Ancient history. Paddock hadn't worked as an auditor since the late 80s.
Well I don’t think we know much at all about what he has done since that one job in the ‘80s. There are references to him owning buildings and assertions about his gambling, but there has been very little solid info about his life and detailed activities. Granted, if he had been in long-term jobs after that auditor job in the 1980s we’d **probably** have heard about it by now, but I don’t think we really know too much that is totally solid about this guy’s life, work, money, and activities.
We don’t really know if he is wealthy or broke, if his gambling kept him going or if he was crashing and burning into financial disaster. I doubt that we will suddenly find out he has worked as a corporate accountant for 1989-2009, but at the moment there is not much solid info.
With the references to owning two planes and having a pilot’s license I have to wonder (highly speculative) if he did anything with drugs or money laundering, criminal world etc. Especially since he seems to have had no one or a few addresses for very long periods of time. He’s been all over the place, without any obvious “career” reason for the moves. I have no idea, just something that should be looked at very closely as investigators track where he made and spent money, how he has spent his time over the years, especially the recent months and years.
