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.
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.
