Not good that locals are getting into kidnapping and extortion. God only knows where they learned that from.

^ It had been a crime of only Chinese nationality up to now, but for some Khmer it maybe the hard times that sees them joining force. I would imagine there will probably be more possiblity too follow, but I could see the authorities strongly clamping down if more goes on. I would think what would sway that discussion, would be more wealthy Khmer worrying they could easily be allso on the extortion and kidnapping list.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Actually it used to be a problem for the wealthy Khmer in the nineties and early 2000s.AndyKK wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2020 8:59 am ^ It had been a crime of only Chinese nationality up to now, but for some Khmer it maybe the hard times that sees them joining force.

It eventually resulted in the banning of blackened window tints on cars.
I recall a couple of students who would arrive at school with armed body guards.

Best practice would be for all Police bodies to stomp this out before it becomes in a perverted sense, an *acceptable criminal activity among locals.Username Taken wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2020 4:34 am Not good that locals are getting into kidnapping and extortion.

Police need to take a pit-bull attitude like that of Rodrigo Duterte to make sure activity like this by locals never gets off the ground.

2 loan letters (1 in Khmer; 1 in Chinese)
Is that how it works? They kidnap you and make you 'lend' them money, all official and above board, and then don't repay you. It seems a bit of a fig leaf defence after you've been sprayed with pepper spray, given a jolt from the stun gun and bundled in the back of a Toyoto.

The kidnappers are the lenders. According to Chinese sources, they are loan sharks. Those Khmers probably are interpreters.Doc67 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2020 11:03 am2 loan letters (1 in Khmer; 1 in Chinese)

Then it is not extortion, it is just debt collection. What kind of loan sharks have written contracts anyway? Loansharks are unlicensed lenders and thus their loans are legally unenforceable. What is the point of a contract?chiaojiang wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2020 11:24 amThe kidnappers are the lenders. According to Chinese sources, they are loan sharks.

You answered your first point with the last one. It's not debt collection if there is no legal debt, that's what makes it extortion (and kidnap and torture).Doc67 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2020 11:44 amThen it is not extortion, it is just debt collection.

Re: Chinese/Khmer Gang Arrested in Sihanoukville Raid for Kidnap and Extortion
Yeah, I can see your point, but if there is a loan there is a debt. But if they lenders know it is legally unenforceable, or they know they will not try to rely on the courts for enforcement - not a traditional method of enforcement for loansharks - why bother with a contract? It nothing else, it puts the loansharks name in the document and therefore in the frame. Wholesale drug deals on credit don't come with written contracts!Bubble T wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2020 12:12 pmYou answered your first point with the last one.
