After reading about the amateurs at eBay, I'm perfectly willing to entertain the idea that a large corporation who deals in military contracts might just take things one step further. Sure, I fully admit that I'm letting movie plots run wild in my head here, but I'm not ruling out the possibility. What, you think Rudolf Diesel just fell off that boat, too?
But it is all just conspiratorial at this point. Whether Diesel was pushed or fell, we'll never know and unfortunately won't for John Barnett, either.

Any number of players may have been motivated to bring the noise level down or keep certain things out of the public eye, and it’s not that much of a stretch to go from selling killing to buying just a little bit.
