Maybe I'm not hearing you right. You are talking about a conspiracy to frame a complete stranger? While it's possible and easily doable, dare I ask, "why would anyone care to do this?". For fun? What financial gain is there in framing a stranger?

My drives are encrypted btw.

Anyone could do it for any reason. Blackmail, revenge, etc.
