Prigozhin is/was a dead man walking

I'm no media expert, but this gives good cover for one or a few people to get the fuck out of Russia, into whatever country offered them a good deal. Or just took them. Or Russia just wanted to keep them in a secret torture prison somewhere. No reason aside from maybe Occam's Razor to assume these people are actually dead, or dead from a plane crash.
