The only thing I agree with is 766 posts in a week is extreme and is an indicator of bot-like activity.
I dunno - if you're a (purported) lawyer in NY, I could imagine 4-6am would be "getting up, gym, breakfast" and 1-3pm would be "lunch, gym, whatever". I'd be more suspicious about the lack of evening tweets, myself.

I would probably consider that quite suspicious, yeah.
Another indicator that's non-obvious is posting time distribution. Humans can't post 24h a day. But on the other hand if they're all in a 8h window, that person is posting from work - are these posts their job?
Eh lots of people have desk jobs with enough downtime to be posting throughout their work day while they are bored... then maybe they go home and are doing something else.
Although I agree it would be suspect if they never really posted outside that window.
Sure, but plenty of social accounts only focus on a few of them -- people like to segment themselves into spaces. I'm a real person with multiple interests (or am I?) but at the moment my personal blog only has technical articles on it.
Which, to be fair, a blog is not Twitter. But I could easily see myself or someone similar to me picking up a Twitter/Facebook account and saying, "I'm just going to use this space to complain about the government. I need a space to rant."
