That screenshot above was maybe the first “insider theory” on 4Chan. A lot of “insider theories” are obviously made-up bullshit, but if you go through the above, a lot of it seems to be increasingly true.

A name that periodically comes up is Jack Katovich, probably Ethan’s friend. Some claim “best friend.” Who knows at this point? This thread sheds some brief light:
