A Very Sad Expat Story in Kampot
Many Kampotians will know the Alaska Gentleman who built his dream boathouse on the small river off the Kep road . He is a retired fisherman with a lifetime of fulfillment from fishing travelling & very good DIY handyman . & . He trusted the local Real estate agent & bought many plots of land on the small river & set about building his dream house o er the last 4 years .He made very good friends with the local Muslim fishing community in the village employing many of the locals & helping out as requested . Unfortunately the local agent sold him land without real title & despite being friendly turned out to be a calculate d fraudster ... More unfortunately he is a Cambodian well established agent that still operates today . The shock of the crime could easily kill off an aged gentle trusting man ...so this agent may still have more than a fraudulent crime against his name . It's also a crime against the good trustful citizens of Alaska & Kampot because the very bad crime will be a warning to all expats & may receive wider publicity in newspapers & television internationally ... especially as this social media post is likely to go viral.... Maybe truth will be the nail in the coffin of this unscrupulous Real Estate Agent ....he knows who he is ....& So does everyone in Kampot ....maybe soon everyone in Cambodia & the world .... Let's hope for a happy ending to this very very sad story !

There is also a video, but with very bad quality sound. However, if you watch the first minute or so, you get the drift.
