Report: Costa Rica police find body of 5Dimes owner ‘Tony’
Creighton had a well-earned reputation for being extremely blunt in his communications with 5Dimes customers, but the book had been an online betting mainstay for two decades and there appears little reason to assume that the business won’t carry on as usual despite Creighton’s death.
Costa Rica was once the primary hub of the online sports betting industry, and reports of violent crime weren’t uncommon in those early ‘wild west’ days. Local media has reported a recent rise in abductions of foreign nationals, including US and Chinese ex-pats, suggesting that industry members who continue to operate in the region may need to take extra precautions to ensure their safety.Comment -

Burial of a gringo businessman
Photo of corpse wrapped and pit in the power of DIARIO EXTRA
A group of assassins recorded the macabre moment when they buried the body of the American businessman William Sean Creighton Kopko, who was buried in a farm located on Yerba Buena street, very close to the toll on Route 32, where they would have made a pit . Confidential sources mentioned to DIARIO EXTRA that the recording is proof that the mortal entrustment was executed to the letter and the assassins sent it to their bosses to consider the agreement fulfilled. The burial was late at night on an undetermined day, the gravediggers needed a lamp and a pick to dig the pit in the middle of a thicket; as for the corpse it appears covered with what appears to be a black sheet. According to El Periódico de Más Venta in Costa Rica, the group that kidnapped him, whose members were captured and discounted in pretrial detention, only what he intended was to take money, but it seems that Tony recognized one of his captors. However, it is not ruled out that he is a former employee of his, who worked for several years in the betting house located in San Pedro de Montes de Oca, where the victim left on Monday September 24, when they saw him for the last time riding alone in your Porsche Cayenne Turbo vehicle to your home.
2 CRIMINAL GROUPS
It is not ruled out that the group of assassins who kept the businessman sitting for several minutes in a chair, while they thought what they were doing with him, was from Puntarenas. In the end, they decided to put a plastic bag on his head until he died of suffocation. Agents of the Judicial Investigation Agency (OIJ) conducted an inspection on the farm where the gringo is believed to be buried, but after several hours of digging and combing the area with a dog specialized in human remains, they could not find the remains, However, the case remains under investigation. The day of the "lift", Tony was carrying a laptop and a cell phone that the criminals stole and pledged, however the police managed to recover them days later, also analyzed for information, but so far nothing has allowed to locate it. DIARIO EXTRA learned that a group of private investigators handled the version that the money deposited for the rescue of Tony, who also owns several betting houses, would have received Cuban citizens living on the island and that some of the "masterminds" "They left the country.
