I hate stuff like this. The redditrati will now be convinced this was obviously an assassination and there's no chance it's actually a suicide. I've already seen comments claiming it was obviously the Israelis and other saying it was obviously some billionaire or another. The lack of any evidence supporting this is just more proof how devious "they" are.

I gotta say, anyone assassinating this guy nearly a year after he testified to Congress and six years after he gave evidence to the FBI really has a bad sense of timing.

Stupid conspiracy theories like this are what people like Alex Jones make their living off of.

It absolutely could just be that he killed himself. It is more likely than an assassination.

But let's not pretend that there's no reason to not assassinate someone after they've already done damage. The best time to remove someone is before they tell on you. The second best time is after they tell on you as revenge and/or a warning to others. It's not like there isn't a long, storied history of exactly that going on through human history, after all.

I bet you also believe all those Russian oligarchs really fell out of windows or off balconies by accident
