Not only did he fail to conduct due diligence before purchasing land, which if he had he would have known that foreigners cannot legally own land and he could have taken steps to protect his interest ie. long term lease, set up and purchase through a company...instead he trusted a real estate agent to purchase the land under his (the real estate agents) name, and it also appears that he failed to conduct any due diligence on building regulations as he has built a permanent structure within 30m of the riverbank, which he could be forced to demolish if the state deems. Nice looking house though, the guy obviously had money - but no common sense.
This is the only truth as I understand.
So why making of him a special case ? No money but selling land for $100000+

Simple ..... he ran out of money so decided to sell some of the land only to discover his so called 'partner' had screwed him over. He still needs some money so he is selling some of his land now that he is Cambodian and the title is in name.

Chara made it a viral story by operating a account in his name deleting any comments that questioned why a American wrote so poor khmer English or anything about the story itself.
In cambodia when things go viral things get done. This time for a American to make People forget for a while how many of their own people who suffer without recieving any help at all.
With all that Said ofc i wish him luck but there is so much fabrication in this whole thing that it made me sick. All those fake posts from him and hunt down of doubhters being told to Close their mouths or in at least one case get their pictures posted on Facebook by Chara beeing called prostitute among other nasty things by the Tom mob after writing to him unknowing that it was actually going to her.
Tom was lucky now i hope this goes away.
