          Occam's Razor says the raid did happen and they did kill bin Laden there and then dumped his body into the sea, exactly as the official story goes. The thing about conspiracies is that it takes just one person spilling the truth to ruin the whole thing, and given that the people that would've been involved here includes a massive list of people who actively despise America it seems unlikely there was some 'deal' they could reach with the American government to keep quiet.
