We have to wait if any official source verifies

I was curious about his statement because i would think a lot would after they get what they wanted would kill the hostage so there is no chance he can identify them. All i kept finding were child abductions and even those were unfortunately found dead at a 70% rate i think it was.

It could be that Tony, being wanted by the Justice Dept for money laundering (I didn't know that), pulled a Houdini via a fake kidnapping incident. If that's the case, I think the guy is smart enough to pull it off.

I guess it depends on what "Rarely means" 99% i don't know. I am really curious now but cannot find any stats on this . On the one hand i would think many would die because they do not want any witnesses or any chance of that hostage picking up something that may expose them. But on the other hand to kill someone puts you on another whole level of trouble should you get caught. At least if the hostage lived they will not go away for life and maybe even get out after a couple years.

If its just some random kidnappers I don't see the point of killing him. Only person who would kill him would be doing it out of vengeance ie his wife or someone he knew real well, but why would they wait till now to do that when they probably known him for so long?

But why even bother with it? That's not going to fool the Feds. Theyll know its all fake. The only people who would be getting fooled would be us on a message board.

If he escaped the tentacles of the Feds, and 5 D's is unscathed...all is good.

Why even bother with it? Money laundering is a serious charge, no?

3 of my posts were deleted that gave away no sensitive information. They were nothing out of the ordinary. I was also banned for 3 days for nothing. For three innocuous posts.

That's the big question. I know people have reported to getting cashouts, but I would be leery of having any significant money on there right now if there is an alternative story to all this.

Bother with pretending to be dead instead of just taking off to Cuba or wherever. Theyll find out where he is whether they can get there or not to extradite him back to the states.

Kidnapping and holding someone for ransom is hard, because at some point you have to collect the money.
But I guess with untraceable bitcoins that perhaps has become a bit easier

I thought about kidnapping JJ but then I would have to pay his family in BTC to take him back.

If he can fake his death, they no longer will pursue him and he can live his life out on a nice beach without looking over his shoulders. But i'm sure the Feds would want to verify and clearly identify the body.
Tony most likely has a lot of runners in town. He might have got tipped off and got the hell out of dodge. I'm just throwing shit out there but something is fishy.
Huh?
He was in Costa Rica.

Correct. A lot of serial rapists kill their victims for that reason. Some get off on murdering as well, but it's mostly so they can't be identified.

Think about who a large chunk of our staff is -many of whom you’ve met in one location or another - and decide if you’re surprised you received an infraction. What you said is inappropriate and offensive to people who work here or even just visit even if you weren’t aiming it at them.
People in here complaining about posts being deleted or even being temporarily banned... I warned you a few days ago that absolutely nothing would be tolerated in this one thread in particular and even suggested you go to another forum if you feel the need to say whatever about this topic. Keep in mind that there are several people high up at SBR who while they may not be that vocal on the forum at the moment are still here hourly and know Tony quite closely. Keep that in mind before you hit Post Quick Reply or at the very least don’t whinge when you cop it because you can’t help yourself even after being warned

There actually is no official ending as of now all pure speculation
How could you say they r stronger than ever? The main guy of the operation is dead or ran off. Before all this they were having issues wth employees stealing Credit Card info. Tony was the guy who kept 5dimes employees and players worried bout taking shots. Was he perfect..maybe not..but he got the job done. I'm a bit hesitant to say things r just fine especially wth everything that is going on

A person I know was and is absolutely the wrong person to have had cc account wiped out and that person claimed it was likely 5D.

Shari I think most of the comments were from local newspapers in Costa Rica
That's exactly what I commented on. It got erased and i came back and basically stated that I understood the sensitivity of it and Opti decided to run me for a day
I understand that many of the admin here know Tony but to censor comments from a newspaper is a little harsh? I've seen only a few posts that were actually disrespectful
How about just erasing all of the threads concerning this matter if it's going to mean posters getting run when making comments about what was stated in the media. We have no idea what the boundaries are here.

Honestly nobody gives a fukk. Nobody asked where Joey was, nobody is upset with SBR over banning you and deleting your posts, get over yourself. This has nothing to do with you and your perceived injustices.
