I would be indeed very surprised about a big story of some thieves robbing barangs. Not that I don't believe that this happens, in fact I know one of the victims personally (and I wonder, if he participates in your actions), but I guess your big story will end up in an ordinary 3 paragraph article with some pictures in the Khmer Times or Phnom Penh Post - like any other thief that gets caught gets as well - but that's basically it...
Driving on Cambodian roads is just like playing a classic arcade top scroller. The only difference is a force feedback controller, the limitation to only one life and the inability to restart, once Game Over

Questions for @Jimbean. How did you find this thread so quickly after the OP’s initial post, given you did not join this site until 17 minutes after his post, and why did you wait for over four (4) months after catching the suspect to put this information out?

Sorry but calling out ABA bank, and only ABA bank, when it clearly could happen at any bank under the circumstances makes you sound petty and vindictive.

We are unhappy with the answer of ABA bank particulary .When we asked them to call out the recipient of our money they only gave us like answer ....This person do not want to go to police to justify the fonds. .And i am actually in my case at the tribunal trying to recover money on a name who is 2 times already cited on police complaints .ABA law team know it and asked a court decision .For them a customer account even of a thief is as good than another customer account .Do you know how much that cost to play the game in this country ?

Thank you. That is a constructive response. However, why did they not go into the other banking apps on my phone? To all of the other responses, I was not mugged by a gang nor under the influence of any substances legal or illegal. I went to ABA and they denied my screenshot was from their app. Then I had another supervisor come over and I opened it. It was their app. It is weak and they attempted and failed to get a dollar from me. ABA denied any responsibility and I will deposit 20 USD in that account for tuk-tuk rides.

All of the rest of you who have made false assumptions, I am going to assume you are sad and miserable people I like to avoid. Goodbye.
