Some of what happened to this guy was bad luck; some was the work of criminals; most of it was just his incapacity to think things through before he did something stupid, such as flying a plane into a building filled with low level functunaries of an enforcement branch of government that has little or no legislative authority.
He didn't consult with reputable professionals on how to start/run a business and failed to file the proper paperwork to prevent having unnecessary problems with tax enforcement agencies. He didn't give his CPA all the income receipts necessary for him to properly figure his taxes. He hung out with tax revolutionaries who didn't know their asses from a hole in the ground, and were likely trying to rip him off as well.
I've made alot of mistakes in my life. I don't blame the government, or my exes, or my CPA, or the boogeyman. This guy was a loser, and deserving of sympathy for how absolutely idiotic he was; but to say his murder-suicide was anything other than an act of derangement is denying the facts he presents in his letter. If you want to change the world, you don't do it by killing yourself and one other nameless IRS employee, and burning down the house your wife and kids live in: you fight till your last breath against those forces you feel oppress you and you use the most effective tools available, and you constantly search for more. This guy was just whacked.
