I heard an interview with a commercial pilot, said any pilot making those types of maneuvers without reporting them would know that he was losing his license and would never fly again.

So unless the radio some how went out before the fire started, and the fire was small enough not to effect the planes engines and ability to fly for over 7 hours. that is not likely.

the cabin decompressing does not explain the at least 4 maneuvers that took the plane off course. or the lack of an attempt to signal an emergency. And if there was some kind of a leak in the cabin and nobody at the controls, could the plane have made it to the maximum possible range without something happening.

I don't know what happened, but with both accident theories it seems that a few things would have had to go wrong in sequence. Tampering or massive instrument malfunction seems more likely to me.

Its going to be a long time before it is at all clear what has happened.
