> It is a theory with no evidence supporting it other than that coincidence, not a refuted or a false theory. Key elements of it were false, though. The conspiracy theory largely focused on his “assassination” by being shot in the head, when in reality he was shot twice in the back. There was also physical evidence of an altercation, suggesting robbery. The idea that a trained assassin would first try to fistfight the target and then shoot is pretty absurd. Later, the public found out that hackers tied to Russian intelligence hacked the DNC, which further refuted the conspiracy theory. There’s a lot out there that fundamentally contradicts the conspiracy theory.

>Later, the public found out that hackers tied to Russian intelligence hacked the DNC Now we're really in unfounded conspiracy territory :) I don't have an opinion on the rich case but there's as much evidence that he was assassinated as there is that the DNC leak was perpetrated by professional hackers. Or to use your tone: the idea that a trained hacker would use a Russian IP address is pretty absurd. I guess you've been further refuted and fundamentally contradicted, sorry bud.

  No it wasn't at all! What makes you think that? If you have read that somewhere you should be very careful with that source in the future because it is telling you the wrong things. Here's the Republican-led senate report from September confirming exactly that the Russian intelligence hacked the DNC: "The committee found that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian effort to hack computer networks and accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak information damaging to Hillary Clinton and her campaign for president" etc. See page 174 onwards for details of what the GRU did and how they were traced. https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/documents/report_volume5.pdf https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/docu... or a good summary if you prefer: https://theintercept.com/2020/09/03/trump-russia-senate-report-mueller/ https://theintercept.com/2020/09/03/trump-russia-senate-repo... The earlier Mueller report finds the same thing of course. "Beginning in March 2016, units of the Russian Federation’s MainIntelligence Directorateof the General Staff (GRU) hacked thecomputers and email accounts of organizations, employees, and volunteers supporting the Clinton Campaign, including the email account of campaign chairman John Podesta." - see page 36, https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/documents/report_volume5.pdf https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/docu...
