Default Re: Crazy Phil Laak story with Pics

Damned if I didn't just figure this one out.

Q: Are there a lot of relatively well-off disabled people in Western countries ?
A: Yes. Government and insurance in Western countries tend to provide for the disabled.

Q: Do a lot of these disabled people play poker ?
A: Yes. Many were formerly competitive in athletics, enjoy competition, and poker gives them an outlet.

Q: Are a lot of these disabled people interested in sex tourism ?
A: Yes, sexual rejection of the disabled because of their disability is extremely common. Who can blame them for engaging in sex tourism.

Q: Does Thailand have a thriving sex tourism industry ?
A: Yes, without a doubt.

Q: Is Thailand a cheap travel destination for relatively well-off people in Western countries ?
A: Yes, airfare is the only real expense.

Q: Did Phil Laak recently obtain wide-spread fame and stardom due to poker television shows and his prop bet television show with Antonio Esfandiari ?
A: Yes, definitely.

Q: Would a lot of disabled poker players interested in sex tourism be likely to want to read about bizarre Phil Laak adventure stories ?
A: Yes, most probably.

Q: Does the originator of this particular Phil Laak story operate a sex tourism business in Thailand for disabled people?
A: Yes, as this thread has shown.

when i was in thailand last year i took a bus with a travel company and they robbed everyone in their sleep, the thai people are mostly very nice but the shady ones are the most degenerate people on the whole planet..

Jackpot.

Instead of say spamming travel sites or forums on disability, the operator invents a story of traffic accidents and failed business dealings, targets a poker pro to exploit its disabled segment, travels to Vegas, recruits a 2+2er to help him with fabricated photo evidence, and releases his website.

Genius.

How's it go?

1. Operate small business in foreign country.
2. Hatch mastermind marketing attempt through imagined vendettas
3. ???
4. Profit

Steroids?!

Copaxone and Interfuron are used to treat MS- get his wife to a better doctor.

[/ QUOTE ]You don't treat MS, you treat its symptoms. Steroids are used frequently. My father has had MS for many years and has had steroids prescribed a number of times. An aunt and a family friend both also had MS and both were given steroids at times. None of them "ballooned" but MS affects people differently.

[/ QUOTE ]

Youre right, after looking it up, steroids are used during a flare up but the results are not always favorable, I guess Ive been fortunate that my wife hasnt gotten to that point yet. The copaxone she injects has worked wonders.

Now do we get extra sympathy (and therefore get more credibility?) because we have loved ones with MS?

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.

...and if you don't believe the story just give a nudge to any investigative reporter to look at this sorry chapter in human history to make a definitive decision.

FIND PHILS BLOG LETS GET HIM OVER HERE TO ADDRESS THESE ACCUSATIONS

[/ QUOTE ]

The fact that mr Laak does not choose to answer does not in itself make him guilty, nor do my accusations, or the accusations of my friend or his wife.

Hopefully what will ultimatley happen is that sombody with credibility will do some research into this and uncover the unpleasant sleaze concomitant with this individual.

All,

Not sure why exactly, but I get a feeling that this story might actually be mostly true.
