“Monopoly money found in backpack believed to belong to suspect in murder of CEO.”

That’s 1st class trolling!

    So they have new photos of him, and they are looking for all surveillance in the 10 days he was in New York, and they have him loitering in the area 5 minutes prior to Thompson’s arrival at the investor conference he was attending. They have a cellphone he left. They’re trying to get the bike.

    They fucking lost him and they’re scrambling.

    This is exciting. Heck I don’t know what I’m more excited about - the potential for The Adjuster to get away, the message Thompson received, the collective panic amongst the elite, or the investigation work telling us how desperate they are trying.

        Yeah, that’s the part I’m not excited about. They’ve narrowed who they are looking for far too much for it to be pinned on just anyone.

        So you can guarantee whoever they do pin it on will “resist law enforcement” and be unable to plead their innocence in court.

      Seriously. Why the fuck else would your “top investigators” release these kind of details of an ongoing investigation when the normal comment is “we don’t discuss active investigations”?

      1. They have no good leads and are hoping for more tips from the public (lol good luck with that $60k snitch line bounty you stiff people on).
      2. They hope to rattle this purported individual to do something stupid like grant a media interview or send an email/letter
      3. They are throwing a massive digital dragnet around this and are hoping this purported individual is manically F5’ing any and all stories for counterintelligence of their case.

    Are they going to give him this when they find him?

    Because he might have one of these and then they’ll be out of luck.

    This just shows you the level of surveillance that the government has access to. They don’t need to add cameras (well…) as they have access to everyone else’s via “request.”

        Seems like that dude is just leaving crumbs for them to find, giving him more time to get away.

        Good planning makes for an enjoyable trip.

        lol

        You know, they never mentioned how much monopoly money it was.

        It makes me wonder if they thought to count it. There’s more statements to be made, especially if there was a phone there.

        CSI: Elite

        “We found that test audiences repeatedly stopped caring after the opening murder scene played. In fact, some of them really seemed to be engaged, and possibly even posed to give positive responses, but unanimously became negative responses when they learned more of the victims back story.”

          I would find it very satisfying if the amount of monopoly money was equivalent to something like the CEOs bonus pay or salary from the company.

      You know, Putin’s methods are the same as the US’s when it comes to overthrowing elected governments, right?

      Apply leverage to an existing weak point.

      Try to make it undistinguishable from a legitimate reason.

      The problem, of course, is that none of this requires a Putin or a CIA to explain it. The actions of the health care industry is perfectly sufficient.
