Gambling in Cambodia
Chopped off fingers.
Ms. Vo Thi Biet of got the shock of her life after finding a chopped of finger after signing for an express delivery parcel at her home in Vietnam.What nearly made the elderly lady give up the ghost was that the finger belonged to her 23 year old son – who went with friends on a gambling trip to neighboring Cambodia a few days earlier. The package contained a note urging the mother to pay US $3,500 that her son borrowed and lost at a Cambodia casino and attempted to sneak out of the country without first covering his debt.
Luckily for her dummy of a son, his mother decided that he was worth saving. Just a few days later, Ms. Biet gave a thick wad of currency to a local agent of the Cambodia casino loan shark and soon her son, her wayward son was safely at home. The son claimed that he was captured with several others who escaped from the loan shark and everyone either lost a finger or an ear.
Cheater Feels the Pain at a Cambodian Casino.
The chopped off finger and tales of mutilation and torture involving a Cambodian casino are not as rare as one may think. A few months earlier, a female Thai national was found dead at a border Cambodian casino.
Police indicate that at least 3 million Thai Bhatt ($200,000 US) that the woman won during the previous days was missing.Local police indicated that they were shown casino security tapes where the dead woman was seen wearing an electronic cheating device to win close to a quarter million US dollars at the Cambodia casino with the help of a local Cambodian blackjack dealer.
Cambodia Casino Accepts Children as Collateral.
Another recent event involves the 13-year-old daughter of a deranged gambler who apparently left the girl as a collateral at a Cambodia casino to cover his nearly US $5,000 debt. The grandparents of the girl received a call from the Cambodian casino loan shark threatening to sell their granddaughter to a Thai pimp to work the many whorehouses of Bangkok unless the gambling debts were paid.
The family had no option but to pay back the debt with interest. The father of the 13 year old girl hasn’t been found.
Hard stance against cheaters and dead beats.
