never heard about 5dimes casino, though but in the article they say it is huge in Costa Rica
there is a wave of this sort of news lately, a guy was murdered for 120.000$ in Norway not so long ago:

Well, it is risky to act like than in any part of the world, who knows whom you might annoy. And no bodyguards? that's a bit reckless, don't you think? Now, if it was someone in the family... that's another thing.

Comes with the territory I guess. I don't think you get called "5dimes tony" for being under the radar and I don't think you get wealthy like that for not talking up yourself every day in the industry. But yeah, these types of cases usually connected to family or business acquaintances. Never good to hear it like that, and yet another bad name for BTC, just because it was used to pay the ransom.

Damn news people keep picking up clickbait.

He probably talked about his wealth to the wrongs people and they've then set up the kidnapping to relieve him from his funds.
The fact that they still killed him after the ransom was supposedly paid is pretty terrible, but also somewhat logical actually.

it is my understanding that he was somewhat known in that part of the world. I read somewhere on the caisno forums that he was often flashing with expensive cars etc. Nothing wrong in doing that, but as you propose it definitely has something to do with the ransom and death.

I've read somewhere a person very close to him might actually be involved. Also the wife hired some ex feds to investigate in addition to the police. It indeed sounds like a scene from the action movie

I'd say that's very likely.

If they had not killed him, investigators might have been able to find his kidnappers.

My condolences to his family, no-one deserves this.

Sad news indeed. I've never played at this casino but I heard of it. I think that the biggest question is, what's going to happen with this casino now? Undecided

Only a matter of time before someone who was pissed off enough to carry out the dirty deed.
Never played here but his name was very well known.
RIP to Tony and hopefully well wishes to the entire 5dimes family and CR community.

I can just hope that the Costa Rica's police will do the job, and that the kidnappers will be found. But really awful news... A few things confuses me, if family agreed to pay, why was he killed? Did the kidnappers receive the money? I guess they had no intention of letting him go.... perhaps it would be possible to track down the transaction, if there was any transaction done at all.

it is still uncertain if the ransom was actually paid ( different sources claim different amounts ) but not until police confirms more detail we are left in dark.

But if indeed transaction was made in BTC then they can kiss the money goodbye.

He was missing since the 25th of September. Apparently the kidnappers asked for ransom which was supposedly paid by Tony's wife in BTC ( worth around $1m supposedly ) . Still unclear as to how he got killed. More info
