Livin the dream

[RP]

Life certainly appears to have improved for Thomas Gravesen since he was playing for the bluesh*te.

[kop205]

where he plans to spend the rest of his days living the life of luxury and indulging in his passion for gambling.

 

What could possibly go wrong?

 

Find it mad that someone who could live anywhere in the world would choose Las Vegas, but I suppose the bit I've quoted explains it.

 

Also find it mad that he played for Real Madrid.

Where did it ever go wrong for Lee Carsley

I wonder if the follow-up piece has already been written and they're just hanging on to it for a few months (couple of years??) until they publish it.

[Tosh]

So what did he do to make the fortune over 5 years

[RP]

That's a very good question - I can't find anything online that says anything more than he had some successful investments in (financial?) businesses.

[Earl Hafler]

Well the girlfriend is a model and estate agent who plays the stock market.

 

 

He'll be in prison in 5 years.

Why would you need to actually move to Vegas? Don't they jet in 'passionate' gamblers with $100m fortunes?

 

I can't imagine Vegas is a nice place to live.

Indeed.

They have casinos in Monaco.

based in Las Vegas - that's that mystery solved !

[aka Dus]

A lot of mouthing about alleged links with Hell's Angels in Denmark over the years.

 

But I'm sure his fortune has been earned in entirely legitimate ways.

Are you mixing him up with Stig Tofting?

[drdooom]

If the Hell's Angels could make €100million in only a few short years they wouldn't have to be Hell's Angels so even if it was Gravesen it was probably not all down to them.

Ah, I think I am.

[Kvarme Ate My Food]

surely people are Hell's Angels because they want to be, not because they have to.

Here we go, this is like your WW1 thing all over again.

WW2.

 

I have no idea what WW1 was all about. And I don't want stressederic to explain.

[drdooom]

Apparently, allegedly the part about the millions might be an Internet invention. Danish media can't confirm it apparently, allegedly.

Decent crime lab though if you get murdered.

According to the original article in the danish newspaper BT they don't mention any extravagant fortune... Something Eurosport have added in themselves apparently.

Dan Carlin is tackling it on his Hardcore History podcast at the moment. Probably elementary stuff for you, but could be interesting nonetheless.

 

The randomness of the actual assasination blew my mind.
