Joran did not get tricked or owned. He murdered the daughter of a prominent Peruvian businessman who ran for President of Peru. (The man was connected.) A rough analogy would be if some idiot met one of Al Gore or John Kerry's daughters in a casino here in the United States and wound up killing her. Joran was lucky that he didn't get the chair or a firing squad. He'll be even luckier if he survives into his fifties and walks out of prison a free man.

I know, I know. But from his lawyers / defending point of view woudn't you think that. Obviously 30 years is way to few if you murdered someone. And it's a miracle he only got 28 years in a country more corrupt than whatever. Though I think any murder should be life in prison (you murdered someoneee jeeez wtf here in holland you might get 3-20 years lol). Also its weird he has to pay 70k to a miljonairs familiy lol. I think they care more about other things

Also is a daughter of Al gore or the daughter of that businessman more important than any other daughter in the world? It's still 1 life.

As a former Peruvian ill tell you he never ran for President of Peru, he is right now a member of the National Congress tho.

As you said he is connected to the point that during a certain moment he was decided to not give Joran to the police but to "deal with him" by his own means, justice is kind of not fair here sometimes.. he then decided to trust the system and the story goes as you all know it.

Flores Ramírez was a business student less than a year from graduation at the University of Lima. She was the daughter of Ricardo Flores, a former president of the Peruvian Automobile Club and winner of the "Caminos del Inca" rally in 1991. A prominent businessman and entertainment organizer, he ran for vice president in 2001 and for president five years later on fringe tickets.

The luckiest thing for Joran is that he's going to be extradited to Alabama within a few months, and will probably serve the rest of his sentence there. So any plot by the girl's well-connected father to get rid of him is gonna have to happen asap.

But I don't think he's stupid enough to set a foot on U.S. soil so that probably will never happen.

The lawyer of Joran is planning to appeal the sentence of 28 years. Joran was hoping for a sentence of 23 years.
It could definitely happen, but the US might not exist as it does now then, and it is probable a lot of the extradition treaties change. He could also end up in US if he sets foot in the UK. He better hope he can afford a private jet as it might accidentally make a stop in one of these places.

Secondly, does anyone know the prisoner transfer treaties between holland and Peru? If he were American he would do only 8 years + maybe a year back home, although murder sentences run longer in America than in Holland. If such an agreement exists with Holland he could be out in less than 14 years.

I think I made some small talk with him later on but can't remember what was said other than he was going to buy into the main event (USD $5000), and I think he said he was living in Thailand or Philippines.

I have no clue whether or not he's a good player, but based on the fact that he busted from the main event in like 1 hour and the number of times I saw him walk to the cage while playing cash games, I'd say he's probably not very good.

Anyone know if Peruvian prison games are juicy?
gotta be a level

Thread police ITT

I didn't bump this thread. I added new info about current developments.

Who cares? Hm. In a thread with 1400 replies? Hm ...

If it bothers you that much you should either get a Mod to lock the thread or you should stop clicking on it.
