Guy I knew locally in the UK opened a dive shop in the Philippines, his security guard shot him dead.
Aquaintance of mine in London was on the run from the states for money laundering and growing some decent sized cannabis crops. Hid out in the Philippines for a few years till the DEA found him, spent a few years in a pinoy prison fighting extradition, cost him a few quid in lawyers fees over the years, he is a shadow of his former self nowadays, his health is f****d partly due to his time inside and partly due to his wild lifestyle. Some strange types wash up in the PI.
