An MSM link!

Many of the shooting ranges along the famed Las Vegas Strip would not speak to ABC News in the wake of the shooting, but at least one confirmed that Paddock had bought guns there nearly a year before the Oct. 1 attack.

Investigators are looking into a large sum of money Mr. Paddock transferred to Ms. Danley in the Philippines shortly before the attack.

Ms. Danley, who was born in the Philippines, said in a statement Wednesday that Mr. Paddock wired her the money so that she could buy a house for herself and her family. She said she feared it meant he was breaking up with her. Some media reports have put the amount of the transfer at $100,000.

Officials at the Philippines Anti-Money Laundering Council and the National Bureau of Investigation declined to comment on whether they were looking into the transaction.

Other Philippine officials, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the subject, said that any overseas transfer of more than $10,000 was supposed to be flagged for review but that few were actually examined.

The volume of money transfers is so great, they said, that only questionable transactions or those involved in a crime are investigated. Even a transfer of $100,000 would not raise have raised any eyebrows, said a former United States law enforcement official who has worked in the Philippines. About 10 million Philippines citizens live overseas and send home more than $2 billion a month, according to government figures.

Some caught my attention.

“He acted like everybody worked for him and that he was above others,” said John Weinreich, 48, a former executive casino host at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa in Reno, where he saw Mr. Paddock frequently from 2012 to 2014. When Mr. Paddock wanted food while he was gambling, he wanted it immediately and would order with more than one server if the meal did not arrive quickly enough.

Mr. Weinreich said he would get irritated and “uppity about it.”

I can see Stephen Paddock as someone with an entitlement mentality.

Mr. Paddock was the oldest, and least angry, of four boys growing up in the 1950s, said another brother, Patrick Benjamin Paddock II, 60, an engineer in Tucson. Stephen Paddock was born in Iowa, the home state of their mother, Irene Hudson.

“My brother was the most boring one in the family,” Patrick Paddock said. “He was the least violent one in the family, over a 30-year history, so it’s like, who?”

Their father, Patrick Benjamin Paddock, also known as Benjamin Hoskins Paddock, was mostly absent, living a life of crime even before the boys were born. A 1969 newspaper story described him as a “glib, smooth talking ‘confidence man,’ who is egotistic and arrogant.”

Stephen Paddock was good concealing and repressing his anger. He never showed anger because he was perpetually angry. He had resentment issues.

Stephen Paddock graduated from John H. Francis Polytechnic Senior High School in the Sun Valley neighborhood of Los Angeles in 1971, according to a Los Angeles Unified School District official. Richard Alarcon, a former Los Angeles city councilman, who lived near the Paddocks, said their neighborhood was working class, with a Japanese community center and tidy ranch houses bought with money from the G.I. Bill.

Mr. Alarcon took a science class with Mr. Paddock and remembered him as smart but with “a kind of irreverence. He didn’t always stay between the lines.”

He recalled a competition to build a bridge of balsa wood, without staples or glue. Mr. Paddock cheated, he said, using glue and extra wood.

“Everybody could see that he had cheated, but he just sort of laughed it off,” Mr. Alarcon said. “He had that funny quirky smile on his face like he didn’t care. He wanted to have the strongest bridge and he didn’t care what it took.”

Stephen Paddock was willing to break rules. He shrugged and laughed about it despite cheating. He could very well be antisocial.

By the 2000s, with both of his marriages long over, casinos became Mr. Paddock’s habitat. He liked being waited on, seeing shows and eating good food.

“He likes it when people go, ‘Oh, Mr. Paddock, can I get you a big bowl of the best shrimp anybody had ever eaten on the planet and a big glass of our best port?” Eric Paddock said.

Gambling made him feel important, if not social.

“You could tell that being in that high-limit gambling environment would lift him up,’’ said Mr. Weinreich, the Atlantis casino host in Reno. “He liked everyone doting on him.”

Looks like Stephen Paddock can be sociable when he wants to be. Paddock is grandiose approaching megalomania.

Looking at Stephen Paddock, I think he is a narcissist with psychopathic tendencies. He was most likely under the radar type psychopath. No one really knows the real and true Stephen Paddock.

He shows characteristics similar to Elliot Rodger, Adam Lanza, Eric Harris, Joran van der Sloot, Jodi Arias, and Lori Drew.

This is subject to change.

Here is a NYT article. Sounds like he was prepared to kill people several decades ago, using similar tactic. Got on the roof with a gun waiting for rioters. I presume rioters didn't show up.
"He was also willing to fight to defend what was his. During the riots in Los Angeles in the 1990s, he went to the roof of an apartment complex he owned in a flak jacket and armed with a gun, waiting for the rioters..."

