"So why the claim for "Victory" which is surely a miltary allusion"
Surely not. It's a religious allusion.

BPD said that the boots were not a match. That implies that the logos were slightly different because apparently the shoeprint cannot be sized. I own a pair of the Columbus boots Burke supposedly had and I made logo imprints. They're on FFJ in an appropriately-named thread on the first page of the JonBenet forum. I haven't compared logos with the photo of Helgoth's alleged boots in Paula Woodward's book, but my off-the-cuff impression is that they are not that all-fired different.
Didn't BR admit to owning that brand of boot?
One final word. Hi-Tec Columbus boots seem to have been produced to celebrate the quincentennial of Columbus's discovery of America, so kind of a stunt boot. The pair I purchased from ebay (not so long) ago are badly matched; the boots look like they were made on different lasts. One of the boots looks dumpy (and lumpy) from the back. I'm not sure it would be usable. My point is that these shoddily-made Columbus boots probably wouldn't be in the stores beyond 1992 and 1993. If the boots were purchased during those years, it's unlikely they would fit Burke in 1996. He wouldn't be wearing them.
But I think the bootprint is old for other reasons. It seems to me that if it were fresh at the time of the murder, there would likely be more detail of the heel and toe in the print.
I just saw a post on FFJ that shows an advertisement from 1994 for these kind of boots.
I learned, over the course of my inquiry, that it was Burke who had actually been responsible for tearing back the paper of the presents while playing in the basement on Christmas Day, and I wondered why Patsy would claim responsibility for doing this. Patsy had also told investigators that the unwrapped box of Lego toys in the same room was being hidden for Burke's upcoming January birthday.
I didn?t give much thought about the presence of Christmas presents in the room at the time, but would later think these played a role in some of the events that took place on Christmas day.
Adequate Sized Attaché?
The number of dollar notes required to fulfil the requirements of the ransom note is 1,900 by my maths.
A typical attaché (according to Quora at least) houses 10,000 notes. The dimensions of a slimline attaché I found on the net i estimate still holds 7,000.
Someone could check my maths. It seems to me evidence that the ‘foreign faction’ hasn’t done this thing before as they are unfamiliar with the capacity of an attaché case. I think you’d struggle to find an ‘inadequate attaché ’....
Sure thing. That's because the RN is fake, part of the staging, just like the wine-cellar and its contents, i.e. a fabricated crime-scene, just think what you could dream up if you based a theory on all that?hasn’t done this thing before as they are unfamiliar with the capacity of an attaché case.
That was my point too UKGuy though subtly stated. There is enough evidence to support your view already, though I thought the ‘adequate sized attache’ comment was an aspect I hadn’t seen evaluated before..Interested novice,

You are correct that almost any regular-sized briefcase or shoulder bag would have been large enough to fit the number of bills requested by the "foreign faction". I think the reference to an adequately-sized attaché could be an indication that John (or possibly John and Patsy acting together) originally planned to smuggle JonBenet's body out of the home in the "out-of-place" suitcase found in the basement under the window. The line in the note gives John an excuse to take a suitcase out of the home.Adequate Sized Attaché?

If that's true, the plan obviously changed at some point and JonBenet's body ended up in the wine cellar instead (where Fleet White managed not to see it when he peeked in, maybe because it hadn't yet been moved there).
I've probably read the note 100 times over the years, and the attaché reference has always stuck out as a possible pretext for getting the body out of the home.
Possibly as an idea, but in practice unworkable, could be Pasty authored the RN as John tried to stuff JonBenet into the samsonite case, remember those references to her fibers being in the case, when this failed they just tweaked the plan, since hiding her away is the same as removing her in a suitcase?originally planned to smuggle JonBenet's body out of the home in the "out-of-place" suitcase found in the basement under the window.
How so?"So why the claim for "Victory" which is surely a miltary allusion"
Surely not. It's a religious allusion.
