8 – Michael Josef Basl,
Michael Josef Basl is an internet troll who wreaked havoc on the Moreno family, turning their offline lives into a living nightmare.
It started in 2012 when William Moreno received a threatening email from someone calling themself ‘Eesh’. Eesh claimed William would be expelled from his university because of some inappropriate comments William had made online.
Following this, William’s family home was broken into and flooded, and, in 2014, William’s parents received an ominous police phone call at two am, telling them to come outside without their son. They did so and armed officers tackled William.
Eesh had given police a false tip-off, causing a SWAT team to respond. Posing as William, he claimed to have shot his parents and was now targeting his sister.
Distressed, William attempted to take his own life by slashing his wrists. He survived, but further forum messages linked him to crimes like the molestation of his sister, the construction of pipe bombs, and the rape of a fellow student. Rumours that he was a paedophile also spread.
In 2015, the Morenos exposed Eesh as thirty-four-year-old military veteran Michael Josef Basl and sued him. However, Basl denied most of the accusations and only admitted to writing the initial email.
