So, while we don't have proof, it's possible that JC is a regular con man. Some people just have a need for money for either what they can buy or the image it can create for them. IF JC has continued his felonious ways, then he might have:
- just run off,
- self-harmed,
- someone was very upset with his duplicitous actions and caused him harm.

Not to keep being cryptic, but I think it's that one with help from the big one.

"The Kansas Department of Commerce said it’s assisting state and federal law enforcement."

Here's more about the email and Toland (it's from various parts of the below article so I put them in an order that I think makes the most sense:

thank you it just keeps getting weirder

When I first read this I kept thinking the history of emails to be sent on his death that had to be disabled weekly to keep them from auto sending was a ruse to deflect blame to others or to insinuate mental health issues that could then be claimed as a mitigating factor should he be arrested.

My take is it looks like a con artist in action, but maybe I'm overly cynical.

Is the implication he used money from this grant to pay his hospital bill? Definitely seems to be a grifter. JMO

 

[LadyL]

but there were bills going unpaid like one for only $300+? where was the money going?
