Lesson for the day- Don't jump to conclusions or judgement without knowing the facts (or even bothering to read the un-highlighted part).
Case in point, an acquaintance of mine posted this just moments ago on FB:

The key words being "...for his role..." last time I checked a role in a crime could be anything. He could have known about it and refused to blow the whistle, or could have aided, or anything really. Now if he "masterminded" the whole thing I think it would have said that, or not, media is pretty vague in reporting the entire story these days.
