob had run him over.

September

This month began with Daniel exhibiting heightened paranoia, particularly around Grace VanderWaal and various conspiracy-like beliefs. Midway through the month, he claimed to be enrolling at UC Boulder and created a fake student ID. He spent roughly a week on campus socializing with fraternity students, even attending a Phi Kappa Tau party. The College Arc came to a chaotic end when Daniel, convinced that Deion Sanders would appear at a football game on Folsom Field, struck a security guard and was arrested for third-degree assault. After spending a few days in jail, he was released. He also created a new Pinterest account which, like his previous one, was filled with pedophilic images. The month concluded with Daniel making multiple bomb threats and attending a local festival where he was seen recording children.

October

Not much happened this month. Daniel was arrested once for failure to appear, and near the end of the month had his haircut by trolls known as the Reverse Mohawk. He also appeared in court while sporting the reverse mohawk.

November

This month, Daniel sported the Reverse Mohawk haircut he had received the month prior. He turned 25 this month, attended several court appearances connected to earlier incidents and made multiple visits to the hospital. He was kicked out of many establishments from trolls. Notably, he had a huge meltdown in a Panera Bread, where he flipped a table, hit himself until he bled, and screamed at the top of his lungs and making a scene. By the end of the month, he was sentenced to one year of probation and 48 hours of community service for his September arrest at Folsom Field.

December

Main Article: December 2023

December was one of the most chaotic and unhinged months of Daniel’s life, marked by a rapid spiral in behavior and an escalation in public disturbances. His reverse mohawk haircut notably grew out. Daniel repeatedly attempted bizarre and delusional meetings with the VanderWaal family, including showing up at an Olive Garden expecting dinner with celebrities, where he attempted a citizen’s arrest on the entire staff and pulled the fire alarm. He was kicked out of an Old Chicago, harassed an IHOP waitress to the point of preventing her from going home, and smashed a glass sign during a disruptive scene at the Golden Hotel. On Christmas Day, he had a public meltdown on TikTok, threatened Secret Service agent Daniel MacDougall, and ended up hospitalized. The month (and year) concluded with Daniel being stalked by a drone.
