| Post subject: | Nevada high roller slain in CR last week |
The link below connects to some CR news from the Associated Press wire service about a guy who lived a very dangerous lifestyle in the States before turning-up in CR. Since he had little in common with us this post is merely for information, not to be construed in any way as an "alarm." But I do think it is interesting--perhaps you will too. Saturday, July 02, 2005 Las Vegas Review-Journal Self-made multimillionaire and Las Vegas high roller Chopot slain in Costa Rica http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/ ... 16421.html He reportedly skipped-out on a $3.5 million debt to the MGM Grand and $1.8 million to the Venetian (both publicly traded corporations, not mob operations). These debts were just two among many others. Given his pattern of behavior he likely owed a bundle to some people / outfits with very heavy collection agencies, perhaps not just in Nevada. Several different online articles about Ed Chopot's troubles are available by doing a Google News search of his name including one (accessible only with subscription) with the headline "Friends fear 'Mob hit' settled debts."

Thank you for posting this article. At least now we know that it wasn't just a random act of violence committed by Ticos looking for money. This man's appartment is near where I live so I was concerned. |
