    So one of the largest books ever is going to just exit scam maybe the owner would pull that shit but highly unlikely now.

    I'm guessing that like most countries when something like this happens the company goes into a conservatorship also the fact the book is still running even though the owner who owns the license is missing tells you something

    That was my first thought or why wouldn't he be packing serious heat and watch his moves and steps carefully in San Juan, Costa Rica of all places..

    No rules, you release you have better chance of getting caught.. Kidnapper will know certain things, want revenge or relay info to the police.. Best to wack them as ruthless as that sounds.. No trace...

    Luckily in America we have so many camera's and great detective work so it becomes very difficult to pull off kidnaps for ransom especially if the FBI gets involved.. Other Countries don't have the legal resources like America has..

    SBR is based on CR, right? Oddly silent on this topic.

    True that JIBBBY! In Cancun some little kid tried to give me a free bracelet and demanded to put it on my wrist with my watch on it. I knew what he was up to so I let him try and grab the bracelet and told him to get lost. Also, I was smashed coming out of some bar and some kid grabbed my lucky hat out of the bus window, ha ha.

    Then, way back when we went there for spring break we went with a big group and couldn't fit us into the hotel so we got 2 huge villas in a gated private resort. Of course we pissed off everyone else so they tried to turn off our water several times and electricity to try to get us to leave but didn't work. My idiot friend bought some weed off a little kid on the main stretch, so we go back in the alley right next to our resort. Friend got paranoid climbed the gate to take it back to the villa and 20 seconds later the cops pull up to us with a paddy wagon and start searching us. I was scared shitless last thing I wanted to do was end up in a Mexican jail or give them my ************. Searched our entire body, smelled our thumbs and made us strip down to our underwear, that was a close one. Young and dumb and that didn't stop us, tried to buy some Larry and twice it ended up being smashed up Tylenol.

    Also, a family of 4 with 2 young kids from around here and was close friends with a friend of mine. They rented a condo and died the first night there because they never serviced the heater and the family died of gas poisoning. So, I would like to go to Hawaii someday but I think that's the only place I trust off the mainland.

    If Tony was the registered owner of 5D in Costa Rica then everyone would have known his full name years ago.

    Until something concrete comes out in reliable media with confirmation that its 5D tony I don't know what to believe I just find it funny everyone is rushing to cashout and spread unsubstantiated theories from online

    Edit. I'd like to think what I've posted so far is rational.

    Whilst rational, it's irrelevant really.

    A powerful local business woman in CR is the owner. (unless that has changed in the last couple of years)


    The business itself will be fine for now. Let's hope Tony turns up fine too.

    Like I said I don't really believe anything I've read besides someone was kidnapped....I also don't believe that 5Dimes would turn into an exit scam scenario or a ghost ship without "Tony" this isn't some local bookie its an organization and Im sure like any business they have a contingency plan in place for situations like this

    He is introduced as the owner here. https://www.sportsbookreview.com/spo...rviews/5dimes/

    I always just assumed he was the owner.. Your post is actually the 1st I ever heard to the contrary. But i know nothing about the inner workings of any of these places.

    Crypto isn't necessarily bitcoin.

    Privacy coins are a thing.... and easy to turn into bitcoin

    Just from looking at what has transpired in this thread earlier, I would suggest that everyone be respectful and curb the urge to be a wanker because disrespectful comments in a situation like this won't be tolerated in the slightest. #themoreyouknow
