Almost no time at all, if you've got credible evidence. If you've got "woo-woo" evidence, then it's going to take a very long time.
Something like this Muslim conspiracy :

21114/wl_nm/france_terror_arrests_dc_1
Or whether this police officer was trying to make himself a hero by setting up a false conspiracy :
story.news.yahoo.com.../ap/20021
114/ap_wo_en_po/us_oklahoma_city_1
Or this one on the collusion of a rap musician and some of his buddies to kill another rap musician (and is there a gang within the rap music world
that is plotting for control by "offing" the competition):

But if you're going to take stuff on face value like Jim Hickman did and not investigate further, then you can bet that the mods and senior members
are going to thwap your notion with a stick:
