The Colonel's crime?

The Colonel told Jack what happened during the jail visit...he was with a 15 year old girl and she OD'd. Then they "found something" in his house. He didn't specifically say what, but he said he has a weakness, they're so small and cute. Obviously child pornography. You don't get arrested for a weakness for small, cute animals.

It's child porn, or it's animal porn, really it's whatever you want it to be and you clearly want it to be animal porn, but that's a leap, you should watch the directors commentary or check the internet to see if PT Anderson gave a definitive answer. Although he is clearly suggesting child porn, that's why you don't get told in the film, he's assuming the audience is intelligent enough to put those few puzzle pieces together themselves.

I always assumed child pornography. plus Jack's reaction.

I always wondered if he actual children at his house. Not just the underage teenagers but 11 and under children

I always assumed he had children locked in a dungeon in his basement.

It's obviously child pornography. God, no wonder some directors feel they have to spell everything out if some moviegoers are this dumb.

Of course it isn't small animals FFS!!!!

Was it a millionaire who said "Imagine no possessions"?

He was making child porn videos.
