As judged by me if the record isn't clear enough
If they never figure out who it is, resolves NA at the end of the market
If it is inconclusive i will 50% or NA by my judgement

still no new evidence - fbi says two accounts. one anti immigrant, one on gab that is more central/left.
gab says they are unsure the account is actually his, but keeps claiming it is him anyway
still unsure what the 2nd account is? the anti immigrant one?
Abbate did not identify the social media platform, saying investigators were still trying to definitively determine that it belonged to Crooks. However, he indicated that it was separate from an account on a different platform called Gab that was active in 2021.
one more rumor i guess - Gab ceo saying they might have found his account and he was left...
On the Twitter Rumor mill, it's been alleged that there's another Thomas Crooks in the area who better fits the description for the $15 donation (of course, the shooter was 17 then). There are a couple reasons that I don't believe that, but at the same time I think it's ridiculous entirely that many on the right are claiming that Crooks must've been a far-left ideologue based on absolutely zero evidence - of course, it makes sense for a MAGA-head to be unable to comprehend the idea that somebody's political views could change over time.
@Helado - I don't understand how attempting to assassinate Donald Trump is evidence someone is a "far-left ideologue". It's evidence that they're not a Trump supporter, sure, but there is so much nuance in between those two positions. Crooks was a registered Republican (in a closed-primary state), and people who knew him described him as generally conservative in news interviews. Plus, his father was a Libertarian Party member - the exact type of right-wing conservative to hate Trump's guts.
Reuters has a good summary of what's known so far. As the story appears to be shaping up, he seems to have been a generally conservative kid (though without super pronounced political views), and in many ways fits the typical profile of a nihilistic suicide-by-atrocity mass shooter. Quiet, withdrawn, and probably dealing with some serious mental health issues that caused him to decide to go out in infamy.

Gonna be really ironic (given all the finger pointing amongst politicians, conspiracy theorists, and the media over the past few days) if it turns out in the end that this was basically just another loser asshole trying to go out in a blaze of glory, no different from any other mass shooter, and there was no real political motivation at all.
If the FBI says he had no motive and didn’t hate Trump, the politicians and conspiracy theorists are not going to believe them
Generally, it’s hard to believe someone would shoot people without a motive
