British Tourist Ibrahim Baig Dies in Shenanigans Guesthouse in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

A Bangkok bar ‘Shenanigans’, just as ‘Shenanigans’ Phnom Penh is today, was a notorious haunt of boiler room scammers. The Bangkok pub has since changed both its name and clientele.
At the time Barry John Wilson was operating a boiler room from a private house guarded by men in military uniform in Phnom Penh. The villa was under the control of his property company. The scammers who worked there were picked up at Shenanigans bar each morning at 5am and were driven to the villa and told not to bring mobile phones.

Sorry for this completely unrelated question: What would it cost to have someone professional to guard your house here? I currently have my neighbour who is ex-military put on his old work clothes and walk around a bit for free when he has nothing else to do but it's not exactly 24h protection.

For a serious military uniformed dude as a bodyguard/driver it was $400 a month ten years ago. Outside of working hours you can get a soldier way cheaper but they might just fall asleep on you.
