"In my opinion, he is guilty of it all, possibly even distributing ( although not for profit )."
I'm with you on everything but this. I think that he was hoarding while he had a source, knowing that he was lucky to have what he did. But to distribute he'd have left himself open to blackmail and humiliation. It just doesn't seem worth anything.

"But to distribute he'd have left himself open to blackmail and humiliation. It just doesn't seem worth anything."

Obviously I don't mean he stood on a corner in a long coat whispering to passersby,
but if this were more widely known then we think, he might have had a few people in the entertainment biz that talked him out of some...

Those statements by the network spokesperson seemed really odd, like they were not surprised by any of this.
Except for those exceptions, we are not seeing interviews with anyone who knows him.

You might expect a few, "I've worked with him for 10 years and I never even knew he was taking prescription drugs..." or " Rush ? Illegal drugs ? Hogwash !" from people close to him, but everyone seems to be clammed up.

Even his current doctors could simply issue statements that say they knew about each other, and the amounts he was taking - it's not like it's a secret anymore...He could ask them to do it.
