He texted a pic of the money to a friend because it's a cool novelty to handle $40k in cash. He did not know it was a hostage-murder situation! Just that his boss needed the money. Accusing the assistant of skimming off the top is also ridiculous. He'd be fired immediately. Nobody would do that. Geez.

I agree I don't think the assistant was involved. However, I think if I was his employer and knew about him posting pics of my cars and my cash, I would be livid.

The cars- eh. He was a driver in a new exciting job driving cool luxury cars. I think that's ok. The money picture, from what it seems, was just a private picture via text to a personal friend. I think that's ok too. Certainly not weird, criminally minded, or fire able, imo

Well, I disagree. It may not be weird or criminally minded but it is still not the type of thing I'd want my employee sharing about me. The private picture with a friend, might not be such a big deal if it didn't involve huge sums of cash, which I think is a risky thing to share a picture of, with anyone. But the publicly posted pictures of the cars would seriously bother me as his employer. It seems inappropriate...like if my housekeeper were to share pictures of my house, it just feels too personal to me and, again, even if not criminal, it would be unsettling and it IS something I would consider firing someone over.

I don't think the assistant was involved, either. that said, I would definitely be firing an employee who's posting on social media the types of things the assistant was sharing. No question about it.

Ok. Fair enough. I guess it's personal preference; I am a business owner and employees definitely take pictures of cool shit at work- which would definitely be my possessions- and post them, share with the world. People talk. Now, a picture inside my home is different, I agree.
As an example, I just purchased an expensive custom truck. It was delivered to my place of business on a tractor trailer. You better believe we had maybe 5 employees congregating, oohing and ahhing, and taking pictures.
Why? Where did those pictures go? I don't know. But it's ok. It would super unreasonable of me to lash out and try to shut down any talk. I don't live in a vacuum. They were happy and excited and have never even seen a fancy truck upclose and inside like that. It makes them happy. I am nice to my employees.

And if he WAS involved, why in the world would he post pictures of the money on Instagram?? Come on, people.

Right!! With the caption, "going to Hawaii, baby" is probably what some knuckleheads on here are thinking.

So, is the 'red car' the Bentley? And is it still missing?
It's sickening to think of how senseless this all is. Imagining that idiotic, barbaric group driving around DC from 7-11 to 7-11 getting small money orders, thinking they're getting away with this crime. There has just got to be a hell for these thugs to go to.

Well he didn't post the money on Instagram, and people have done dumber things who were guilty, but I agree the dude has nothing to do with it. He probably panicked a bit at the cash transaction when the cops brought him in and lied about some reasonably inconsequential details in the end (locked the car vs not, got the money from a bank vs not, put it in a Manila envelope)

Yeah, it's personal preference. It is my preference that if people must share pictures, they stick to only sharing pictures of themselves and their own lives and things, not me or my life or my possessions. But I'm also just an old fuddy-duddy and just don't like the whole sharing pictures of everything trend in the first place.

anyone see this new info? http://wtop.com/dc/2015/05/kidnapping-multiple-people-involved-in-deaths-of-savopoulos-family/ During the hearing, prosecutors said that they believe they have Wint’s fingerprints on a water bottle found inside the Savopoulos’ home.

I'm starting to think he acted alone but had help after the fact.

I agree. Unless someone else was there with him in the house but the other person just did a much better job than DW did of covering their tracks or didn't have nearly as large a role as DW did.

After the assistant lied to the police multiple times I have to question that..and why he would lie about the key? Possibly he opened a key box to get a spare key out for the Porsche(assistant would want to keep his key on his key chain incase the police ask for his copy) So maybe if there were other perps with Wint maybe they left with the assistant when he dropped off the money(paid other perps, they dropped their vests in the garage and rolled out to Chantilly?) but maybe Wint stayed behind to "finish" the job but the others didn't know what was going to happen and he'd get his own ride home (Porsche). The assistant only worked for SS for 2 months so I don't see a huge trust bond and the police already said that someone involved knew their daily lives (assistant know whole schedule). JMO

I just don't understand why DW came back to DC and why he didn't get rid of his dreds right away.

I am the pp, and yes I really agree with you! Unfortunately, in this day and age, social media and iPhones are here to stay. If we were to institute a no picture/ no sharing rule, it just wouldn't work. If it's not employees, it's customers. All I can think is the flurry of backlash from a policy like that. The thing is, it IS a part of their lives too. I can't say, well I have the most money here, so I get to control all aspects of your life and enjoyment.
Driving those cars was a part of the assistant's life. A thrilling part he enjoyed sharing with friends and family. He probably had a good personality, too- the type to attract this CEO to hire him directly. A person who possesses that unique quality may also not tend to be a super private type. Decent, hard working trustful employees are hard to find! This guy had the same maid for over 20 years. Since he was in his 20's! Wow.

Does anyone know if Mr. Savopoulous was aware that in 2010 Wint was arrested with a machete close to AIW? And does anyone know when and why the family lived in the Caribbean for a year?
