Is it me or is this just some guy advertising his business in Thailand?

Does Phil Laak really seem like the type of guy that would hire someone to kill someone over 15k? Seems pretty far-fetched because of that to me. I'd think he would just chalk it up as a loss. Of course I have no knowledge at all of either guy or OP.

I'm not reading any further than this, simply because there is no way it would cost $30K to off someone in Thailand. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I'm sure Phil could have had this done for $2K if he really wanted.

In Thailand?!?!? Im pretty sure someone would do it for a dogburger and San Miguel beer.

What's the issue, again?

Our gossip so far:
Phil lost money to Thai-guy.
Phil paid more money for hit on Thai-guy.
Years pass.
Thai-guy lives on. Thai-guy comes to America to exact revenge via photo-op.

Seems to me like Phil is guilty of giving away cash and not getting good returns on his investments.

*Side note - Thai-guy has a fat wife stricken with some disease possibly related to a MS Paint accident.

The likely truth imho:

Business fails, bad blood
Situation is not resolved

Plot thickening potential:

Laak smashes kids in traffic accident.
Laak tries to have guy and family killed.
Wife of guy's health made substantially worse by Laak's action.
Poker bot will arbitrate resolution.

Which is more likely ???

That when he was a skint member Mr Laak had a bad day, made a poor judgement call, and wanted to pay for a hit on someoneone in a third world country

OR

A travel agent for disabled tours in Thailand goes through all this trouble to do a character assassianation on one particular poker star in order to advertise his business.

Seriously?? Shouldn't you be *helping* your argument?

The majority of people are skimming through the details of this story, jumping to this "omg Phil Laak is on TV and a well known poker player, he'd never have risked it all for this!" conclusion. While that assertion may be reasonable in general the allegations cite this all happening before Laak was known. They are based when he was staying in Thailand hustling cards, trying to make a living doing whatever, clearly not the Phil Laak he is today.

Actually is was heroine and not thai artifacts proof will come out later you must admit this is some story no smoke without fire

[/ QUOTE ]

This makes much more sense. Paying $30k for a hit over the loss of $15,000 for artifacts sounds like complete bollocks.

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe it was 30k Baht.

I don't really understand the direction that this thread has taken.

<ul type="square">[*]Phil was in Thailand at the time in question[*]This story is well known in Thai gambling circles.[*]Phil obviously knows the person in the pics and does not want to discuss the incident[*]Phil hustled backgammon at Ace Point[*]Phil loves the ganja [/list]
It seems to me like there is some truth to the story and I find it unsettling and horribly racist that we discount the storyteller's credibility because he is not one of us and because of his poor command of the English language.

It's pretty laughable that one is less credible if they cannot spell or write very well. Now this guy may be entirely FOS, but there has to be alternate methods to establish his credibility or verify the timeline that doesn't involve pointless attacks on his grammar.
