Although the username on the account was changed multiple times, it retained more than 136,000 followers.
But now the account, @Dotbizzle, is consigned to history; Twitter suspended it Wednesday. The company does not comment on individual accounts for privacy reasons.
The owner of the account never made clear that it was a parody of actor and comedian Bill Murray, which fooled some users into thinking they were reading tweets from the man himself.
Dotbizzle was also accused of stealing jokes from prominent comedians and asking Twitter followers for money. He was apparently somewhat successful in encouraging followers to part with their hard earned cash, having promised to follow anyone who donated.
However, Dotbizzle's attempts to boost the beer fund have come to a spluttering end.
Though the original incarnation of @bill__murray is no more, that handle has been resurrected by a tweeter with a similar philosophy as Dotbizzle's: "Creativity is great, but plagiarism is faster!"
