“Where did the Las Vegas Mass Murderer’s Money Come From?”

Like Hillary, he read the Wall Street Journal and learned how to turn small investments in futures trading into big returns.

You can’t buy real estate with actual cash. Red flag city.


Sure you can. I am not saying he did not go through a bank.

But find a seller, give them cash, and they can sign over the real estate to you.

Or, have an LLC hold the real estate, and sell the LLC for cash.

In “normal” transactions, people go through a bank for real estate transactions.

But every transaction does not have to be “normal”.

I don’t recall seeing that he was ever married (or divorced!), or ever had children.


Married twice, divorced twice, no children that we know of.

He worked at the IRS for a short period. I have not seen any mention of regular employment after the 1980’s.

I am surprised we haven’t been treated to interviews with the ex-wives by now.

The last one was at least 20 years ago.

In my experience, when someone ‘pays cash’ for a large purchase, dollar bills aren’t actually exchanged. Most times it’s a bank transfer of some sort. Or a check.

We paid ‘cash’ for an RV we bought back in 2007. I wrote a check for $104,000.

Cash just normally means it wasn’t financed in any way.

Yes, you are correct. Cash is still used, but it is getting harder and harder to use the actual notes.

But there are “off the books” enterprises that deal mostly in cash.

Maybe more are going to bitcoin, now.

Maybe he got a government grant to study the sex lives of grasshoppers.

Weapons dealer and all the associated vices such as drugs
Why did he need TWO airplanes?
Lots of money to be made in arms dealing
Ask former California Senator Leland Yee
Who was trafficking for radical muslims in the Philippines
Maybe like Pollack\Paddock
Using that resort - which is muslim owned- to launder money

Maybe, but there would be a long paper trail with that.

Nearly all weapons dealing, on large scales, is sanctioned by one government or another.

Asking why he needed TWO airplanes is like asking why he needed TWO cars.

Leland Yee got caught.

Maybe there are large “weapons dealers” that are not sanctioned by governments out there.

But from what I have learned, the freelance types are way down on the list of dealers, mostly small scale stuff.

Much too easy to make money on drugs if you are a talented smuggler.

The movies and leftwing propaganda have blown “weapons dealer” way out beyond reality.

Smuggler, airplanes and casino’s. Perfect match.

Probably a hit man. I bet this loser had murdered before.

Maybe Daddy left him a map to loot from an old unsolved bank robbery.

I have not heard what his current airplanes are. He did own a Cirrus SR20 but sold it in 2007. 5 seater.
Did he own a work plane and a fun plane?
