People have been asking since day 1 how on earth Stephen Paddock made his money. The "Professional Gambling" explanation obviously makes no sense. Guess we know the real answer now?
Page 7, in the Search Warrant, seems like the smoking gun. Why hasn't the FBI or Las Vegas Police Department mentioned this? It describes an email exchange that could be read as Paddock selling arms to someone. It could also be read as him telling a buddy that there's a lot of firing ranges in Las Vegas with automatic weapons and/or bump stocks to try. The FBI seems to think the exchange was related to the attack, but they don't say why.
Later that day, an email was received back from centralpark4804@gmail.com to Target Account 1 that read, "we have a wide variety of optics and ammunition to try." And lastly, Target Account 1 later sent an email to centralpark4804@gmail.com that read, "for a thrill try out bumpfire ar's with a 100 round magazine"
"Target Account 1" is an email address associated with Paddock. Another thing that sticks out is the use of the word “we” in the emails talking about having a huge selection. If he was an arms dealer, then the use of the word “we” could possibly indicate that he didn't act alone during the shooting.
How is this guy gambling millions and then dealing millions in arms not on any radar.Baloney
Who says he wasn’t on anyone’s radar?
Everything about this shooting incident is fishy. Why was it wiped from the news cycle so quickly?
Gun running.
‘Cause FBI Deep State operations don’t come cheap.
An illegal arms dealer wouldnt be selling actual selective fire weapons?
State your evidence.
I totally agree,but I don’t buy the arms dealing.This guy was a cipher.
C riminals
I n
A ction?
I knew this guy was an arms dealer on day 1, Saudis involved, and the official story was BS.
Could well be. What would be the motivation for the event?
Bingo (but it’s actually Clowns in America) One of the alphabets is responsible here, take it to the bank.
One question: all the talk of multiple shooters. Any good audio tech should be able to take a sound file of the tragic event, slow it down and see if there are any “coincident firings”, that is rounds going off within the interval of the bump stock firing.
Also, the rapid disappearance of this event from the news cycle without a conclusive news statement on the evidence, was just bizarre.
What a bunch of cr@p.
FBI
The “professional gambler” line, was probably someone’s idea of a joke, playing off of Walter White’s supposed source of income.
Of course he was an arms dealer. He was running an FBI sting operation to either ISIS or the Saudis.
Not that Paddock was a dealer, but it was a lesson.....If I can do this all alone, imagine what damage is being wrought by the guns released to runners by the US Government via Fast & Furious. (Perhaps just one of his guns is a connect to F&F)
Remember, the government got off without even a slap on the wrist.
Now for the background I gathered and my thoughts.
As a young boy, Stephen Paddock lived in Tuscon Arizona. I'd say most of us check into the news of a Town of our youth occasionally.
October 1, 2015 Tuscon Arizona made the news...big time.
Two gun runners, using weapons acquired through the F&F scheme, were convicted of the murder of Brian Terry, a border agent. It was big news...huge.
On or about October 2016, Paddock began to acquire the majority of his weapons in a rather short period of time.
Oct 1, 2017,, Stephen Paddock, unloaded his weapons into a crowd of concert goers from a window in an upper floor of the Mandalay Hotel in Las Vegas.
A couple more comments...IIRC, Paddock said he needed a particular room in a different hotel because it was for his anniversary. But it was booked. Of course, I'm connecting the word anniversary. I'm not sure they really know the dates and room requested.
I'm inclined to think his girlfriend is/was connected to a gun runner. What women helps to load ammo? And she went with him to gun shops, too.
So for me....all roads lead back to Fast & Furious and it drove Paddock insane seeing the government getting away with it.
I think we should go back to F&F and heads should roll.
