Not remembering/paying enough attention to #3 is a big part of why I assumed he'd taken the money, and the reason I now tend to agree with luz's interpretation.
But I totally want to read the fic in which Bob did take the money, for interesting reasons, and then has to deal with that fact both when he's alive and when he's dead. It might have to be an AU in other ways, because (as I said over on the DW thread of this conversation), I think he-took-the-money would end up playing the role of Bob's Big Mistake/Wrongdoing, instead of he-tried-to-kill-Muldoon; it would be narratively weird to have both.
