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.

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

Much, much smaller. I have seen true inner circle people steal from high level types that THOUGHT they had pull...they don't.

Yeah davegormless, Felg is really going to delve into what he either does or does not know about the specific individuals directly involved with the internal machinations of Cambodia's super elite, right here on CEO.

Offer to buy the man a beer and sit with him in a dark corner of his bar of choice and maybe he'll indulge you.

He doesn't but you posted this on a public forum, and I commented.

PM him the next time you have a shitty idea for a joke and you don't want anyone else commenting.

Way to go guys you're the man.

This is my first post, more to follow, hope to get some feedback.
We haven't been to Cambodia for the past 5 years due to our safety concerns.

anyone can offer insight and advice would be greatly appreciated.
any question, please ask.
the document will be provided when needed.
Thank you for reading the post.

He says he is American but writes as if English is not his first language. It is possible it is a Cambodian who moved to America, but does not speak English 100%. We may never know.

The moral of this story is: Dont bring a large amount of money to Cambodia. Just as there are small scams, there are large scams.
