Reply #9: This article in Haaretz details more of the strange behavior surrounding his death:

From Haaretz:

The three Israelis who survived the car crash that killed Mizrai fled the scene and left him behind, the report continues, saying Mizrahi had five passports. New Zealand security services suspected he was a Mossad agent after the Israeli search party took interest in his many passports and after his three friends' quick departure back to Israel. Security services also took note that a Facebook page set up in remembrance of Mizrahi has only five "likes."

When you're with a group of people and you're killed and they immediately leave your body there and all catch flights back to (whatever) country, it looks suspicious. I doubt he was probably Mossad, but he could have been an intelligence operative of some sort. There is also the very real possibility that he had nothing to do with the Israeli government but was, in fact, involved in organized crime or some attempted corporate espionage. One would imagine that if he were a Mossad agent and traveling with Mossad agents, they would probably have some better plan than an amateurish cut-and-run.

From much of what I've read, Russian organized crime in Israel & Russia is as sophisticated and well-financed in some ways as the Israeli & Russian intelligence services are.
