My first thought when reading about the crux of these events being massive loss of production costs is insurance fraud. Hollywood is already famous for their kinky accounting practices and wonky insurance schemes. It's possible this was all a deliberate scheme to rake in cash from insurance payouts set up to cover loss from just this type of scenario.

But I think it's worth noting that an even more bizarre reality exists involving similar Hollywood accounting practices. I've read some unsubstantiated accounts of what they call "Limited Investment Opportunities" whereby banks allow basically anonymous accounts to be used for theft and money laundering. It all happens through what is called "Black Screen Banking." "Green Screen Banking" involves all the transactions that take place between bank customers during normal banking hours of operation. "Grey Screen Banking" involves the intra-bank transactions between banks after normal hours of operation. "Black Screen Banking" involves only transactions on a banks second set of books. In other words, these transactions record the illegal activity for the accounting purposes of corrupt bankers and the networks of organized financial crime set up at the end of WWII.

Apparently, Hollywood funds some of their largest productions through the proceeds of these "Limited Investment Opportunities." The way it works is a few accounts at a bank are chosen as repositories for stolen money. They are always anonymous in that they bear the names of depositors like, "The Black Bear" or "Children's Dream Group." Certain Hollywood studios and other insiders are given the option to make a deposit of $15 million or more to one of these accounts. The caveat is that, they will sign contracts agreeing to forfeit said money and promising to NEVER attempt a withdrawal. The punishment for withdrawal attempt is death.

After a period as short as between 3 weeks and 6 months, they receive a cash return of between 10x and 30x their deposit. This accounts for a huge percentage of US inflation, as these profits are created from thin air. I can't recall the process that takes place by the banks to produce the profits. I just remember that it all sounded feasible when learning about it 5 or 6 years ago. I do remember that it was somehow connected to phony bonds produced by the Federal Reserve Bank way back in the post WWII years. That involved gold reserves deposited with the fed by nations in exchange for bonds worth astronomical sums.

I'm not dismissing that there may have been some child abuse element behind this story. I'm just suggesting it was probably some other form of crime. We'll all be surprised just how much less child abuse there will be once we FIX THE MEDIA.
