Twitter is captivated by a GOP operative's raging tweetstorm about a mystery 'con artist'

For the past day, political Twitter has been captivated by a mystery involving an unnamed, alleged scam artist who a prominent GOP operative claims has been preying on Florida's conservative scene. 

Republican consultant Rick Wilson launched the widespread guessing-game Wednesday evening when he went on a tweetstorm raging against the unidentified scammer. 

Wilson, well known for his colorful tweets and commentary, fired off tweet after tweet threatening the mysterious person unless she admitted to her misdeeds and compensated her victims. Wilson said the unnamed person has an arrest record. He claimed had her mugshot and a secret Twitter account and could easily expose her to the world.

"What this person underestimated is our absolutely unlimited capacity for vengeance," he said at one point. "I put people in the dirt for an awful lot less. ... I have time, resources, intelligence, and an infinite supply of spite."

Wilson has promised to eventually reveal the identity of this alleged scam artist. In a conversation on Thursday Wilson told Business Insider his "big reveal" is "coming when one more item falls into place."
