Regarding video tape, stalking and generally keeping tabs on the S family, imo, all totally possible, re reading this incomplete list of
characters associated with BS.
Maybe there is video/ audio somewhere and not necessarily from within the Sherman household, perhaps someone does know exactly what happened in the house and why?
Maybe the 10 million reward is for those kind of players to come forward, maybe they already have leaked bits of information/ misinformation
here and there?
If a fictionalized movie was made based on this case, Frank D'A would
no doubt want to play himself, wondering if it would be okay with KW if he was played by Kim Coates?
All speculation, imo.rbbm
Bad Blood’s second season is a deftly made, superior crime drama

Endless court battles, angry relatives and shady players: the truth about Barry Sherman

"Sherman’s wealth saw him cross paths with high society and low—from business and political elites to shady characters out of a Coen brothers movie. His investments outside of Apotex were both extensive and, at times, perplexing—a list that includes a failed casino bid, a money-losing gold mine, an outfit that produced therapeutic pads for horseshoes, a stake in the hottest commercial real estate venture in the country, a now-bankrupt jewellery company that dealt in “loose diamonds,” an investment in a yacht named The Great Gatsby that never existed and his backing of B movies
Real Gangsters! and
Sicilian Vampire."
"Sherman’s final months saw him face an array of situations seemingly plucked from spy thrillers. In January, Apotex sued a former employee, alleging he had stolen drug formulations that he planned to use at a factory he was building in Pakistan. Months later, in a lawsuit loaded with salacious details, a key Apotex executive was accused of espionage by the company’s biggest rival. Apotex had been added to a list of generic drug-makers accused of price fixing in the U.S. On a personal front, Sherman was suing yet another known fraudster with whom he’d invested, while his decade-long legal battle with his estranged “orphan cousins” came down in Sherman’s favour in September—then took yet another bizarre turn."
Drug Spies Piracy is the pharmaceutical industry's dirty little secret; fighting back has become its dirty little war. With the stakes this high, there are no rules, no conventions. But that doesn't mean there haven't been prisoners. - September 6, 1999

"For their parts, Flack and Whybrow concede that bending or skirting the law was all but routine. By day, dressed in business suits, they posed as "procurement agents" seeking drug samples from suspect manufacturers; the samples would then be analyzed to see whether patents had been violated. By night the really dangerous work began: The pair would don dark clothes and leap over factory walls--taking photographs, rummaging through garbage bins, ripping labels off containers, and sometimes even entering the plants themselves. On one occasion, they were chased by a pack of rottweilers. Whybrow says he and Stuart Harvey have even fed sedatives--stuffed in chunks of meat--to guard dogs, and dodged gunshots from watchmen who'd taken them by surprise. Standard equipment on these runs included black latex gloves, mini-bolt cutters, a set of police radios bought on the black market, and a black foldable ladder for going over walls and barbed wire. And if, as Whybrow says, "you came up against a door, you might have to shoulder it...or use a jimmy, a piece of wood, or an old piece of metal."
"Sherman was a thorn in the side for most multinationals, and Smith was prepared to do anything to bring about his demise," says Flack. "Sherman would tie up the multinationals for years in litigation, while he was carrying on producing drugs and making millions. Smith had been chasing him for years. He hated Sherman. Sherman was like Adolf Hitler to him."
Sherman, pointing to his $80 million R&D budget, denies violating any patents. But Smith, acting on Bayer's behalf, was certainly convinced: "Smith wanted us to infiltrate the company," says Whybrow, "put a half kilo of coke in [Sherman's] trunk, and get him stopped by a police contact we have [in Canada]." Flack says that another option Smith suggested was setting Sherman up in a sex sting with an underage partner. Smith tells FORTUNE that if he made any of these comments, it was in the context of "joking over a pint of beer." But Flack says his boss was "deadly serious" and "desperate," and that he and Whybrow were fully prepared to carry out the frame-ups. "I was well paid by Bayer to seek out Barry Sherman's demise," says Flack, "and if that's what it took, then so be it."
"By late 1996, Flack and Whybrow were on the verge of putting a mole right in Sherman's plant. But in February 1997, Smith took the pair off the Sherman case temporarily and dispatched them to Cyprus."
"Meanwhile, like characters in a bad Tom Clancy novel, everyone is now trying to get the other guys to turn. Barry Sherman's Apotex is trying to get Flack and Whybrow to snitch on Bayer. Investigators at Kroll Associates, which has long done work for Chemo-Iberica, the target of Smith's defunct Nemesis operation, have met with ex-Carratu operative Stuart Harvey, hoping to get him to share details of the work he did against their client. ("What I know is worth a lot of money to Chemo, but I'm a bit loath to sit in bed with the enemy," says Harvey."
