I liked the post about the Ponzi Scheme. The big question is why he came in and bought all these businesses.
Yang maich! In the vernacular.
Was he a crypto currency holder or dealer? He seemed to throw money around like confetti.
I remember when buying $50 worth of tickets for the Walkabou draw was being rich.
And then giving the free beers to the motos and tuk tuks.
Times have changed.

I think the crypto thing was his cover for the scam. I have been told by several that knew him this is what he told them, he said he sold a lot of bitcoin several months ago when it skyrocket.

According to them they had no idea about the scams he was running and took the crypto story at face value.

Was he trying to turn the whole of Phnom Penh into a pyramid scheme?

According to this thread on a German investment site he accepted bitcoin as a means of buying into his scam businesses : https://x-invest.net/forum/thread-evisi ... -14-wochen

Interesting. So maybe there was some truth behind it.

Scam bitcoins out of people and sell them off during the peak. Smart move.

It seems like this has been going on for some time...

https://www.diebewertung.de/staatsanwal ... -arnsberg/

Public prosecutor's office Arnsberg 212 Js 45/16

In the preliminary investigation Arnsberg 212 Js 45/16 against Robert Schmalohr, Bernd Schulte, Brigitte Schmalohr and others for commercial fraud, the assets listed below were secured by way of recovery aid for damaged investors. The public prosecutor's security measures and their disclosure pursuant to Section 111e (4) of the Code of Criminal Procedure should open the possibility for offenders to secure their claims for obtaining a civil title in the property provisionally secured by the public prosecutor's office by means of their own enforcement measures. A mere registration of the claim with the public prosecutor Arnsberg is not sufficient and develops no legal effect! The maintenance of these provisional safeguards is also uncertainly limited in time. Since it is not foreseeable how long the court will maintain the safeguards, all offenders are advised to take immediate action themselves. Reference is made to §§ 803, 804 of the Code of Civil Procedure.

The following assets have been secured:

By order of the AG Arnsberg from 18.07.2016 5 Gs 212 Js 45/6 - 1247/16, accounts of Brigitte Schmalohr were seized at the Sparkasse Harburg-Buxtehude Sand 2, 20173 Hamburg for the protection of civil claims of the victims and also secured by seizure

Account number. 379875, Owner Brigitte Schmalohr, Credit 127,177.78 € at 18.10.2016

Account number. 12140760 Owner Brigitte Schmalohr, Balance € 1,386.62 as of 05/05/2016

Account number 9035035, owner Brigitte Schmalohr, balance 1,430.73 € at time 05.10.2016

In execution of the real arrest of the district court Arnsberg from 17.06.2016 5 Gs 212 Js 45/16 - 1061/16 was at the

Sparkasse Holstein, Am Rosengarten 3, 23701 Eutin

the account DE34213522400189407950, owner Bernd Schulder, credit 11.777,49 € at the time 15.07.2016, seized.

In completion of the real arrest of the district court Arnsberg from 07.02.2017 5 Gs 212 Js 45/16 -294/17 a maximum amount secured mortgage in the property land register salt living, sheet 1232 in the amount of 225.364,13 euro was registered.

This has to be one if the zaniest stories for a while. The man obviously had shitliads of money but he actually spent very little in Cambodia. Not even a million. How is the riverside place going?
