A marketing team for a resort. Sounds like timeshare, probably pissed off the wrong people.

Perhaps his name just hadn't been confirmed by the reporter?

I thought they sent a letter asking for you to come in. Then, wait a week and send another request. Then...........

Maybe he is up for Freud, having gotten the earring from his mums.

I did not see the frauds he has committed.

But I don't trust man wearing earing

[Lupatria]

Am I right here at the earing pro & contra forum?

Contra forum

Don't trust people with ear rings?

Don't trust people with tattoos?

The Thaivisa hub of non-trust.

I personally don't trust people dressed in a 2000 dollar suits driving a Merc and smiling at me. I find them extremely suspicious.

It's really not so difficult, the police know his name but they haven't confirmed it to the media.

Yes...many pertinent details were purposely left out of this report. Whether or not he had a bagel with his coffee would have been the first thing that came to my mind. Good eye Sherlock!

Avast! ye scallywag. Perhaps ye were buggered at sea and involuntarily had the barnacles scraped off yer rudder, which would explain yer inconsiderate...OH Wait...Talk like a Pirate day was on September 19. Sorry...I digress.

Plus if one of those people is a swindler he for sure won't have nor earring nor tattoo

[Sallymax]

Bad reporting, but am sure it means the paper/media have yet to confirm his name. And no, you cannont arrest anyone with a "no name warrant"....cheers

No, he wasn't eating or he would have choked when seeing the dreaded BIB entering his work place.

More than likely that the parrot crapped on his epaulettes.

You seem to be right. I walked into those guys a few times and they're really annoying. Selling dreams that can't be dreamed.

No business here runs without the right protection.Hope this fellow had a work permit to share his time with other inmates now.-

Come back Russians all is forgiven, and we can get rid of all these crooked Australians. Never trust anyone with an Australian accent.
