Good result for him but he shouldn't trust his new pet shark
Info on this FB page also says he got Khmer citizenship
Now known as Sen Samnang

Re: A Very Sad Expat Story in Kampot - BUT with Happy Ending
he clearly says he is selling some of his land not all to get some money together. Are land prices still high in Kampot? maybe the chinese will be interestedoffroadscholar wrote: ↑Fri May 01, 2020 2:16 pmThe intened sale of his land implies to me he did not get or need Cambodian citizenship. No reason to have it now, and he easily qualifies for an ER anyway.PSD-Kiwi wrote:Wow...so now that this guy has managed to get the properties "returned" to him, he is selling them. Probably a smart move, and likely he was advised to do so.
My cynical guess is a fair chunk of the sale procedes will payoff his many helpers.

Are those land prices a bit on the high side?

Well, with those prices he lives up to his new Cambodian name.

Re: A Very Sad Expat Story in Kampot - BUT with Happy Ending
wait a minute, let me get this straight
American buys land without a full land title ILLEGALLY using a Khmer nominee on the river front
gets scammed
"HE" comes to the rescue, (why? khmers lose land to scammers all the time?) and not only gets him his land back, (whose name is it in now?)
but grants him Cambodian citizenship>
WTF

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Couple of things come to mind. Given how much he's asking for the properties, and assuming he payed a similar amount 1-2 years ago, they may have taken into account how much he invested, in determining his eligibility for citizenship ?
I guess the granting of citizenship then provided the way for the properties to be transferred from the fat little guys name to his. For that, I dont think it matters if they're hard or soft title.
Re: A Very Sad Expat Story in Kampot - BUT with Happy Ending
From memory he started buying land at least 5 yrs ago and I guess the riverfront land would have been about $40-50m2. I would have thought, giving it's location ... I have seen his house and it is pretty nice, that it was probably soft title. The scammer was deeply ingrained in the Land Office in Kampot so for him it was easy to propagate the fraud. Interestingly the head guy, and his deputy, were removed for corruption - both of them have houses and land in a beautiful part of Kampot.offroadscholar wrote: ↑Sat May 02, 2020 10:56 amHard to know without the details.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Sat May 02, 2020 10:13 am wait a minute, let me get this straight

The prices now being quoted is typical of Kampot Chara and grossly overpriced so if you were interested I would cut the $ in half as an opening bid.
