Kinda like the FBI blaming it on the security guard at the Olympic bombing even though you know it isnt him.
Actually, it was NBC news that blamed the unibubba, but iirc he never collected on suing their asses into the mud because he filed too late. Richard Jewel. He died of cancer soon afterwards.
The FBI suspected him because of the prevalence of the volunteer fireman-arsonists syndrome, where a first responder causes the problem he’s supposed to fix. Jewel became a hero, briefly, and was the only one who apparently benefited, but in fact he was just doing his job, and by doing it correctly he saved lives. I am sure that when he told people to clear out many thought he was being an alarmist and a pain in the rear end.
