I kind of collect train wreck stories as I've had a few of my own. This is from a channel on YT that has several involving the lovely ladies of Thailand.
So there's a guy who was single and he works for a mining company in AK. He owns a small house in AK and a house in FL. His best friend in AK that he works with is married to a Thai woman. The guy has always been single and thinks maybe I'll get a Thai so he gets on a dating website and talks up a bunch then goes over to meet his favorite. As far as everyone is concerned, she is just some Thai chick that is down to date/marry a foreigner.
Time goes by, eventually he brings her over on a fiancee visa and marries her. He works 3rd shift and she is getting bored so he buys her a used car and she at first works with the other Thai wife at her business. Eventually she works at a non-happy endings massage place. She starts going out in the evenings and meets a chick in a bar that is a local hooker. She has an apartment in town where she turns tricks. New Thai wife joins in and IIRC goes through like 2 or 3 cycles of working the season in AK and then wintering in FL with hubby. Enough anyhow that some of the money is in FL.
She and the other girls get busted. Tipped to the cops by other hookers who are losing all their business. This is in the middle of the night while hubby is working. Cops bring him in and question him like he is pimping her. The cops question everyone, realize the husband is clueless, call the massage place and find out she has a locker there and find $10k in it that she can't explain.
They search her car and the dudes house but turn up no other money. The Thai chick is in jail waiting to be deported. She says there is money there but won't tell him where. He gets the other Thai wife and his friend to help him and they search everywhere in the house but can't find any money. There's nothing in the car and he sells it. This house has a basement and he goes down and looks and realized that the one place the police nor he and his friends looked was at this table where he has old magazines and books stacked.
He picks up a magazine or book starts turning pages and money starts falling out. He finds something like $100k plus. He puts some money in his buddies safe. The work season is ending and he heads back to FL. He upgrades his truck and has a bunch of repair work done to his house, new roof, A/.C, etc. all for cash.
He looks around the FL house and finds a shoe box up on a closet shelf that has more cash in it. Don't remember what he does with that but he gets a call from his buddy in AK saying that his house up there has been broken into. Someone has kicked open the front door, busted up all the furniture on the first floor.
The friend goes over to nail plywood over the door and the guy says go look in the basement. Table is overturned, all books on the floor. Apparently they busted up his first floor stuff because they were pissed at no money.
Now at this point only 6 - 8 weeks has passed since the Thai chick was arrested and deported. She arrived back in Thailand with nothing and immediately got back to making cash horizontally because she now has a cellular and calls soon to be ex-husband's cell while he is FL and starts threatening him and wants to know where her money is.
Eventually he gets tired of it and tells her yes I found your money and I gave it all to the police. They want to talk to you. Never hears from her again. That's a success story compared to most of the others!
Here's a fun story, this guy is or was a taxi driver that I stumble across and then realize he's actually quite close to me.
