Plane crash near Moscow reportedly kills Wagner Group leaders
I am not generally one for conspiracy theories, but this seems a bit convenient. A private jet, apparently owned by Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, crashed shortly after takeoff, killing Prigozhin and Dmitry Utkin, another Wagner Group leader, along with the crew and several other passengers. There are lots of rumors and conflicting reports, including claims that Russian air defense forces shot down the aircraft, but little actual verifiable details.

This is "who left an 8-ball of cocaine in the White House" level mysterious.
It couldn't have been Putin's fault because nobody fell out of a window.

U's gots two choices.
1) Vlad had Prigozhin rubbed out, 99 to 1 odds
2) Prigozhin staged his own demise and is now living quietly on Jeff Epstein's Little St James Island in the USVI Archipelago, 2 to 1 odds
3) This is another sleight of hand to deflect scrutiny from Hunter & Joe, 1000 to 1
I am bullish on Alcoa, with a $42.50 target

From the video of the plane crash, it appears to be in a full stall, with a flat spin, and intact. That doesn't track with a SAM or air-to-air missile strike.
It looks like a mechanical malfunction in the aircraft controls, perhaps induced by a defect intentionally induced when it was on the ground, or even reprogramming of the flight control software. Russian hackers can be very good.
One thing is for sure,
we will never know the truth.

I have it from a reliable source that the pictures may have been altered to appear that this was an accident.
