Thread: Time share king found dead in Phuket

Another British gangster who moved from Spain to Thailand.

The Thai do love them it seems and relish the prospect of sharing in their frauds. The victims are all foreigners so it's a perfect fit for the Thai who see no downside in these scams in much the same way they rake in millions from the boiler room thefts,ripping off farang worldwide.

Still, nice to see one croak it. It's been a good week so far, what with Glendon Bullard shuffling off his carcass.

I wonder which one of the many scumbags will die next.

The military would have him arrested.

if this was the same chap, he was, like many in the property game, a litigious and greedy bastard.

^ & ^^^ Drawing conclusions from titbits of info on the web, hmmm.

Mad Dennis as he was affectionately known back in the day brought order to the wild west that was the time share industry in the late 80's.

There are now hundreds of thousands of happy owners and employees which is testament and a legacy to the shrewd business man that he was.

Taken too soon

RIP MD

Biggest crock of shit I've read for some time, here or anywhere for that matter.

Lee Hunt, his matey, is linked to Ocean Blue Marketing and the Asian Travel Club, a two bit timeshare shyster outfit employing Euro, American And Russian trash pressurizing the naive.

Scum and the poor relations to the boiler room filth and investment/ assurance dickheads who infest lower Sukhumvit.

Definitely on a roll with the grim reaper scything his way and the Septics sorting out their wanted list.

^Sounds like the industry in Thailand needs a new MD to spring clean it.

Sadly that old school strength of character, astuteness and presence seem to be in short supply in Thailand's expat business comunity.

Any photos of the filth ?

I doubt any of the esteemed gentleman on here own any time share deals .
We own huge houses in Nakon, not pokey little shite hole complexes in a time share scam.

Time share in an ideal world with low marketing costs and maintenance charges is a fantastic concept.

No, pyramid selling is the best concept.

Might I interest you in my Yala development? Get in on the ground floor, so to speak and huge profits to be made when the current unpleasantness evaporates. The Aga Khan's son is a major investor as indeed is the Sultan of Borneo.

Drop me a PM and I'll get my lawyers, Steele, Cheetham & Howe to send you over some papers.

time share developments are mostly run by criminal filth, built with money gained from the proceeds of crimes elsewhere , the operational machine being sold and worked by low life meatheads preying on the naivety of expats who think if the sun is shining and the price is cheap it must be a happy happy day and nothing can possibly go wrong.

Why would an expat buy into timeshare?
Don't expats by definition want to live overseas full time?

I think he means the witless tourists on two week holidays who let themselves be railroaded.

Time share is a good concept.

Eg: 25 Teakdoor member each put £5000 into a kitty and buy a nice villa in Hau Hin, Thailand complete with pool near the beach for £125k. each getting a randomly selected two week slot in the calender.
The remaining 2 weeks is designated for the annual maintenance.
Your investment will grow in value and you can sell, rent and will it
Everyone's a chicken dinner.

Or you can house swop which is another type of timeshare.

The time share that got the bad reputation back in the day was a 200 apartment complex sold at 52 weeks of the year. Prices for weeks reflected the time of year - low,med,high season.
Selling on average at £5k per week with an annual maintenance fee of £200.

So we have £5000 x 52weeks x 200apartments = £52million
Then the maintenance fee goes up every year,Some maintenance fees are £800pw now
The above figures where an average 25 years ago.

i knew this man quite well, no I am not a crook, dangerous as a man could possibly be but a gentleman, old school, took care of me when I needed it and very very intelligent don't get that wrong.
If any of those who could not say it to his face then do not talk about him dead and believe me you would not say it to his face

Rest in Peace Denis, no one is all bad
Gods blessings

Time share scum is as sorely missed as Boiler room scum, or Israeli settler scum, or any other form of pond scum.
