Made an account just to be a part of trying to solve who Iago is, because I like a good mystery, and I think Sabat is the sucker's answer.
Other people have listed off his hints, but I'm gonna do it again myself, because people have missed or dismissed some.
- Not affiliated with either Funimation or RT but has influence over them
- Not affiliated with any cons, but has influence over them
- Brags about his wealth online, and while Ty mocks him about this he's also not poor.
- He has enough that not only does he have the ability to put $200k toward his own lawyer fees, but he can be reasonably expected to cover someone else's lawyer fees.
- He thinks that there's no proof of his involvement in this and he's too far from this to be caught
- He has a higher, weaselly voice.
- He's not particularly attractive, and he's not nice.
- He's not lucky with women
- He's vice-president of a company neither Funimation nor RT, nor any of the cons
- His communication has been kept mostly over the phone, in texts and phonecalls
- With all the information BHBH has, they don't have enough to come for him on the first round, and he can reasonably expect that he's somehow immune and won't be caught in any sweep.
- No one likes Iago, the feeling is mutual
- IMO Ty was implying a history with Iago, that he'd threatened a previous client of his.
- It COULD be Todd, but if this were Sabat and so much of his influence is already known, why hide his name, why hide Todd's identity? There's no need. At this point Sabat knows he's getting pulled into this, and everyone else knows it too. That supports the theory that Sabat is Igor.
- He's a slimy, disgusting fellow, which when all added up means he's probably the kind of person you can tell is untrustworthy and unpleasant from looking at him and interacting with him. Like a businessman of some sort.
