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.
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.
If you're going to commit a "They'll talk about me forever" act wouldn't he just have 2-3 ARs and multiple loaded mags?
Maybe these were for the local gangster trade.
He reportedly was a real estate investor and had several rental units. That is how he apparently made his money.
