So even the rich and powerful aren't immune to crime in Brazil. I would imagine for much less than US$36 mil, he could hire mercenaries to go in there and get his MIL back...if he wanted to.

As an aside, TV members should appreciate that this guy is 47 yrs older than his wife and is nearly 20 yrs older than his MIL. Our hero!

The Brazilian crime syndicate must have thought they had died and gone to criminal heaven when Brazil landed the Olympics.

First of many opportunities to ply their trade on an unsuspecting naïve world sports participants and fans...

Big payday for criminals.

Referring to the ages you mention, seems like Bernie would fit in well here in Thailand.
