I'm referring to the safety aspect. It was a place I had an interest in visiting, but between comments on this thread and others I've read over the last few years, I'm not feeling like this should be on my vacation list any more. Sounds pretty damn unsafe.

IM sure it’s like all the other island vacation destinations in 3rd world areas .
They keep the tourist areas safe so you probably good

so they pay the ransom via bitcoin (gotta love cryptos, lol) and they kill him anyway?

hmm, something is up. What % of the BTC is going to shut the authorities up?

Your post suggests you may be struggling w trust issues. If by chance you can make it to Florida this winter I can don my lab coat and rehang my Certificate of Doctoring back on the wall behind the bar and offer you 2for1 counseling sessions

very kind offer, not surprisingly . As luck would have it, while driving in ugly TO traffic this morning the car ahead had this license plate; 'b h2o'









cured

Why would you have expected me to ask that question?

I find the situation to be sad. Not surprising but sad.

Because you're annoying. Thought you were banned?

Why would you delete his photo? What’s the harm?

I saw the pic, and it was actually kind of eerie. I looked at it for a solid 3 minutes and just thought wow, here's this guy who probably just won a shit ton of money like he does everyday and he's closing up shop....a multi-million dollar shop that he owns and goes to everyday because it's a playground to him. His life is a permanent vacation and he lives for this shit. Probably had a couple beers and a hot tub on his mind when he gets home to his mansion, and life is good. Had no idea what was coming for him, and the sheer terror. Just hard to believe that this was how it was going to end for him.

I had no idea about his life story until I did some reading the other day. With as sharp as he was as a gambler, let alone all that square action betting into him and paying vig, how much was he worth? 50 mil?

RIP Tony

Well said. I thought the same thing. Sean and I actually have had quite a bit in common. After being a gringo with money in south america for so many years it angers me that they've done what they've done. I can empathize with a lot of the bs I'm sure he had to put up with. I can't understand why he wouldn't have had a security detail, evidently didn't think he needed it.

As far as what he was worth? I think quite a bit. We may never know. He had his wife's name on everything. But he was getting heat about middle eastern accounts making enormous transfers shortly before the amazon gift card situation....below is from march 2, 2016. And, that's 1.53 Billion, with a "B". Sure it wasn't his personally or the businesses but that was the type of money they were moving around.

Costa Rica-based online sportsbook 5Dimes has been caught up in a money laundering probe that also involves a director of the country’s national bank.This week, Costa Rican media outlet Nacion.com reported that Marisol Carvajal Cordero, a 35-year-old local listed as the manager of 5Dimes, had been connected to companies whose Banco de Costa Rica (BCR) accounts were abruptly closed in November after the bank was unable to verify the source of the funds in the accounts.
The report claims Carvajal -controlled companies based in Malta and Dubai transferred a total of $1.53b in 2014 to BCR accounts. Some of this $1.53b was transferred to 5Dmes’s parent company, Red Planet SA, which Carvajal also heads up. The BCR claimed it was unable to resolve the volume of the transferred funds with Carvajal’s managerial status.
Around $67m was transferred from Caravajal’s accounts to Latinamerica Trust & Escrow Company SA (Latco), a company ostensibly set up to handle real estate administration in Costa Rica. The $67m was moved in 25 transfers from the Malta and Dubai companies via banks in Germany, Spain the UK and the United States.
Around 30% of the funds deposited with Latco were forwarded to accounts in Panama and Peru, while 67% were transferred to Latco accounts at other CR banks and the remaining 3% was distributed via cashier checks.
Lawyer Manfred Pino reportedly holds the vast majority (87%) of Latco’s shares, while his wife controls the rest.Jennifer Morsink, a BCR director, is listed as Latco’s treasurer.
In a followup report, Pino told Nacion.com that the probe was the result of a personal feud between Morsink and BCR president Paola Mora Tumminelli. Pino claimed Mora suspected Morsink of being the author of an anonymous conflict of interest complaint filed against Mora last September, two months before the accounts were closed.
Pino claims Mora personally warned him that the bank would launch the probe unless Morsink fessed up to being the author of the complaint. Pino also claimed that the bank’s claim of inadequate documentation involving the Malta and Dubai companies was due to Pino only having been given 72 hours to produce the necessary documents.
It’s important to note that Costa Rican officials have yet to file charges against anyone connected with this probe. But 5Dimes’ plight reflects the increasingly ridiculous hurdles that American sports bettors must negotiate in order to fund their entertainment choices, all because US authorities can’t seem to disabuse themselves of outdated notions of the morality of sports betting.
This is the second time Costa Rica’s online gambling industry has been connected with a money laundering probe in as many weeks. Late last month, Western Union revealed that US federal authorities were probing the company’s transactions with online gambling firms, including at dozens of WU agent locations in Costa Rica.

Where in SA did you live?

 

[RalphJ]

Brazil

 

[RunMaker]

Interesting. Brazil is a different animal compared to the other countries in SA for me.

Mighty dangerous right now in Brazil.

You have no idea. Always has been dangerous. Wherever you have significant problems with education you're going to have a host of problems that accompany that. Unreal income disparity, corruption, lack of enforcement of the law. A general lack of respect for everything and everyone is pervasive. There are places in Brazil, in the Amazon, Manaus, Para, especially, where it's literally like the wild west must have been. Fastest gun wins, period. You kill someone and dump them in the river, that's it. No repercussions.

I've got stories to tell my grandkids for sure. If I live long enough to have 'em.

Where are you from in WV?

I don’t see what that matters. I’ve given too much personal information the way it is.

My objective here is to see that justice will be done.

US citizens need to contact the US embassy in CR and ask questions.

Seans parents are gone. I don’t want to see whoever is responsible get away Scott free.
