How can the crooked man be so self sufficient .
Come on , guys . Am I the only one who sees it ? Everyone who joined Fabletown had his name writen , his assets recorced and all the usual stuff (plus a few more described in the comics) . Obviously if the Crooked Man was rich he would be offered a role in the goverment like Bluebeard or at least had his entire story writen down . I mean , he comes out of the open , with the authorities knowing nothing . This only means that the guy had and was nothing , yet he owns slaves , a magic creating factory , a pawn shop , hands out lawns , etc .
On the other hand , Bluebeard made a fortune by busting Fables out of the Homelands by taking all their fortune first . Bigby (from comics) believes he is still doing that . But if Bluebeard is busting out Fables and Fabletown doesn't have a new member for a long time (also in the comics) it means the guy is sneaking them in . It makes sense because we would know of Bloody Mary's existence or powers . We would know about Aunty Greenleaf .
Since Bluebeard has the money and also doesn't lack the popularity , there is really nothing else than power that he is after . I believe he is behind this somehow . Bluebeard also has some other secrets from the comics ( wolves of the heartland , Goldilocks) .
What my opinion is that we will be able to punish the Crooked Man and find out Bluebeard's involvement , but with not sufficient evidence , thus Bluebeard surviving to appear on the comics .

I doubt Bigby is that much involved, Bigby wouldn't have been that patient with him in the comics.
Bluebeard'
Bigby mentions in the comics that he has been gathering information about Bluebeard over the centuries . Since Bluebeard is hiding something it could be a nice link TT would make between the game and the comics . Thats an idea of course
He sure has some unknown reasons for trying to slow down our investigation(or maybe he was just stupidly angry on Crane and the Tweedles). Since Bluebeard is such an informed man i find it impossible for him not to know about The Crooked Man, it's just that i don't believe him to be involved that much. If Bluebeard would have brought them in Fabletown, The Crooked Man would have been lost his fortune(unless they made a deal). I think The Crooked Mfound his own way of getting in Fabletown.
