I think we are all moving in the same direction :-)
If it was a hit, they did a lousy job. He may have even played dead.
Why no police?? He knew one of the perps and he was carrying???
My best guess right now is that he was killed with his own gun...and it wasn't suicide.
On the other hand, I'm almost inclined to think it was Marini's thugs and "who John was" takes the focus off of Marini.
Thanks for your excellent post of the Lt. General McInerney interview. We can only hope that the silence is for ultimate good purposes and not a cover-up. The interview also affirms his high-level security clearances, which throw completely into question the campaign by the MSM to make him seem a mental case.
Just saw the big 100+ mob arrests. Wonder if Jack had anything to do with that. Could it be the reason they have kept all the information quiet? We need to check the names of those arrested with names connected to him.
One more thing to consider: Maybe we are looking at 2 crimes?
Crime #1: related to his professional interests.
Crime #2: a crime of opportunity ending with the perp dumping his body in a trash bin.
Stranger things have happened.
Whee is the mob arrest post - thx I’m limited here today
Arrests made in NY, NJ, and RI....Isn’t Delaware right in the middle of those states? Why no arrests there? Is the Wheeler murder somehow a reason for the delay....Still working wiretaps?
Bump to save my spot.
I don’t know, but there’s at least one writer who’s trying to weave Wheeler into the mob bust...

Radell Hunter is the writer who has done alot of the Wheeler stuff in the Washington Examiner.

I am not up to date with my mobster history, are they heavily involved in Wall Street? I am wondering if the roots of any of these arrests go back to Wheeler’s days at the SEC and his involvement in the insider trading investigations.
Radell is a great writer.
There were several entries under his name that deciphering completely eluded me. Only thing recognizable was on line betting and motor cross. Someone with more knowledge that I may want to check it out.
“At a time when most of us are retired, he’s not only employed, he’s overemployed - and all in the service of his country,” said Thornblom, who with other classmates, still close to Wheeler, expressed puzzlement and regret over the mystery of Wheeler’s death.
He said Wheeler’s work on issues ranging from cybersecurity to military tactics was fueling conspiracy theorists, and he suggested that investigators’ reluctance to release their findings could make the case more difficult.

“This is really off the charts for someone like Jack,” Loftin said. “There are few people who would stun us like that, especially the way in which he died. He was a fabulous man, someone who was always watching your back in whatever you were doing.”

Good call!
As usual, the DailyMail is way ahead of our media on hot crime stories. I did not see any clues in this story, but someone else may recognize a connection:
None of the family members within the families have the same last name.
... most feared families, union officials and two former police officers were also arrested...
In some families a requirement for membership is member must have committed a murder.
The DeCavalcante crime family is the leading mafia clan in New Jersey despite operating in New York City.
It maintain a strong relationship with many of the Five Families in New York plus crime families in Philadelphia, Providence and most of New England.
They have profited from labor racketeering, hijacking and murder for hire.
