This makes the most sense. A custodian of evil acts against children.

He was a blackmail contractor too. Sold blackmailing services to the world's major intel agencies, and also used some to serve himself directly (such as in OP's story).

Exactly, he basically cheated his way into some money and used it create a living hell for children. Burn in hell motherfucker.

For sure. Anytime they try to pass someone off as some sort of wunderkind, it's a farce. Recently I can't help noticing that the "best" and Most Brilliant!"actors," the "actors' actors," like Meryl Streep and Robert Dinero and Kevin Spacey, are all implicated in creepy stuff?

Even if a death is over publicized with fawning over the person, especially some B actor like John Ritter, I figure it was something hinkey. I feel the same way about Patton Oswalt's wife McNamara. She was really a nobody but they had to make a huge deal out of what would otherwise be a blip in the press. HBO, the whole nine yards. To me it screams "something ain't right."
