Why don’t people ask the obvious?
- Supposedly gambles up to 1 million a year.
- Pays for everything in cash...including his HOUSES.
- Travels the world when he wants.
- Spoke to only a very select few about nothing for years.
- Very low profile.
- His brother said he made the whole family rich and 100K is nothing.
- Paddock only worked government jobs.
- sorry but based on all the comps the guy got...the casino’s were making money on him not losing. He did not get rich gambling.
My giuess is the gambling was to launder money (common)...but on,y a guess.
- Oh ya, real estate (which is the best way to become rich...but not easy as a gov employee who like to gamble).
You say: He joined ISIS (rumor is 6 months ago...ya that is clearly the most logical explanation...not for a second).
If it was ISIS, he would leave info everywhere AND they would say so immediately.
Weird how they were so quick to say it was only one gunman. Like within minutes.
My guess (and only a guess..but makes more sense) he was working for an intelligence agency and something went very wrong (i.e. gun running or who knows what...).
But logically he has all the attributes of someone in that line of work: Unlimited cash, no history to look up, owns planes / one of which appears to be owned by a private contractor now ...that does work for intelligence agencies).
Logically I would say that is a better bet than ISIS.
For those that think he did not get rich from gambling: IRS said he claimed $5 million on 1099 gambling earnings for 2015.
I agree on the money-laundering angle. He had no social media connection. No one has even noted that he was registered to vote. He was casting the lowest possible shadow possible. It’s all the way of a professional connected to the mafia. The need for that period of owning two planes? Some type of courier for someone.
AND they would say so immediately.
They did claim credit. How immediately I'm not sure, but then, it would take time for them to get news of their success.
