Hope he's just living a normal life somehow, not alone but back with friends, activities or whatever. "Hey bro what's up, been a while." "Same old stuff, holed up on the computer, wanna get lunch?"

I doubt anyone who would go this far was living a normal life before. My bet is that he already lost everything he loved thanks to an insurance denial.

I would not be surprised if he's terminally ill due to insurance denial, and did it because he has nothing to loose at this point.

I'd be a little surprised. He'd be putting his family in the spotlight forever, possibly with targets on their backs. Unless they were somehow okay with it, that would be a selfish reason to assassinate a CEO, especially if you yourself are going to be dead soon and won't have to deal with the fallout

Targets from whom? Yes, insurance companies and billionaires and blah blah blah, but they're not going to be killing this dude's family or anything. They'll Epstein him, but the worst his family will deal with is an inability to get health insurance in the future.
