"Hot/cold streak has been confirmed as NOT being a valid power in this game. Someone is misleading us."

Interesting. The wording of this and the Anduril message makes it seem like 'not naming any players' is probably a requirement of the ability. Trying to think of an explanation for a player being right about Stazzy's ability but wrong in telling Anduril that he's barking up the wrong tree about Timbo. Some sort of role-cop ability could discover that Stazzy's not 'hot and cold'. They might have investigated Timbo as being a 'bus driver', and then read that bus driver typically a 'town' ability.

If the message is from a player, then they should step up tomorrow and say what they know, as Stazzy is likely to be one of the next suspects. Alternately, if a confirmed player is killed tonight who has a role that seems consistent with this, then I think that's moderate reason to believe it. If no evidence of where this message has come from has surfaced by tomorrow, then I think it's safe to assume it's mafia misdirection, and that Stazzy is not mafia (unless it's double misdirection (seeding a suspicion that will later be disproved), but given that Stazzy couldn't be sure you'd go public with it, double-misdirection would be really risky).
I think the Hot-and-Cold streak ability seems just to unusual for Stazzy to make up (although making up the roleblocker part to hide another ability is possible).
