I've talked to him so many times for one reason or other and for some reason seeing this pic has gutted me. He looks like a baby; nothing like I expected. I'm not saying anyone of any age deserves this shit but gosh he looks young. Horrible horrible horrible.

Nothing like I expected either. He looks like a college kid.

That's exactly what I expected!! Lol

How's it been brother?

Sounds like his wife’s family was behind it?

Says it was somebody close to him and that his wife wired the ransom money to one of her family members?

Had to be.

She sent that money immediately before the authorities told her what to do. Kind of obvious.

Like (almost) everyone else I'm shocked and saddened to hear of Tony's death.

Admittedly, this is probably not the best time and place to ask, but who owns 5dimes now? Did Tony even have 100% ownership? According to the Costa Rica Star article, Tony was 43 when he died, and according to SBR's review 5dimes started in 1996. That means he would have started the book when he was 21. I always thought it was strange that Tony was both owner of the book and the day to day manager, and I wondered if there was someone else behind it.

Nevertheless, RIP Tony.

**jjgold** · 10-21-18, 08:52 AM

I have no idea who owns it

I did not realize he was so young well hopefully they’ll lock that wife up forever if she is guilty

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 10-21-18, 09:09 AM

it will be interesting to see how this story unfolds going forward

**Microphone** · 10-21-18, 09:17 AM

RIP Tony.

Tony looks like one of those computer geeks, a typical internet tough guy. All his posted convos made him sound like a huge douche bag but he didn't need to die. This is the reason why you need to be very careful who you marry. In situations like this, the spouse is usually the prime suspect.

He looked like an internet tough guy? STFU, seriously.

**jjgold** · 10-21-18, 09:26 AM

Men this has not been officially confirm by any authorities

Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t see an official announcement from the government

**flyingillini** · 10-21-18, 09:45 AM

This is sad Tragedy. Tony was one of the good guys in the industry. He was a great business man, well respected in the industry. A loving husband and father with family and friends that loved him. There is nothing he wouldn't do for a loved one. This sickens me and I hope whomever did this gets what they deserve. RIP to a true pioneer.

**jjgold** · 10-21-18, 09:54 AM

I will wait for an official word from Costa Rican governmental agency

There were ex-fbi investigators that came to that conclusion weeks before you had even heard that Tony was missing, so stop looking for a pat on the back.

I swear people have lost all common sense and don’t know know how to act in certain situations any longer.

Update on "Tony" From 5Dimes: Found Dead

Do not know if this has been confirmed, but the Costa Rica Star and one other website are reporting the following:

The Body of US Expat and Sportsbook Owner "5Dimes Tony" Found in Costa Rica - Costa Rica Star News

https://news.co.cr/us-expat-and-sportsbook-owner-5dimes-tony-aka-william-sean-creighton-body-has-been-found-in-costa-rica/76844/

UPDATED: January 12th 2019 William Sean Creighton, a 43-year old American known as one of the three most important sportsbook operators in Costa Rica, disappeared on September 24th at about 10:00PM, as he was leaving work. His wife, a Tica, reported him missing the following day, and the Costa Rican police began investigating the case as a possible kidnapping for ransom. The OIJ, however, reported that no one had received a request for payment of ransom, and declined further comment. (This is the same story that the families attorney gave to The Costa Rica Star as of October 25th) At...

Well, EYE am late af. Apologies for re-post.

**JumpoffJoeBeezy** · 10-21-18, 01:15 PM

Very sad. 5dimes has been such a great book over the years, and if the rumors are true that someone close to him orchestrated this, I can't say I'll ever play over there again.

As far as people thinking he was a d**k, I never got that from any of the popular stories you hear about him. He was very fair, but very stern on people he thought were trying to take advantage of him. And, guess what? A lot of gamblers WILL try to take advantage of people. So, he has/had a right to be stern.

RIP Tony.

**ADR51** · 10-21-18, 01:43 PM

that is fake news....he has not been found dead.

**jjgold** · 10-21-18, 01:52 PM

Adri There is no official word that I see

**Watergate** · 10-21-18, 01:58 PM

There have been reports but no confirmation as far as I've seen

**pilebuck13** · 10-21-18, 02:02 PM

From what I have read about his life story this guy was. Certified bad ass mother fuker, something everyone on this site wishes they were, sharp as fuk, rich, young and smart. Unreal this story getting no attention in the states.

**19th Hole** · 10-21-18, 02:03 PM

This is very hard to absorb.
Lucy...You got some 'splainin' to do.

**slayer14** · 10-21-18, 02:05 PM

Tony done a lot for the Costa Rica culture

Why would the us cover the head of a gambling site in costa rica being kidnapped?? You realize that kidnappings happen all the time espically in other countries right?

i have been thinking the same thing, strange there has been almost no news coverage in CR about this situation, very few outlets are even covering it... still praying the reports of a body being found are not true

**jjgold** · 10-21-18, 02:33 PM

We still have hope

Maybe because the world doesn't revolve around news surrounding offshore gambling websites. There's plenty of more significant tragedies going on in other places that the US doesn't even bother to give attention to. You think the owner of an offshore book getting kidnapped in Costa Rica is going to move the needle? Please.

**bonzaii** · 10-21-18, 02:48 PM

Can someone on here actually verify that is what Tony looks like and where is there a picture of this supposed dead body?

**KVB** · 10-21-18, 02:55 PM

This is a big deal in some places. We likely won't get a real story for years, by a journalist, after interviewing the relevant parties when they are safe.

There is no need for the public to know any real details, which is part of the reason there are so many mixed details. It's probably not a story unfolding, probably not like many think that is. It's already unfolded. Remember, this news is weeks old.

It's like that. I don't think we're going to be hearing from him again, guys.

Sad, SBR can ban me for saying, don't really care, this is a sad story.
