Assuming Typhoon isn't lying through his teeth, how does that effect my theory? 
Since:
Lil' Sev dies and then Big Sev tries to resurrect?  If Typhoon is brought back 
via the 

sacrifice and has access to a good old fashioned security camera his story pans 
out.  I'm 

not finding a temporal issue here.
