I think Shaw, like Ferrie and Ruby, was involved at the ground level of the conspiracy. They were instructed to interact with Oswald in a particular way, much as Oswald was ordered to infiltrate what he was told was a potential plot to kill JFK. At least that's my speculation. I don't believe they were cognizant of anything more than that, and at least Ruby and Ferrie were patsies in a way themselves.

I would put the Paines in this same ground level category.

I agree. Compartmentalization keeps most of the players ignorant about the big picture. This is why Jack Ruby in his letters and interviews in jail keeps speculating about who was at the top of the whole thing and how he was trapped. Ruby was probably assured that no jury in the world would convict him, and he would be a big hero for killing Oswald.

As for 544 Camp St, I vaguely remember Posner explaining it away by saying that Oswald sometimes walked around that neighborhood, saw that address and just randomly picked it to put on his leaflets. Didn't the other leaflets have his P.O. Box wrong too? If someone is really trying to form a FPCC chapter, why would he give people fake addresses?
