Triangular Trade:
In the Caribbean, ships loaded up with sugar and molasses and took it to Europe for distillation into rum. There, they loaded up on manufactured goods like guns, nails and shackles and headed to Africa, where they picked up slaves. Loaded up in Africa they returned to the labor-hungry new world with the slaves, a synergistic international route:
Were Paddock brothers pulling off something similar..?
Brother Steve had plenty of money but the sources remained opaque; was he really a gambler who proved successful over the very long-term..? It's technically possible but dubious.
Today Bruce Paddock was busted today on child porn and child exploitation charges.
Was Steven exporting American gun to muzzie fighters in the Phillipines, then importing terrified poor brown Phillipino kids to LA/LV pedo pervs..?
Yeah, there's ZERO proof, little evidence. Yeah, yeah, okay, I'm an Art Bell-calling whacko Bigfoot Researcher, enough, I get it.
Whaddya think, maybe Abu Sayyef was paying for their gear with KIDS..?
How much would you wager that brother Bruce's digital stash includes a disproportionate share of Phillipino kid shots..?
Or that the kid he was abusing was maybe not completely pasty..?
Maybe the LA-LV market for fresh kids is one lucrative enough to buy some houses and a couple of airplanes..??
His single-line tweet hardly qualifies as an exhaustive report, yeah, ok.
But still --whaddya think...?
As one person said, if he was a gun runner, he wouldn’t have bought semi automatics retail. And casinos ban gamblers who are consistent big winners. But I do find it odd that his computer hard drive is missing and prostituting children would explain his money.
Sh*t River?
Sickening...but this makes more sense than him making his millions by gambling.
BTW...where is the GF? If this is even a little bit true then she is a part of it.
And his need for money laundering.
They said casino footage sometimes showed Paddock and his GF gambling for extended periods but NEVER drinking:
Maybe she’s a Muslim and had contacts with child-related services in the P.I.
Maybe it’s sorta like Terry Nichols, and his contacts in the Phillipines, through his wife.
Occam’s razor: he tossed the hard drive before he started shooting to make it impossible to learn anything from his computer. He was tech-savvy and clearly wanted to leave no clue as to motive.

According to those who knew the douche bag brother, after the shooting he bragged about what his brother did and said “Yeah that’s my brother Im glad those people are dead” gee what a family tree
“BTW...where is the GF? “
She’s currently in the US AND BARRED from leaving the US.
Scenario:
Brother Bruce - Southwestern porn distributor
Abu Sayyef - Gun buyer, Little khuffar kid abductors
Girlfriend - Phillipines coordinator, customer relations
Brother Steve - Gun getter, exporter
I’ve mulled over that theory. Bring in a bag of cash to the casino, feed the big money slots for several hours and cash out with 70-80% of what he walked in with in “winnings”.
Technically IMPOSSIBLE to beat Vegas machines over the long term.
Highly doubtful IMO. There are a lot easier and cheaper ways for overseas groups to acquire arms.
My guess is that what we've got here is long-time money laundering for cartels by Paddock and perhaps radical Islamic infiltration of parts of the Mexican cartels which may have turned Paddock.
To prostitute:
“I was BORN BAD”
(Dads life) + (selling guns & kids) = that self-image..?
Doesn’t need to win if his aim is to launder illegal money.
I thought the Kardashians were Gun Grabbers. Who knew?
Casinos are a classic means of money laundering. Nothing about his gambling makes more sense than that he’s using it to launder money. You don’t gamble for income...that’s a losers proposition, you don’t get billion dollar casinos built one after the other by them losing money. So while it wasn’t for income, it was also more than recreational.
Thus, the obvious and simplest explanation is that he was using it to do what those operating outside the law have done with casinos for as long as they’ve existed: money laundering. The casino gets their take and you get clean money.
