Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

A US fugitive wanted in his home country in connection with a US$700 million cryptocurrency scam has been arrested in Jakarta on sex charges, authorities in Indonesia said on Tuesday.

Russ Albert Medlin, who entered the Southeast Asian nation on a tourist visa last year, was arrested on Monday after three minors alleged he paid to have sex with them, police said.

If convicted under Indonesia’s child protection laws, Medlin could face 15 years in prison, police said, adding that they confiscated more than US$20,000 in cash from the suspect.

Just in case, he has been already convicted about a 14 y.o abuse in the States, and had been caught in Jakarta with video records of his wrongdoing with kids.

So, even if arrested by the police with some untold plans about his scam money, still double-whammy there.

A bit strange that he didn't have a fake ID though, if successful into making big money in such a way....

...And it's gonna be hot in here...fortunately for him there will be plenty of 2-balls ice creams to lick, hairy, sweaty, salty, with a slight clove aroma.

This is disturbing. I saw this guy many times in PP back in 2017/18. He used to hang out in the Naga casino, always accompanied by girls he had picked up early in the evening at Riverside and boasting about his Bitcoin richness. I am absolutely certain it is him because I just now asked a girl from 104 who I know used to hang out with him back then and she positively identified him too.
This is sickening because according to various articles on that topic he was convicted for child molestation and rape in 2006 and 2008 but was still able to frequently enter Cambodia.

Why is it that when the words scam, deviance, criminality etc.. are used, the word Bitcoin is never far behind..?
