A man with seemingly no former bad episodes snaps all of a sudden?
We do not know all of the mass killer’s past history, so we do not know what you are taking for granted. For all we know the mass killer was a uncaught serial killer.
Lack of evidence is not evidence of a lack of reality.
Quite a few mass killers do not have previous violent episodes.
We hate chaos because it means lack of control and order. Conspiracy theories provide an overlay of order over otherwise chaotic events.

Yes, it is a coping mechanism of sorts.
I use Occam’s razor to winnow out the theories.

While that’s great and valid, it’s still an oversimplification. The hypotheses must fit all of the verifiable data involved with the case.
And I am saying this as a skeptic.
And add to it the revolving door between the LVMPD and casino security, where police brass take VERY lucrative jobs with the casinos upon retirement. Sheriff Lombardo, for example, has a big financial stake in protecting the casinos as much as he can, (changing and blurring the timeline, etc), if he wants to get that million-dollar head of security gig with one of the casinos after he retires.

Watch out. Some on here will call you crazy for bringing that up.
Yep. LVPD and the hotels have a very close relationship.
He was travelling back and forth between his home in Mesquite and Vegas. On that Thursday (?), he signed into the senior center for lunch and asked the cook for her enchilada recipe. Easy enough to load more weapons into the car and take in all or a few at a time straight through the middle of the Mandalay lobby and wave at security with no one the wiser.
Here’s a question, no a conspiracy. Has the sheriff given any pressers after that one where he was obviously beside himself?
His vehicle being on the other side of the hotel is another reason why “the plan” wasn’t set to be acted upon during the concert.
Mateen also went into hiding at an undisclosed clinic.
We all know,if a bettor can make 5 million dollars in a year playing video poker, that that casino will get rid of that game immediately. They are in it to make money.
55 years later, president Trump is releasing secret material about the Kennedy assassination.
Someone tell me how that engenders trust and warm feelings toward government.
Laundering money in a casino means the casino ends up with the money or the casino falsifies wins on a viseo game.
Either way the casino is part of the operation.
No it doesn’t.
It works like this.
The gambler places many millions of dollars of bets.
He wins five million dollars.
He loses five and a half million dollars. He walks out with five million, the casino keeps five and a half million.
The money has been laundered and the casino makes a net profit of half a million.
In video poker, the casino percentage is about 2 percent, so the casino profit would only be about $100,000 on five million in transactions.
That would work. What’s max bet on 1 video poker round.
Assuming that he is laundering someone else’s money, are those people really willing to lose a half million dollars to launder five and a half million dollars?
He might easily be laundering money he received from sources he does not want known.
Could be as simple as a real estate for cash deal.
He does not need to launder all the money he uses, just enough to pass IRS smell tests.
That’s a lot of cash. Anything digital can be traced.
You are correct.
Doesn’t the irs monitor casono cash...you’d think they would. They monitor my gasoline log book.
They are required to report cash transactions of over 10,000.
They are not required to report in they are wins or losses.
On income tax, you are only required to report wins.
You may, or may not, report losses.
