Have any expats ever actually paid to have someone beaten up in Cambodia?

On the thread about the scamming Kenyan, someone suggested the option of paying to have him beaten up.

I've heard it commonly said that in Cambodia it's easy for an expat to pay to have someone beaten up.

Has it ever actually happened?

Has anyone here ever actually heard from any reliable source that a specific expat paid to have a specific person beaten up and that the beating then occurred?

What's the going rate to give someone a beat down?

That's just cowardly...paying someone to do your dirty work.

If you've got an issue with someone be a man and confront them face to face, if it cant be sorted amicably and comes to fisticuffs then at least have the balls to do it yourself, make it a fair fight, one on one.

When it's gone past the face to face thing easy hit them when not looking and they don't see it coming just be careful not to hard and go home happy

Not exactly what you are asking, but:

A few years ago, there was an Australian man married to an Indonesian woman. The marriage got to the point where things werent working so well. The wife paid to have the husband beaten and murdered. That way she got all of the money. However, the children spoke up and said their mother arranged their fathers murder, and she should be brought to justice.

It would be extremely rare for a Westerner to pay for someone to be beaten up. Why would they?

It is much more common for Cambodians, Thai, Indonesians, Philippinoes and Chinese.

The Eglitis and Hastie roughing up of David Scotcher in Siem Reap in 2015 might count (or not). newsworthy/conman-james-eglitis-and-bre ... tml#p99540

A few reasons spelt out here...not just to be beaten up but murdered:
