What triggers my suspicion is that very insistence. You would think that someone with nothing to hide would have welcomed the opportunity to have a mole exposed (if, say, team-member-X were a rogue operator and no one else on the team knew). That person would have welcomed an investigation, if only for the optics of transparency it would have suggested.
But to unilaterally insist that not only you yourself, but EVERYONE on the team is 100% above suspicion just doesn't make any sense. How could he possibly be in a position to know such a thing, that's by definition not knowable? And these sweeping (yet easily disprovable) denials about his business interests have just totally undermined his position from day one.
He lies like he breathes, like my seven year-old with a mouth full of cookies who swears she didn't eat the cookies.
We still don't have enough info to know whether he knew about any collusion, but the only reasonable inference I can draw is that he's guilty as fuck.
