I hope it is OK to start this thread.
I am not saying that I know that there is a wide spread connection to many used car dealers, but obviously that seems to be a recurring theme with all the POI and victims tied in some way.
Things are coming out, mostly in comments (which I know are not verifiable yet) that are intriguing me that there might be a broad net of involvement.
Today's statement by Gonzalez ( http://ricksblog.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Gonzalez-report.pdf ) certainly introduces the possibility that there may be a connection to several dealers.
And the info from Mark Turner's blog seems to indicate that he thinks there may be a connection: http://markturnerandfriends.blogspot.com/

"I did not know anyone was going to kill BB and his wife at the time I was crying out that someone had tried to kill me and my wife in 2007. If the proper authorities had looked at my story and paid attention to what was really going on, perhaps BB and his wife would be alive today."
Does MT's 08/16/2009 7:41pm comments sounds plausible?

And a comment on http://ricksblog.biz/?p=7190 (#21) introduced the term "smurfin'" with this explanation link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smurfing_(crime)
"Structuring includes the act of parceling large financial transactions into smaller transactions to avoid scrutiny by regulators or law enforcement. Structuring often appears in federal indictments related to money laundering, fraud, and other financial crimes."
I don't know, but it all sounds like it could happen ... Coupled with the lawyering up of the deceased's family and the whole "defaming the good name" theme, it just makes me wonder.
(Let me know if there is already an applicable thread or if this is not appropriate. I didn't see one.)
