Did AOL owned TMZ set up O.J. Simpson in the alleged robbery that took place earlier this week? Shawn Wasson sure thinks so. Here’s a look at a few of Shawn’s observations so far:

The tape was recorded by Thomas Riccio, who co-owns the auction house Universal Rarities. Riccio met up with Simpson just before the confrontation at the Palace Station Casino on Thursday night.

We’re told Riccio was on hand to help Simpson prove certain memorabilia being auctioned by Alfred Beardsley was ill-gotten. Riccio says he believed Simpson was going to confront Beardsley in the hotel room to give him an ultimatum — either hand over the goods or Simpson would call the cops.

Riccio turned his Olympus digital voice recorder on before the group entered the room — a group that included Simpson and four other men. Almost immediately, Simpson went wild, hurling profanities at Beardsley and another memorabilia dealer, Bruce Fromong.

So where does TMZ come in? This is just the tip of the iceberg. To read the rest of Shawn’s theory visit Sick Site Radio. Be sure to let us know what you think. Is Shawn on to something or has he lost his mind?
