Or the perpetrator could have been one person, no need for it to be a conspiracy. I'm not saying it's probable, and the evidence sounds convincing. But I'm sure there are lots of unfalsifiable things that have actually happened, and frame jobs have happened. Not leaning on the luxury of throwing out uncertainties (or even just offhand devil's advocate like my original comment) doesn't make someone a nutjob. My point was that it coming from his home IP isn't the strongest of evidence. I only mentioned being a "patsy" because there's pretty much no other explanation (besides him lying) for his PayPal buying the VPN and the IP from his home address. If someone got into his home network and he works from home, it's not outside the realm of possibility, or even particularly farfetched, that someone got work and PayPal credentials and acted maliciously towards the company within his network. So please tone it down with the "conspiracy theory" rhetoric.
