    CR is very cosmopolitan, with many Europeans and Americans. Cities there resemble American / Euro cities.

    Watch what you say men
    I really second this. 5Dimes does not need another stab in the back.
    And for all we know it could be just an inside job to replace Tony.

    I dont believe they have 300 employees it sounds like a lie.Thatd be a payroll of close to 10 million a year or more yet theyre limiting dudes for winning 10 grand?

    i would bet they have at least 300 employees during high season, and if they didnt limit wiseguys they would have never reached the level they are at now.

    You really think they pay 30k plus a year in that country?I don’t think so. The first part I can agree with. I would guess they have less than 100 full-time employees.

    It's been a few years since I played there but who was Tony's right hand person? She was a female. I can't remember her name but she was pretty competent.

    From coinbase to your bank in under 24 hrs is a record

    That's it and correct. When he wasn't there she was given full authority to handle situations.

    I wouldn't describe the country as very cosmopolitan, its a 3rd world country after all. The larger cities in CR are probably considered cosmopolitan compared to the rural areas.

    To be fair, I didn't believe this thread originally. Afterall, there was no SBR verification of the kidnapping at the time and 5D was denying it ever took place (see post #47). So what you and other Mods deemed disrespectful could just be posters sarcastically responding to a perceived hoax thread. Surely no one, myself included, wants any harm to come to 5D Tony.

    Tony is a staple in the industry... He is a great man, a great father, well respected in the industry. I pray he is returned unharmed.

    Ridiculous.... Let us turn it around for a second. Why would anyone visit the US. There are mass shootings at schools, night clubs, concerts, outdoor festivals, terrorists blowing up buildings, all the time. Not sure I have ever read of an entire school being shot up in Costa Rica. The US has a much higher rate of gun violence then Costa Rica. What may shock you the most is the US has a higher Kidnapping rate then Costa Rica as well. I am a US citizen and love my country but, facts are facts and, it infuriates me when people make dumb ass statements like JJgold made. Its shows such ignorance.
