I gotta wonder how the actual adjuster is feeling about all this. Like feeling guilty they pinned it on some random guy? Surprised they managed to get away in the first place? Hell I gotta wonder where they're even at or where they came from.

And the feds too, are they really content with this fuckfest or are they still looking for the real guy just in case? Still looking because they need to show their bosses that they're not washed and can handle things like this? At least privately?

At the least someone at the FBI has gotta be thinking "yeah everyone better buy this or my ass is going to get dragged into some long meetings with a lot of yelling". Or maybe not. Maybe the consensus is just "well if you didn't want to get shot you shouldn't have acted like a vampire, we're supposed to turn over every rock from California to Iceland for one guy? Drag my career through the mud looking like an idiot trying to catch a guy half the country thinks we already got? Not my problem". Like there's just better things to do?

You could write a whole speculative crime novel about that jesus lmao.

What if the actual guy is like some professional hitman somebody hired for some rich asshole dispute and he didn't give one fuck about who it actually was

like guy caught a plane back to Uzbekistan or wherever the fuck the next week and never even noticed the shitshow that it became lmao

This is the most interesting part about it all. Like, surely the feds know this ain't the guy and just have to put on a big show to their bosses and the proles, right?
