So, you think that after talking to LE, W-1 is no longer talking to LE while also not talking to the media? You think that LE gave the green light to Fox 5 to go code red on him? This is certainly a threat, though it comes from the mouth of a former U.S. attorney:

I thought that was very reckless journalism, bordering on defamation. However, maybe Fox 5 got the tip that they should go hard at W-1 and put Roscoe Howard (a former U.S. attorney for D.C.) on camera.
If that's the play, maybe W-1 has lawyered up or is simply refusing to be interviewed again.
Like you, I'm not persuaded (yet) that he's involved, and I know that LE sometimes will go hard after the wrong guy. If they tipped Fox 5 to go after him, they are playing rough indeed.
W-1 would have to be a new level of idiot to text a photo of the cash to his girlfriend in the middle of a high-stakes extortion crime. It doesn't make sense to me at all. He's super shallow and materialistic, but texting photos of cash to a girlfriend is not the game face of someone in the middle of a home invasion / extortion crime. To me that's exculpatory in his favor. Likewise, I think he lied to investigators because he was scared and stupid.
