The murderous bastard was preparing for his eventual suicide.
Cheapo bastard!, only 100K for the girlfriend? Unless she intends to stay in the Philippines that’s not going to last for long.
I support and admire the first responders. I don’t mind if a person has a rifle for hunting or a gun for protection or both. But the 40 or more killing instruments this man had is beyond imagination. And apparently all legal. We need more protection from this kind of excessive weapons. If this is not the time to talk about that, when is it?
I can see the new Alex Jones/Cernovich/Posobiec theory forming right now: Marilou Danley was kidnapped by Muslim insurgents in the Philippines, and the $100K was to secure her freedom. When the Muslims realized they had a patsy on a string, they upped the ante and demanded he slaughter as many God-fearing country music fans as he could or they would kill her.
My theory is that he was paying off his bookie.
Just got even weirder.
And that didn’t warrant someone checking up on what he was doing? I that was the whole point of those flagged transactions. 200+

[/quote]Hey, I like it. Put a copyright on this idea and pitch it for a book deal. Better hurry, though, before they steal it.
Fuck-up. She was in Japan when they first contacted her. They should have had the Japanese authorities detain her. Fat chance getting her out of the Philippines.
When the GOP decides it is?
Except that she was in Japan at the time of the shooting.
No kidding. I tried to get 10K in cash to buy a car once and it was like pulling teeth.
Would actual location stop the WooWoo speculation? Hell to the no!
Toss some aspect of this being a false flag by the deep state to take away all our gunzzz and the WooWoos would be all over it.
Hell - I sold a house, deposited the money, had a cashier’s check drawn to pay for a new house and there was a 4 hour delay, “because we have to report the deposit and the withdrawal.”
Eh. That’s just the sign of a high-stakes gambler.
All of this is fine, but I’m much more interested in the ad that TPM is running — or is totally unaware it’s running, take your pick—at the bottom of the page:
"New Device Turns Any Handgun Into A Sniper Rifle
“U.S. Army Veteran Reveals His Secret To Turning Your Handgun Into…A SNIPER RIFLE!”
Paddock really missed an opportunity by not following up on this weaponry here—he could have doubled the body count.
That ABC story is worthless and incorrect. First, 200 financial transactions in three years? That works out to 5.6 transactions a month. BFD. We easily have that many a month. He was apparently a high roller and had rental properties. ABC doesn’t even tell you what kind of transactions or why they are suspicious.
Also, they say the girlfriend is returning to the U.S. tomorrow. Really? Kind of doubt that at this point.
That would make sense. But still - 200+, flagged, but no visit? Guess that is a Vegas thing - gots to keep the $$ flowing in with the high stakes gamblers.
He sure had a lot of money to blow through. Retired CPA?
