These statements seem to counter each other.
>They acquired property, bought yachts and planes, travelled to exotic destinations.
>Robertson, online posters insisted, was conspiring with Cotten, who’d faked his own death and was hiding in some extradition-free backwater until they could rendezvous and live happily ever after.
