Old Hippie Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Another board member and I saw him a few years back, he seemed as you say, drunk laid and happy. Who says crime doesn't pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ckrisg Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 No crime was committed like I said Civil, Red is correct but from what I remember it was a bank loan not credit cards. A couple of BM's are still in touch I last saw him about 4 years ago in Bangkok, skint but happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I wouldn't consider it on Credit Cards, nowhere near enough money in it to make it worthwhile but I do fantasise about another idea. Current employer has a substantial insurance policy in my name and if I was to "Pass Away" whilst still under contract my listed dependents would be paid out USD 1.6 Million (GBP 1 Mill). Jokingly discussed it with the wife and one of her cousins, who is a Doctor in BKK and could issue a "Death Certificate". Company only know my address in downtown Bangkok and not the house in the Suburbs so I could quite easily "Slip off the Radar Screen". Do I have the balls to do it? Probably not, but its a tempting prospect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh_Hoy Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 OMG, Mekong. I can't believe you posted this. I'm an honorable guy and would never consider approaching your wife with a slightly different plan. But, I'm not sure about some others here.

BelgianBoy Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Well, I jokingly tell my wife sometimes that I am actually worth more death than alive.....and no, she does not read this board ! BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HH the wife is not a benificiary of corporate payouts so I am covered from that perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Aha! So you named yourself as the beneficiary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Aha! So you named yourself as the beneficiary. Yes My twin Brother was killed in an accident over 40 years ago but his ID lives on for my benifit, I better say no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HonoluluJimmy Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Haven't the credit card people tightened up on who they issue to? I opened a couple of new bank accounts in Australia this year and there was no suggestion of any credit being offered. My original card has a $2000 limit but it goes back to the mid 90s and I doubt anyone could walk off the street and get this these days. This, of course is different to a loan application, where security would have to be shown. Also anyone doing this, maxing out his cards and doing a runner, would have to consider the future financial consequences. He'd be unlikely to be able to ever borrow money again. WOW "two large" credit limit.. You must know Warren Buffet or Bill Gates.... 2k, just what do you do with a 2K card limit. Five nights at the J.W. in Hong Kong would have snapped the hunk of plastic before I visited the gift shop! Yeah, there was a snap up of limits after the crash... Mai Pen Rai, Have a go at Merrill Lynch Beyond Banking.... You limit, your portfolio! Up to You! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
