Ah, so that's why you do it. As long as it makes you feel good.

Why not I am selfish,but try to help . What more can I do? The dichotomy of life . I suppose all I can do is consentrate on my own life and try to make me feel good without doing bad or trying to be judgemental,it is very hard.

Shame is over-rated. Obviously.

However, I guess that if enough people want to give to this guy to fund his travels this way, then who am I or we to say that he shouldn't exploit his handicap for money.

We all have our handicaps, if only we could capitalise on them. Wouldn't you all feel better about drinking if you paid into my go-fund me Anchor beer fund every time you have a beer ?

Get a job ,I am sure many say,but be honest what type of job would he get apart from sitting down.That is of course if someone would employ him,would you?
If you say you would give him a job,I guess whatever it was he would be doing it would do it sitting down.
I always give to the widows and disabled,they sit for a living and when I give it makes me feel good for the rest of the day.

he got his reputation after he had been given numerous chances of help but has wasted the chances for example a large sum of money was raised for him but he kept the money and blew it all on hookers and beer...
thats why no one gives him the time of day and is left with the label of a scam artist

[quote="Jamie_Lambo"]he kept the money and blew it all on hookers and beer...

And you don't drink beer so that's a bad choice ?

Is he a Derman from Dusselldorf in Dermany?
Yyyaaaaaaahhhhhh

Has anyone spotted the Frenchman (?) with the bandaged legs recently? Is he still in Siem Reap or has he
hobbled off somewhere else?

Well, Benjamin Holst never ceases to amaze!

I've lost track of him, but from what I recall over the past couple months, he's gone to Hong Kong, and was deported, back to the Philippines, and was deported, to Bali, Indonesia, and was deported, then a brief stay in Ibiza, and is now back in Germany, safe and sound!





Here is his tourist visa card for the Philippines or something:



And he even posted his DEPORTATION STAMP that he got in Indonesia, hahaha!



What a fucking character! !

Way to go, here he is again. In Malaysia right now. He's actually quite famous: "The party beggar with the big foot"'. LOL.




In 2014 hthe beggar used his swollen leg to exploit the sympathy of Thais to get money, but used it to support his extravagant life and shamelessly posted photos on Facebook.

Also known as “the party beggar with the big foot”, he is now in Kaula Lumpur after being seen in Penang. The Star online described him as a professional beggar and depended on the generosity of locals to fund his travelling and partying lifestyle.

The 32yearold German is said to have arrived in Malaysia on March 2 by train from Singapore.

His recent social media posts show him enjoying the nightlife, food and scenery of Bukit Bintang and Penang island.

“Time for cheaper girls and beach,” he wrote in one post depicting his journey from Kuala Lumpur to Penang.

Holst suffers from a rare form of localised gigantism called Macrodystrophia lipomatosa that has caused his left leg to swell severely. He has been seen begging on the streets of Thailand, Philippines, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia.

His Facebook page is filled with photos bragging about his exploits in these countries.

University of Nottingham student Lauren Sula, 23, warned Malaysians via the Backpackers Buddies Malaysia Facebook group on Saturday to stay away from Holst.

“He takes advantage of people all over Asia by begging for money, which you may at first think is to help fund his healthcare for his disability,” she wrote. “However, he brags on his personal Facebook page about how he’s staying in expensive hotels, eating in nice restaurants and spending endless money on prostitutes.”

Several Malaysians told The Star Online that they had seen him begging around the city on Sunday...
