So we are supposed to believe that twenty year old Thomas Crooks was self financed. Made all these trips to DC and other locations and planned all of this by himself.
I’d be more Inclined to believe that he received an envelope with a hefty sum of cash in it from a short heavy woman in a pantsuit with incredibly thick ankles. And that how he was able to finance his mission. He was meeting someone in DC close to the FBI building.
A good theory. PIAPS definitely has the capability.
