2long Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 How do we know that he was so drunk (or asleep) that he and the taxi driver couldn't agree on his destination or some other innocent explanation... and while he slept off the drunkenness on the street a ladyboy or other petty criminal didn't come along and rob him? Or maybe he lost it gambling or during some other illegal activity and wants to blame a taxi driver! Ok, the alleged story is most likely, but what evidence is there other than the blurred memory of a drunken Chinaman who appears to have more disposable money than common sense.

Crusader Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 This guy must have been more than just "drunk and fell asleep". To be stripped of those things and taken out of the cab and left on the side of the road...he must have been almost unconscious. Perhaps collusion between business friend and cabby?
