RIP 5Dimes Tony - The end of an Era

I saw this thread for the first time today:

It made me think about the mysterious disappearance of 5Dimes Tony that I had not searched in ten months or so. I was curious and searched again. I was a little surprised that when I typed "5Dimes" into Google, "5dimes Tony" popped up as the first auto complete option since I'm on a new computer and had never searched this. Well that's because his mysterious disappearance wasn't a scam, it wasn't a matter of his ducking out on debts or absconding with company monies, Tony (real name William Sean Creighton) was kidnapped and murdered last year.

When the news reports were all a hash of conspiracy theory, kidnap ransom demands, and erroneous body discovery, I wasn't sure what to make of them. Now we know.

Last year I thought it might be staged. Crazy story.

Yes this is indeed a very crazy story. Condolences to his friends and Family. In Countrys like Costa Rica you need to be very careful. Especially if you are a foreign Male with Money, because your live simply means nothing to a lot of Persons there.
