Your claim that he is "guilty by association" doesn't really make sense. All the people in Ryan's KD were complicit in the other monarch farming land, are they "guilty by association" for allowing it when they attacked in and moved the meter?
Just because Ryan "looks" like the person who went in with the intention of a fake war(seeing as he is a bank in a ghetto), doesn't mean he did what that person did(enter into what may be construed as a fake war).
