It's a bit too early to call conspiracy theories "crazy". Most hijackings involve a conspiracy. According to CNN, despite a couple of months of searching, we really don't know anything more than we knew the day after. If there are nations or militaries withholding information from searchers for reasons of national security, that too constitutes a "conspiracy," albeit probably with different objectives from whoever or whatever caused the plane to disappear. The lack of floating debris suggests (if at sea, consistent with reported pings) a relatively gentle landing with the plane sinking largely intact, which I suspect is beyond the piloting skills of an autopilot that has run out of fuel.
If you want to debunk some of the more unusual ideas out there, show us the airplane.
