The more structure, the more weak points ... smaller the conspiracy the better, a conspiracy of one is perfect, leaves the individual all the options ... there was considerable diddling with the bags in this case, so others had to be brought in, sure, but they were all filipinos, as was deG ... 'naively questioning subalterns' would be told to bugger off and mind their own business, were i running a conspiracy, just cite security issues/workload and baffle them with bullshit, no problem ... things look like getting a little tight, just burn the core shack [which was done] ... there didn't seem to be much for 'ever-fulminating doubts', at least from anybody with a vested interest to voice them, no one else mattered
What was the nature of their exit plan, is what i always wondered ... obviously the scam would come to light at some point, and with Freeport drilling that was obviously the time, de Guzman was a bright boy and could figure that out ... so whether he chose to commit suicide or had a plan to fake it would come down to personality and belief structure - raised in a heavily religious peasant culture it is possible he was fatalistic about it enough to call it a day and off himself ... we haven't heard from him [yet], maybe he did ... the other filipinos just melted away, and Felderhof was real careful about what legal jurisdictions he entered for a while |
