As per question number 13, I also wonder if he was seen unbuttoning his shirt? Is it possible he secured the money inside his shirt just in case the package came open? If he then rebuttoned his shirt and tucked it back into his pants it would provide a means of containing any bundles of money that might come loose during the jump? This also might explain why he took off his tie. Any thoughts on this?
Haggar-interesting thought about putting the money in his shirt. It might not be so far fetched. Maybe the bundle he tried to give Tina went into his shirt instead of the pockets of his coat. It's out of the box thinking, and maybe no crazier than any other theory out there. It made me think about the money bag and how much it weighed and how much room it had. Flyjack could probably comment more on the exact weight of a bundle/pack. Did Cooper try to re-balance the load? Did he run out of space in the bag? A few packets probably would not make a difference, but it gets me thinking back to the point of what a 20 pound bag would do to a jumper in free fall. I'm of the opinion he left the tie as a f**k you to someone. The man, management, the system, whatever.
Tom Kaye worked on the money story .......... long before Flyjack even surfaced in 2010, left DZ then came back in 2018 to Shutter's forum for some reason, to promote his suspect. Jo Weber still says "Flyjack" is someone who introduced himself to her in 2010 as "Flyjax/Bulljax". Both said they were Canadians.
The only thing Flyjack has proven is that different people used different terms for the money, at different times. We already knew that from written and other testimony from all kinds of people! SA Carr finally found the bank person who did the actual packaging of the bills for delivery to the FBI (for Cooper). Tom Kaye also researched this and confirmed what Carr was saying. Flyjack surfaces in 2018 saying "Carr was wrong", and by extension "Kaye is wrong", "Georger is a liar", 'the Ingrams were wrong' ... and only Flyjack/Bulljax is correct!
We know that Cooper or somebody failed to get his request for a "KNAPSACK" included in his original demands. Cooper complained about this omission and immediately set about trying to fashion some kind of container to contain the money for his jump. All of the stews gave testimony describing Cooper trying out of different containers until at length Tina advises the cockpit crew that the last she saw was 'he has placed the money bundles back in the original bank bag container, tied rope around the neck of the container, and was tying this rope around his waste. Eric Ulis says from his 'expert' analysis this would have left the bank bag vulnerable to being lost during a jump. So" in addition to Flyjack we now have 'expert' analysis from two experts, Ulis and Flyjack. Or is it "Flyjax" of "Bulljax" according to another case expert: Jo Weber?
The bank people involved in this matter were very clear in their testimony about how and why the bills given to Cooper were bundled and banded with rubber bands, in the manner that happened. This included a bank security person at SeaFirst who said that 'paper straps with identifying bank logos' were never used in packaging money in extortion cases, for obvious reasons. And that the counts of bills in any bundle were always "random". In other words there were security procedures most banks followed in packaging money in extortion cases - including at SeaFirst. And that bundles of bills were simply banded together using rubber banks - no paper straps of any kind used. Then Larry Carr actually found the bank worker who had actually packaged the money for delivery to Cooper, and he confirmed that he did exactly what the SeaFirst security officer had said was done. Tom Kaye did his own research confirming all of this - see Kaye's website.
Flyjack shows up and says everyone is wrong or lying (or both) in this mater, based on his "word analysis" examining various words found in documents of Cooper case testimony!
Take your choice!
