On April 12th, a terror-attack against the team of one of the major German soccer clubs, BVB, was reported by several news agencies. The attack was carried out with three bombs, enclosed by metal bolts for maximum damage. Luckily, only one player was injured at his hand. Some clumsy letters found at the scene pointed to an Islamic background, another equally clumsy pamphlet pointed to the left-wing, but due to the bad spelling and grammar was immediately suspected to be a false flag, potentially set by some right-wing extremist.
As evident by the links above, the media happily picked up the Islamic theme; the German right-wing party AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, alternative for Germany) also happily embraced the opportunity.
Turns out, the actual background seems to be a completely different one, neither political nor religious: The BVB is in the stock market. The perpetrator bought "put" options and tried to kill as many team-members as possible to make a fortune when the stocks would plummet.

But - if it were a **** I'd want to see ***. If it were a ***, I'd want to *** him. Don't know this , but he committed the act, he needs to die. *** So what? *** at random, was there. Hang ***. *** Just get rid of the bastard, and make an example of him in the process.
Wow, a call for the death penalty, from ARKANSAS! What happened, dude? Is your paranoia revenge fantasy about to hit it's 'use by' date? And turns out it was all just murder for stock manipulation, as American as Apple Pie and Bernie! (Bernie Madoff, that is.) Not random at all! And since he will not make money on the stock market, well, hasn't he really suffered enough?
