If you look at the website flightaware.com and search a tail number N5343M you will see that the number belongs to a SR 20 that at one time was registered to Stephen C. Paddock of Mesquite, TX and Henderson, NV. Our shooter.
You will see that it is currently registered to a company out of Roanoke, VA named Volant LLC. This company works with the "Defense/Intelligence" community per their website.

It gets better. The registration is listed as active, but the last flight for the aircraft was three years ago. They only show the flight when a flight plan is filed. Flight Aware then pulls their data directly from the FAA registration database, so it should be current.
Now the interesting part. If you go to faa.gov and put in the same tail number it'll tell you the number is inactive, and the last registration was a C152 (different plane) to some guy in San Diego. No mention of Paddock or Volant LLC.
Perhaps he just sold them the plane and that's the only connection?

John Rogers is the owner of Volant LLC. Wikipedia says he worked for Obama (John W. Rogers Jr.). Per Virginia Business records.

They ARE scandals.
My point is someone called me a ‘screw ball’ on this thread for even daring to question the official narrative.
After F&F and Benghazi we’ve seen ANYTHING is possible from Deep State.
Sorry if my point wasn’t clear.
This might be a ‘lone wolf’ or he might have been ‘radicalized’ or there might be others in on it.
They’ve found a lot of meaningless crap and sensationalized it.
Just like the MSM does.
One nit. Should be “last known or recorded flight”. During the 80’s - C-130’s went dark and logged massive flight hours.
I really don’t understand how people can believe stuff from a Nazi/racist site like 4chan. You can’t believe a thing that comes from there.
If only you knew how ridiculous what you just said is.
What part is ridiculous?
I have worked for the aerospace industry and the government for almost 20 years combined. I am nowhere near able to retire and can just afford my own mortgage plus the occasional dinner out.
People say this is a Nazi/ racist site as well.
There are crazy posters because it’s a public board. That’s also an easy way to discredit a legit convo.
I’ve seen liberal documentaries dismiss Breitbart based on the USER COMMENTS. Not the stories, but what people posted there on the public forum.
It’s actually on the list of Media Matters tactics to derail a thread - by posting Jewish conspiracy theories within it.
That site is finding things no one else has. 2 + 2 = 4, even if right wing, Nazis say it
Right.
So at what point did this guy go from job to job to multimillionaire WHILE gambling away tens of thousands - or more?
He owned planes worth $300,000. He wired $100,000 to his girlfriend. He spent $100,000 on weapons.
From where did the money flow to do all that?
Got it
The story about the dinner for 2 was first reported on /pol/ and it’s a lead story on Drudge and major news organizations.
We ARE the news.
You, me, the folks on the net. We are more likely to report the truth than the complicit MSM.
Look at the San Bernadino shooters. Lone wolf, not part of a bigger conspiracy. Neighbors said Muslims were coming and going from the house and turns out they were in communication with ISIS.
So you want to believe the MSM? Go ahead!
Now I know you’re nuts. 4chan is the sewer of the internet infested with wannabe Nazis and extreme racists. I’ve had dealings with people from there away from the internet and they are scum of the earth just like the site.
They can hide behind claims of “satire” and “Media Matters tactics” all they want, they are who they are, pure evil.
A lot of the “Nazis” that pop up online are Media Matters shills - just like those who pop up to dismiss anything that doesn’t follow the MSM.
Why would Media Matters act like Nazis?
To reduce the legitimacy of a discussion or thread. To reduce the credibility of the site and those who participate. To create a situation where the ‘normals’ stay away because they view it as ‘crazy screwball website.’
Look at this thread and the hostility JUST ASKING QUESTIONS has generated.
Speaks volumes.
Options. Inheritance? Single mom, dad in prison- probably not. Did he have another job? Running drugs? Black ops?
A pilot’s license in and of itself is a pretty expensive undertaking. And I know professional pilots who can’t afford their own planes.
The dinner for 2 story originated on /pol/.
I agree many - if not most - posts there are useless.
But nuggets are out there.
I’d like to know WHAT PURPOSE our purported shooter put his 3 planes to and if that purpose was how he made his millions.
He went from IRS agent to this job to that to multimillionaire traveling the planet.
Doing what exactly?
If you don’t have the least bit of curiosity — regardless of the cranks and nuts who may be asking the same question — then go visit the MSM threads that litter BREAKING NEWS section on this site.
I prefer to ask questions and seek answers. I’ve broken a dozen national stories in the last 10 years doing just that - and I’m just a Social Security collecting old fart in his underwear.
Agreed. I was just cannibalizing the old expression about the village idiot. 2+ 2 = 4 even if the village idiot says so. Your points are dead on; public board, some crazies, some media matters/Soros plants but in the end facts are undeniable and even Drudge agrees
Me, too. Lots of pilots can’t afford $300,000 for a plane - much less 3 planes.
I think black ops / drug running would be high on the list of possibilities. As you know, those frequently are the same thing.
That gets us to government contractors.
What was going on in the Vegas hotel room? A lone wolf nut planned attack or something else?
MGM was in the middle of a multi-billion dollar deal. Someone shorting the stock made hundreds of millions from the shooting. There’s one possible motive.
ISIS sale (Benghazi) gone wrong. The weapons found were just a taste of the bigger deal.
To whom did the $100,000 really go to in the Philippeans? Was that part of the arms deal? Drug deal? Or was he cashing out knowing he’d die?
All legit questions.
LOL... right
Enjoy your self-importance and fellow Nazis over on 4chan.
Drudge linked to Alex Jones this week.
FR won’t even allow his threads to be posted.
Alex Jones to me is another hit or miss, crazy theory but might have a grain of truth.
I like my First Amendment and enjoy exercising it.
Interesting some want to wait for some official mass media stamp of approval before they’ll believe anything other than the official story. Must be a certain personality type that can’t ask questions.
