Why stop there? Thompson was allegedly set to testify on some insider trading hearing while he knew about an anti-trust case before the public. Maybe those same TLAs found a guy with a grudge and nudged him up to take care of a witness who might testify to something they didn't want public, or maybe some of their superiors were just upset about the $25B in lost shareholder value in the whole situation.

Since he got caught alive this theory does not look plausible. Those guys who were to hire him would make sure that he will not be talking to police.
