HELP! Korean Kookmin Bank stole all our 1.5 Million USD investment- Cambodia corruption at its best.

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I cannot attest to the validity of this particular claim, but I can state for the record that this sort of theft does occur in Cambodia. I have worked three separate cases dealing with this sort of thing right here in Phnom Penh over the last year. It never ended well for the victims.

The key to doing big business in Cambodia is having a member of the inner circle as a sponsor...if you don't, do not do business here.

It's entirely possible but it doesn't explain Lee Howard's inability to speak American or where he got the $1 mil cash from, and why he could afford to ignore his $1 mil business for the length of time required to extort it.

Why would he tell you where he got his money from??? Wouldn't he post something from the court to prove it? Instead of wasting time answering why he can't speak English to your standard

Well, I guess I should start moving all my money to Cambodia!
That seems like a real smart move!

How big is the inner circle?
I’d imagine quite large, maybe 400 people?
