The amount of effort diverting from Maxwell, who is the only one that can explain the hair, the ear lobe scar, and Crooks post death video is telling. Notice how they ignore the obvious hair difference, the obvious ear lobe scar, and the post death video, where Crooks approaches the camera and says "you got the wrong guy". That's not AI.

IMHO Crooks is a moron that didn't realize the danger he was in. Both are likely dead.
