As Las Vegas police continue to search for a motive behind the deadliest mass shooting in American history, details continue to surface about the past of the 64-year-old shooting suspect.

A spokesperson for the Office of Personnel Management told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Stephen Paddock worked as an agent for the Internal Revenue Service in its auditing department and was also a letter carrier for the U.S. Postal Service. The spokesperson said Paddock worked as a mailman for the USPS for two years from 1976-1978 and then worked for the IRS for six years until 1984. After that, he worked as a defense auditor, a job he held for about 18 months, the spokesperson said.

Somehow the liberal main stream media forgot to tell us that Stephen Paddock worked for the IRS?!?!

Post-Postal depression?

I had heard/read that before. He was after the money and thought that the IRS had alot of it. He couldn’t get much of it there though.

For him, it turns out that real estate appartments were the way to go.

Seeing as how there are a bunch of them, I agree.

Has anyone found any voting record on him yet?

[exnavy]

Have not heard about vote record.

A successful IRS defense auditor would have excellent experience with money laundering means and methods

I worked at the IRS way, way, way back. Every night I processed payments I did over 1 million dollars all by myself. It was data entry so fairly-boring; I’d keep a rough running total just for laughs. It was so cold I’d go to work with a sweater on in the middle of the summer.

You’d see checks or money orders for 1 cent or 2 cents. And then you’d see.....

s/b “I’d keep a rough running total in my head just for laughs”

They called him a “retired accountant” to try to make those in private accounting look bad.

Everything I have looked at until now hid that he had worked for the IRS.

[Unam Sanctam]

So the phrase”going postal “ literally applies to him.

Good point.

Yet another Postal shooter.

Newman: Because the mail never stops. It just keeps coming and coming and coming. There’s never a letup, it’s relentless. Every day it piles up more and more, and you gotta get it out, but the more you get out, the more keeps coming in! And then the bar code reader breaks! And then it’s Publisher’s Clearinghouse Day...!

he also worked for the defense contracting management agency as an auditor, for the DoD in other words.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Or the DMV.

[snarkytart]

yes a defense contractor as an accountant correct? Was he an IRS agent? A contractor vs government employee are two different things.

[Nifster]

He jumped jobs a lot

In July, 1976 Paddock landed a letter carrier position where he spent two years before moving on to the Internal Revenue Service as an Internal Revenue Agent. While it remains unclear in which division of the IRS Paddock worked, a spokesperson with OPM says he spent 6 years with the IRS before he ended up in the auditing department of the Defense Contract Audit Agency.