Hare Psychopathy Checklist
http://www.minddisorders.com/Flu-Inv/Hare-Psychopathy-Checklist.html

The twenty traits assessed by the PCL-R score are:
glib and superficial charm
grandiose (exaggeratedly high) estimation of self
need for stimulation
pathological lying
cunning and manipulativeness
lack of remorse or guilt
shallow affect (superficial emotional responsiveness)
callousness and lack of empathy
parasitic lifestyle
poor behavioral controls
sexual promiscuity
early behavior problems
lack of realistic long-term goals
impulsivity
irresponsibility
failure to accept responsibility for own actions
many short-term marital relationships
juvenile delinquency
revocation of conditional release
criminal versatility

Great list. The Hare list has been revised a couple of times, as well there are additional tools that do relatively the same thing but in less time.

I've been greatly interested in Pschopathy for several years through my masters and doctoral program in psychology.

LE and the media use the word for a person who does a horrible deed to the scale we are talking about here. I haven't found many cases where mass killing as we see here is actually psychopathy. They like the one on one thrill and manipulation over this kind of explosive situation.

Their grandiose sense of self would also think on a scale that they can live through it because they are smarter than everyone else. They want to do things that give them a thrill over and over again. Some mentioned Ted Bundy on the board....clearly, he was a psychopath and repeated his deed with a single victim for many years.... IMO.

-Eric apparently thinks we are buying what he says??? That I think is part of cluster disorders.
*Denial*: My word is the truth-my brother was kind-something has happened to him...on and on. He is delusional to suppose we (LE, general public, etc) aren’t going to make the best informed decisions with ALL evidence as it comes forth. To me this speaks volumes about the depth of dysfunction and misplaced grandiose invincibility.

Eric: “He started flying as a teenager”. LE: “SP got his PL in 2003”.
Where was he flying and what was he flying before he got his PL???
(I’m not asking for the answer) This is just one of the many fauxpaus. For all we know he could have been flying kites.

THIS WE DO KNOW: SP had issues. To such they manifested in a number of ways. Let’s hope his brain will be sought out as a game changer in the research world.

Some have speculated that perhaps it was hereditary since SPs dad was a psychopath. I’m not sure, but if it was passed down to SP, couldn’t other offspring have mental illness as well?

Tried to copy and paste link but... At CNN site, report that family of victim has requested courts to seize Paddock's assets.

Okay- I need some confirmation please . Did anyone recall reading that he was an accountant for the US Department of Defense ? If anyone had read about his plane registration (I’ll try to find the link to post), it appeared that the owner following Paddock was a company based out of Roanoke, VA, labeled as “intelligence/defense.” Im just looking for some piggyback information pertaining to this- as well as some confirmation.
Furthermore, I had also read that the man has not “had a job” since the 80s. If that is the case, his copious amount of wealth has to be coming from something other than gambling! No?

Here is a check written by Stephen Paddock with his handwriting.

What I notice in his handwriting
The writing straight or angles to the right
Consistent pressure and bold
Some letters look like hooks and stingers
Muddying in d's, 0's, 3's 8's
Some use of cursive, but mostly print
His signature looks like a scribble

This suggest that Stephen Paddock likes to think big and he is in control. He shows characteristics of someone who likes to be around people, but not extremely sociable. He likes a challenge.

Well I wish we could see a picture of the handwritten note left in the suite. Since it supposedly contains a series of numbers, it would be interesting to compare handwriting to this check.
Who is the person that the check is written out to?

Yes, here

http://www.abcactionnews.com/news/l...s-vegas-shooter-worked-as-a-mailman-irs-agent

In July, 1976 Paddock landed a letter carrier position where he spent two years before moving on to the Internal Revenue Service as an Internal Revenue Agent. While it remains unclear in which division of the IRS Paddock worked, a spokesperson with OPM says he spent 6 years with the IRS before he ended up in the auditing department of the Defense Contract Audit Agency.

According to its website, the Defense Contract Audit Agency provides audit and financial advisory services to the Department of Defense (DoD) and other federal entities responsible for acquisition and contract administration.

-Yes, that is what I was implying. Throughout the family DNA.

I've read he was a USPS mail carrier, then an agent for IRS, then an internal auditor for a predecessor company of Lockheed Martin. It was thought the last co. had defense contracts in the aerospace industry.

I've known many people that once they started speculating in real estate, they no longer worked 8-5 jobs. Once you
learn the business it's not that hard to make good money. And considering he got a business degree in colllege, it would be a natural field for him.

Same with gambling. SP seemed like the type that studied anything he got involved with. I'm sure he was as OCD
being a gambler as he was in his other endeavors. there's lots of professional gamblers out there that do earn a
living with it, just not to the tune of 5 million in one year. That's like $13,900 per day. That's a stretch, IMO.

If that is what is even true. I don’t know if I even believe half of what I read nowadays!

[rsd1200]

Have we heard anything about him going to practice ranges anywhere?

The place where he lived in Mesquite was, surrounding it, basically desert and just across the line from AZ. I'd say with the amount of desert in NV, he could go out in the back 40 somewhere and practice all he wanted. I've never gone to a gun range. We don't compete or anything. We just set targets up out back, and shoot at them.
