I apologize for my run-on paragraphs, my teachers always warned me about that!
I would also hazard to guess that if OC wants to put their claws into you or your business, they would probably either get something incriminating on you first, or create something incriminating to stop you from going to the police. Or they could just threaten your loved ones. I don't think that they make it that easy just to go to the police and say 'Some goon from some OC is trying to blackmail me!' Isn't there some saying about what happens to rats or snitches? Although that could fit, WM did end up with a bullet in his head, didn't he?
And to follow that logic, once a loved one has already been murdered by OC, is that really when you would feel confident to go to the police? They followed through on one threat, who knows who they may have threatened to kill next? And they could threaten things worse than death, I imagine. So then isn't the intelligent thing to do to give them what they want, to say protect your mother? Or to delay giving them what they want (by cancelling the MTO certificate) until you no longer have something that they want, and then let them threaten the next owner. Or to change the business so that it is no longer what they want. QUOTE]

In this scenario, what good is DM in jail to whatever OC is apparently controlling him or his company? Why not just do away with DM himself, rather than some completely unrelated innocent family man? Seems the idea of framing DM to take the rap for this, this mysterious OC has driven DM into a position to either take it, or spill the beans. Also, how does the MS fit into the grand scheme of everything...JMO
In this scenario, I am suggested that killing the owner didn't work the first time to take control of the company, so a second plan to severely incriminate the new owner was hatched. Perhaps the scheme did not originally plan for DM getting caught by the police, but just to have DM know that the evidence was available to frame him anytime should he not go along with them at any point. But now with DM in custody he may be terrified to speak for fear that the same thing that happened to his father can happen to his mother. Or perhaps he was made aware of the falsified evidence against him before he was arrested, but he is smart enough to know that anything he tells the police now will be twisted to seem like it supports their theory that he did it, while anything he tells them about his framers will be dismissed as a lie. (Which is the meaning of 'everything you say can and will be used against you' and that is why you have the right to remain silent. It is a very important right, for a reason)
Now, in this scenario, OC would have to control a third CEO, MB, but I bet this would be the easiest one to control yet, after all, if she believes you have shot her husband and have planted the evidence that put her son in jail, and could possibly have more evidence to later help him get out if she is co-operative, or conversely enough evidence to see him locked up in the general population where they have people on the inside who could hurt or kill her son, I think she'd be a little more co-operative than the last two CEOs.
And MS, in this scenario would have happened to just literally be along for the ride that night, which might explain his GF's honest looking, in my opinion, extreme shock that was exploited in the media. In this scenario, all that was needed was a random innocent victim that was last seen with DM that could be approached momentarily in a private setting. The rest is stage dressing.
