Vegas shooter wired $100,000 to the Philippines

[HAB911]

From CNN's Jessica Schneider

A law enforcement official confirms that Stephen Paddock wired $100,000 to the Philippines. However, officials aren’t yet able to see when he sent the money. They also don’t know the recipient. The FBI is working with authorities in the Philippines to determine additional details.

Also, the official reiterated there are still no ties that they’ve seen to international terrorism.

NBC first reported the $100,000 transfer.

1. Wasn't That Where His Girlfriend Was?.....

If she lived with him - didn't she see the cache of weapons he was amassing? Why haven't we heard more about her?

[HipChick]

3. Nope...she was in Japan

She might have family there though

[mainer]

4. The police spokesperson said they reached her in Japan

I heard she's an Australian citizen, of Filipino origin.

[Madam45for2923]

2. WTH? Seems important.

[brush]

42. She probably left his terrorist ass and he was trying woo her back.

[melman]

48. By sending her 100 grand?

How would that make her come back? If anything it would help her stay away.

[brush]

49. Maybe. There's a post where Starbucks workers say he constantly chastized her with verbal abuse.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

5. Rut roh something stinks

There is a big why?

[anneboleyn]

6. The girlfriend has family in the Philippines and she is Phillipino. I don't think it's mysterious.

[B2G]

8. That's a lot of money to give to someone who

you've only been dating for 6 months.

[haele]

31. He was a wealthy man. That sum of money for him was like

An average guy being "nice" to a girl friend and giving her $200 of his monthly fun money to help her in a pinch. Might have also been his way of saying "so long and thanks for the good time".

Haele

[B2G]

41. I haven't seen a financial accounting published.

Just mention of assets. He might be leveraged to the max.

[brush]

43. Or she left his ass and he was trying to get her back.

[MyNameGoesHere]

40. She might even

Be Filipina or Pinay. Just saying.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

7. I'm sorry but this whole wait for the girlfriend to get back is bullshit

It is hard to believe after a mass murder by your living companion the authorities would just sit and wait to talk with you on your return? Why not send detectives on the ground from Vegas over to speak with her?

[Fred Sanders]

28. They have spoken to her by telephone. She has been overseas for some time.

Zero evidence against her regarding the mass shooting. More likely he waited for her to leave first and plan the attack, am I right?

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

33. News tonight says more to it

Watch the early presser if you can.

[bdamomma]

9. hmmm.....

FBI is on this??? following the money huh??

[Sunlei]

10. $$For the GFs family. IMO, this man 'planned' a Dramatic Vegas Suicide with a bunch of murders.

He waited until the GF was out of the country, must have liked her and her family. People who plan suicide give away stuff/money to people they like, spend savings.

Planned the murders/suicide well in advance.

[octoberlib]

11. Pete Williams mentioned this on MSNBC. Williams said he wired it to his girlfriend who was there at

the time. She's now in Hong Kong.

[Demtexan]

12. Traveling isn't she.

Might want to talk to her before she is
gone.

I heard he used her ID to check in.How does that work.

Was the room in her name?

[octoberlib]

13. I was thinking the same thing. How'd they let her get on a plane?

[jmowreader]

14. She probably left the country before he went to the Mandalay Bay

He was still a Good Guy with an Arsenal when she left the country; they wouldn't have had any reason to detain her.

[ecstatic]

20. "Good Guy with an Arsenal"

I just can't.... Boggles the mind.

[Demtexan]

15. That is strange.

I needed to show my Id at last hotel I stayed at.

I left my keycard in the room and had to show all the Id I had to get another key.

How did he use his girl friends?

[Not Ruth]

29. He was a big spender

Casinos like that

[rainbow4321]

34. The Vegas casino I stayed at last month had kisosks for self check in/out

If he booked it online using her info, he would have just checked in at the kiosk..no face to face needed. Time will tell...they probably have his every move on CCTV, even when he checked in, etc..hopefully, anyway.

[Demtexan]

37. No face to face.

I was told the hotel would be in a lot of trouble without all the extra security checks.

I had to show 3 other forms of ID and give back the first key card.

[melman]

16. Guaranteed it will come out that she knew

Just like Mateen's wife.

[maryellen99]

17. Theres this too and not surprised in the least.

https://www.rawstory.com/2017/10/las-vegas-shooter-stephen-paddock-often-berated-his-girlfriend-in-public-report/

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. No surprise AT ALL

[brush]

44. She left his sorry ass and he was trying to buy her back.

She must have refused.

[Raine]

18. something really stinks here... nt

[maryellen99]

19. If it turns out they are Islam converts Muslims here will have to go into hiding nt

[milestogo]

24. People don't commit mass murder because they've converted to Islam.

They may kill if they have become radicalized, but that's not the same thing.

[Fred Sanders]

35. Exactly. And you do not convert by crossing your toes and saying so. Some folks, not you,

suffer from great ignorances.

[Thrill]

21. They need to find the girlfriend because I think he clearly

Planned to get away and not kill himself

[maryellen99]

23. And have her take the fall for him nt

[Not Ruth]

30. He did have some planes

[elehhhhna]

46. That's ridiculous.

[cwydro]

22. Something weird about this.

I guess we'll learn more as time goes on.

[Amishman]

45. I agree, I posted about this the other day as well

It feels like there is a big piece of this we are not seeing

very freaking strange in many ways

[maryellen99]

25. Another explanation for the money wired is that he may have been planning

An escape to the Philippines and the GF was there waiting for him.

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. His estate would be at risk once he died so if he knew he would die it is

basic common sense to send her whatever cash you have if you want her to have it.

[Thrill]

47. I dont think he planned to kill himself

Didn’t they say he had a car full of other shit

[Fred Sanders]

36. Escape? How would that have happened!

[melman]

38. It wouldn't

But that doesn't mean he wasn't planning it.

[maryellen99]

39. I dont think he could've of at all but in his warped mind he probably thought he could nt

[MFM008]

32. Did he tell of her of his plans

and she bolted out of the country?
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
stay tuned....
