I've thought for a while that the theories implicating JW involved too many leaps of faith. I understand why they took a good look at him initially but its time to move on.
This was a freaky, weird situation for everyone involved. There's no way to assume how a person would typically act because there's nothing typical about it. Why was the employee stuffing money in his pockets? Everything gets put under a microscope but its a mistake to make assumptions.
I think one of the main problems is that JW's lies didn't make sense. So we are left trying to figure out why someone would lie in this situation, what was he trying to hide that was more important than the torture-murders of four people, and what did he say that was actually true? I still have a hard time believing the accountant stuffed 4 bundles of cash in his pocket, then pulled them out and put them in JW's bag. But that was the last story, so we're led to believe, the most accurate? IDK.
Also, those of us who spent a fair amount of time on JW's and DW's SM pages (and their friends) before they were taken down, probably have a different perspective than those who didn't. It's impossible to explain the sheer narcissism he exhibited over the last several years. Coupled with the lies he told before this investigation (during interviews at Autobahn, to Skip Barber racing, and even on his websites) he comes off as someone who values style over substance; enjoys the excitement of starting things, but can't stick with them; and is lacking in any objective understanding of his place in the "racing world" and his chances of ever moving beyond hobbyist. It's sad really. Except that his lack of perspective contributed to his lack of professionalism, which he then broadcast for anyone to see - he exposed the S family, who was helping him out by giving him a job - to prying eyes. The S family lived well, but rather privately. It should have been their decision how much of their stuff and lives was made public. He objectified them by not considering how they would feel about having photos of the interiors of their cars and business transactions shared with anyone that JW's SM and text messages could reach. That is not the behavior of someone who really cares about people.
If JW is completely uninvolved in this crime, then he made a serious miscalculation. He could have sold his exclusive story to an outlet like another player, and funded his racing for years to come. But that would mean exposing all his previous lies, the ones he told to construct his Racer_Jordan persona. We know he's not shy. We know he has no problem using his proximity to others to raise his own profile. So why the radio silence?
He missed his chance to get his "story" out there to an international audience - something he has been trying to do for the last several years with Race Haus, J.T. Wallace Racing, #RacerGit, broke Racers Club, etc... Instead, the only information out there makes him look bad. Forget racing - who would even hire him to run errands for them now?
I'm on the fence about his involvement in the crime. Crazier things have happened. But I do know he's a liar and a petit thief, whose Maryland traffic violation is the only "crime" I know he's incurred. If you go back to DW's record, you'll see his criminal career started out exactly the same way, although he got there a couple of years earlier. If JW is not involved, this could be the best thing that ever happened to him - his trajectory was going nowhere fast. His brush with real criminals might scare him out of his fantasy world, so he can grow up, acquire some ethics and skills and build a productive life.
