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.

It seems otherwise to me. He may have jumped around within the federal government but he was always a federal government employee until he retired very early, presumably, from the department of defense defense contract management agency(sometime in the 80s?). unless he took a job after that that we don’t know about yet of course.
He worked as a government employee for an agency that monitors and handles military contracts. As an audit guy, he would go and ask questions of the military officials to ensure that everything in the contract was being delivered, on schedule.
I’ve worked around these folks (from both prospectives). It’s typically a pain because they are looking for tons of paperwork, and trying to find glitches in the system.
In 1976 he would have been around 23. My guess is he worked for the post office while working on his accounting degree, then applied to the IRS.
Good point.
Would rather be posting this theory to another thread as this idea I will offer here is pure conjecture, theory based on his reported travel areas Arizona, Texas, and Nevada, could he have been a human trafficker, or been involved in immigration somehow?
He made a large amount in Cali real estate at that time. He seems to have done more of that and then the gambling gig
Sure why not...or drug running. Every wild theory seems to get people going
most self made millionaires don’t go on to blow their brains out after committing a murder. I don’t think I can think of a single such example prior to this one in fact.
Looks like he beat Son of Sam’s record
I wonder if he trained Lois Lerner?
Most IRS employees vote democrat. They vote their own paycheck. I worked for the IRS in the 70’s and 80’s and I voted for Jimmah Carter—twice! Back then even government employees knew they got bigger raises from the democrats than the republicans. Thank God I wized up.
The source is questionable .
I served active duty under Carter, he cut our pay.
The dude cloned himself? What now? USPS, IRS agent, high roller video gambler, lived in 27 different locations, real estate mogul, can he shape change too? Maybe he was an alien from Mars?
Sometime in his sixties, George Eastman, founder of Kodak, killed himself and left a suicide note, “Why wait?”
Those were the job titles they used to pay him while he was doing god knows what for the military industrial and espionage complex. Jmho
I have looked at his brothers Facebook page and all his kids, son in law, and friends are typical I am “brilliant liberals” one of his brothers kids does that “furry” thing. They seem to like cryptic posts
Sounds like a job at Fed-Ex or UPS as a "package handler"
