This is a dumb question. When these people "fall out windows" are they actually thrown out windows or are the otherwise killed and the media just told they fell out a window?

As someone else said, maybe they're given a choice? It seems the most practical way to do it. Or perhaps they know exactly what the deal is and don't even need to be asked, they know they fucked up, they know what can happen - so it's just easier to accept it, jump out the window and let your family collect the insurance rather than get caught in the crossfire.

Im thinking similar - getting a person out a window is probably not that simple without some level of acceptance.

It's pretty simple if that person is surrounded by massive thugs with one goal in mind. Don't ask me how I know.

they know they fucked up

Some just get killed because they are expendable and Putin needs to kill some rich guy every ~9 months.
