My opinion: financial or cultural reasons.
Or genuine fear. Of a dealer's connections and what could happen to all of them if they say too much. Or, fear that he knows too much about them. Or maybe FR's wife, out of misperceived loyalty, explained to the family that she was somehow involved (I doubt), and now they are protecting her. It is not implausible that FR is manipulating his wife, and she is pushing the parents to stand by him.
But, financial reasons are highly possible. Maybe even more likely.
