I don't think either mistake was intentional.
I just watched the video of the bond hearing. Wow. I do think Winters believed that post was real.
That was almost sad. Winters explains how they confirmed the identity of "SoL" via pictures and posts etc... He never even hints that the identity was confirmed by computer forensic experts, maybe some of the original posts were confirmed but apparently once the name "SoL" was identified they thought that meant it was all real.
Unless they have some really really good evidence that they are keeping a big secret Winters will likely pay for this mistake forever.
I also don't think this was an intentional lie or fraud -- or perhaps more accurately, if it was, he covered his butt well enough.
I did notice that he sort of catches himself in one spot, right before he begins reading the post. He starts off saying, "This is what one of his posts states", and then he stops himself and adds, "This is from the moniker, 'SoL'". That is a possible acknowledgment that SoL does not necessarily equal McD.
