I think she is more than just an interpreter. I guess they might planned this together.
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។
If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

30 minutes is the legal minimum for a lunch break.Samouth wrote:how long does it take for American to finish their lunch ?Anchor Moy wrote:Americans don't do 3 hour lunchesDuncan wrote:Anchor Moy wrote:Just what I was thinking Little salary - why go back to the same seller etc ?
As for the cops - lol, I think you're right and it was lunch time.
(A handy hint to anyone wanting to do illegal stuff - lunchtime is 11am - 2pm.For example, if you rob the bank at 11:05, that gives you 3 hours for a getaway.)
That's handy information. I may try hacking Obamas e/mails while he's away having lunch, but the problem will be it will take me more than 3 hours to read all the juicy info.
(Not even sure they leave their desks.)

Re: Sihanoukville: A Russian arrested for selling fake diamo
The Preah Sihanouk Provincial Court on Sunday charged a Russian man and his Cambodian translator with fraud for allegedly selling a fake diamond to a jewelry shop owner in Sihanoukville’s Buon commune.
Preah Sihanouk provincial penal military police chief Var Chanthon identified the 50-year-old Russian man only by his nickname, Vania, and named his translator as Top Phally, 33.
Mr. Chanthon, who led the investigation, said the pair was arrested on Friday during a sting operation set up by military police with the help of the jewelry shop owner, Mom Chenda, 31.
The Russian man—along with two Russian accomplices—originally sold a fake diamond to Ms. Chenda at Thmey market on April 3 for $7,300, and promised to be in touch if he received more diamonds, he said.
Ms. Chenda then had the diamond appraised in Phnom Penh on April 12 and upon being told that it was fake, filed a complaint with Preah Sihanouk military police.
On April 21, the Russian man called Ms. Chenda with news that he had a $38,000 diamond for sale. Ms. Chenda agreed to meet him on Friday, and tipped off military police.
“The shop owner played a trick,” Mr. Chanthon said, explaining that when the Russian man and his translator visited her shop on Friday, Ms. Chenda pretended to bargain for the diamond as military police surrounded the market.
“We arrested them at about 2 p.m. Friday afternoon because they were selling fake diamonds,” he said.
Ream Chanmony, a deputy prosecutor at the provincial court, said he charged the pair Sunday and forwarded their case to an investigating judge. “Today, after the questioning, I charged them with fraud,” he said.
Mr. Chanthon said the suspects were sent to the provincial prison to await trial and that media reports of the Russian man’s arrest led to a second complaint against him, submitted by a Phnom Penh jewelry shop owner on Saturday.
He added that police were seeking to arrest the two Russian men who accompanied “Vania” to Thmey market on April 3.

Re: Sihanoukville: A Russian arrested for selling fake diamo
Russia makes a lot of synthetic diamonds and other than the fact they're suspiciously flawless, it takes sophisticated equipment (spectroscopes) & knowledge to tell them from mined ones. I wonder if he went that route in addition to his forged GIA documents.
