Seems as if the IRS would have history of this guy and his financial past but yet many things are still cloudy about his past. Of course I don't expect law enforcement to come out with preliminary facts of how this guy made his money so I guess I'll bite my lower lip until they do.

Actually that's really not a bad theory. Certainly not any worse than anyone has been able to come up with so far. Almost like a real life "investor" in the hostel movies-- it would take a filthy rich demented psycho path to buy into a scheme that heinous and also the means to bring it to fruition.

The whole situation is baffling. It wouldn’t surprise me if it came out that he was secretly dealing arms or was facing jail time.

Lido missed the boat that day he left the shack
But that was all he missed
And he ain't comin' back

At a tombstone bar, in a juke joint car he made a stop
Just long enough to grab a handle off the top

Next stop Chi town, Lido put the money down, let 'em roll
He said one more job ought to get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it
One for the road

This is what I call the "Stephen King Novel theory". It goes like this---He was actually a decades long serial killer and this was his final act of spectacular criminal psychopathy. It's not that he " suddenly" snapped, it's that he snapped decades ago and was just a master criminal. All those unsolved murders ( whichever cluster you want to choose) - yeah- that was him.

I guess anything is possible.

I'm sure it's already been mentioned somewhere but a 'paddock' is an enclosure for animals. Kinda appropriate name.

Remember that he's an accountant by trade. Could have been the mastermind behind some sort of money laundering criminal enterprise, maybe even a solo endeavor. He was very private. Nobody seems to know anything much of anything about him.

It's also weird that nobody has stepped forward to say " I told you so" . No bad business dealings? No pissed off partner? Nobody he got rude with or threatened? No outward signs of his criminal psychopathy in 64 years ?

An intelligent psychopath could be capable of operating in the shadows. He's wasnt a street corner drug dealer. We're talking white collar crime, maybe some serial killer-ish tendencies too

Was he a large Clinton Foundation donor too? That would explain a lot.

Better theory, Paddock was an FBI or CIA operative in the shadows. Explains his access to so much weaponry. He made large amounts of money with no listed job. The big question would be whether he went rogue here, or if he was under command

Yeah,you know this is the problem,we can never see it coming,any human being with a gun,is a likely mass murderer. Only the government employees should have guns,because they are all totally sane and not control freaks.

Does this come across as sarcastic? I hope so.

He bought weapons from gun stores. Already confirmed.

Just as a meaningless aside - I had some kind of intuitive hunch when I saw his picture. My brain for whatever random reason thought of that cell phone pic of The Delphi Indiana murders suspect, not because I think it's him but because it was just an intuitive connection my brain made to his criminal psychopathy. In other words the intuitive connection our brain makes to ask if he's that " kind" of guy.

With all the guns/ammo/evidence they found in his house I don't think it was a coincidence the girlfriend was out of the country

She might be the key to all this if she's cooperative
