"i just cant see how everyone could be in on it"

Everybody wouldn't have to be. Just two or three key people, who could intimidate three or four more.

It used to be common practice that when a clergyman committed suicide, a finding of "accidental death" was always turned in, because a suicide can't be buried in consecrated ground, and because of the scandal.

Same sort of thing. Or could be. I just don't know.

I have to say, though, the whole thing stinks.

One of those times I wish I were really filthy rich.

That is no longer true.
