Yeah, it's sad when you hear news like. It looks like criminals are now targeting personalities in the gambling world. Even here in my country, Chinese involved in gambling are being kidnap and ask for a huge ransom because they know that the families are rich and willing to pay that ransom money. For sure this sad news will send shockwakes to all gambling related activities around the globe, specially that the victim here in a US citizen. And what makes this incident very sad is that the it was set up by someone close to him.

Definitely a sad story to read, just goes to show that paying a ransom doesn't always go to plan, since most criminals realize that once they let their victim go they'll stand a higher chance of being caught than if they just kill them—sucks.
That must be why the police and governments of most countries refuse to negotiate with terrorists and hostage takers, since this is the kind of sh*t that can happen.
Wise thing to be done if we do try to think thoroughly.Better to kill the hostage and leave no trace than to let it go which would increase the chance for them to get caught.That must be why the police and governments of most countries refuse to negotiate with terrorists and hostage takers, since this is the kind of sh*t that can happen.
This is why we do commonly see hostage takings do end up on this way yet they don't have any choice if they don't like for themselves to get caught.They might able to
get away with authorities but their conscience will haunt them forever.

One of the many reasons why privacy is still a very important aspect nowadays in this world full of famewhores and wannabes. Who knows what the guy endured for a year before getting killed, and even with the ransom paid in full, they still killed him. It's really hard to make a footing in the crypto world and establish your business. Getting known publicly is a double-edged sword, and Creighton definitely suffered at the sharper end of it.

This is not entirely gambling-related but rather a concern worthy of being discussed in the Bitcoin Discussiom boards.

They are asking $5 million and they gave them $1 million, this could be the reason why they murder him, they want to extract more millions knowing their hostage is a multi-millionaire, this is one big reason why gambling operators chooses to run their gambling site without giving their real name as the owner.

Even the $1-million ransom paid by William Sean Creighton's wife to the kidnappers was to no avail.
After having being reported missing for almost a year, the founder of 5Dimes sportsbook was found dead in Costa Rica, the local police confirmed.

This is really heartbreaking to lose a loved ones in the midst of other challenges of life. While some might argue that for a founder in the gambling world which is known to be a notorious venture there is bound to be stepping on stones and rubbing shoulders with gangs but at the same time keeping him for a year and collection of over ransom is more than enough for him to be have been made to pay for whatever offence he might have committed to his abductors.
This is another blow to the entire gambling industry and at the same time taint the crypto world because after ransom was collected in bitcoin, there is still snuffing out of life. Not to make claims though, the founder might be sick and the lack of access to medical care might have been responsible for the death other than the kidnappers themselves but all of that no longer matter again.

That is why a public person must always be worried about his privacy on the internet. Nobody should be able to learn in the internet in which country that guy lived.
Poor guy, he was 1 year with kidnappers.
More than a dozen of people were involved in his kidnapping. Certainly not amatours. Sadly, even after receiving 1 million they still kept him and killed him. WTF.
Certainly all public people who are known to be big BTC holders should follow very strict steps to protect their privacy, because they are a target. Jameson Loop made a very strict guide about it. It is costy, for certainly better than to expose yourself like that and risking being kidnapped or whatever.

Early the next morning, Creighton’s relatives received a $5 million ransom demand. A $1 million ransom was ultimately paid in bitcoin, authorities said.
In January, a dozen people believed to have been involved in Creighton’s kidnapping were arrested during raids in Costa Rica and Spain, investigators said at the time.

Before we begin, I want to be clear that many of the techniques come at a cost. I had to fill out hundreds of pages of paperwork, spend around $30,000 in legal/banking/service fees, and endure a four-month process in order to achieve my goals. I estimate annual recurring costs of over $15,000 for my extreme setup.

That's a bad news for the 5dimes gambler since the founder is dead unless the person or people behind 5dimes founder's abduction is taking control of the domain. If 5dimes is a one man person behind the gambling site then it's done by thieves for sure but if not then I think there might be someone from the team is behind the abduction (not that I accused someone, who knows what the real reason is).

More and more crimes in this regard was very common in the gambling world. When people know about a person having a large sum of funds, automatically the person will be under surveillance. This surveillance will be by thieves as well as governments. From my view this crime case will go hidden soon.
