Curious news report from the day after Prigozhin's crash claiming that the now deceased copilot allowed two outsiders inside the aircraft a few hours before takeoff, supposedly because they were interested in buying an Embraer Legacy.
Other tidbits: Prigozhin used to demand that flight crews equip the plane with parachutes, even though they were useless for such an aircraft. He'd also sometimes fly to different destinations than he was officially registered for (angering air traffic officials), and he used to destroy passenger manifests after flights.
Prigozhin was also apparently very careful about allowing and storing weapons onboard, which would seem to challenge one theory floating around that the fatal blast inflight was an accident.

Why though?
The best I could find is: https://luxuryviewer.com/do-private-jets-have-parachutes/
Passengers don't know how to use them? Not the case here.
How the doors are placed makes using them highly dangerous and most probably fatal? Well, when the plane is obviously falling, I'd still gamble.
And according to the video posted, they've had plenty of time to consider 🤷
