The Mansion Incident #2

[Code Pinker]

The mansion robbery was an inside job. There is no way it was a random act. Anyone who thinks otherwise does not know anything about Medellin.

First, the mansion is in a very secure part of Poblado. No robber is going to go into that area without knowing exactly who and what they are robbing. If some thief was to go into the "wrong" house they would end up dead quickly. Or if they went into the "really wrong" house their entire family would end up dead quickly. Poblado probably has more hardcore mafia players living in it then any other place in the world. Not only are the mafia guys living in Poblado but so are their mothers and families. Before doing any type of home invasion in Poblado you better know exactly where you are hitting.

Next, these robbers took the time to tie everyone up and go room to room getting laptops and other things. The police in Poblado could have responded to a call at the mansion in less than 2 minutes. These robbers were very confident in that they were doing. So they somehow knew that no one at the mansion knew how to call the police and that there was no automatic alarm system. Or, perhaps they knew that the police were not going to respond. If it is the later then you can bet the police or someone important have already targetted the mansion. If the mansion has been targetted then it's days are numbered. This will not be the last robbery. Indeed, this will be the "warning" for something much worse to happen if the mansion does not get it's act togther.

This was absolutely a planned robbery by professionals. More than likely it was done by some paracos. It is the paracos that guard Majorista so they clearly know about the mansion given the Walmart Gringos love Majorista so much. The paracos probably contacted the local police in Poblado and got the green light to do this robbery. If that is the case then the police have decided the mansion has to go. This is how things work in Colombia.

It has been said before, and it needs to be said again and again. The problem here is not that the mansion has hookers in it. That is perfectly permitable in Colombia. The problem here is the LOWLIFE gringos who are staying in places like the mansion. These losers think they are so smart because they can find some drugged out street girl for $20. However, what you idiots bring with your little sweethearts is the lowest of the low in Medellin.

It was only a matter of time until something like this happened. As I understand it the robbers got many thousand of dollars in computer equipment, cameras, cash and a shitload of other things. These guys are all up in the barrio right now bragging to other thieves about how they cleaned out these stupid gringos. Most Colombians make minimal wage which is around $300 a month. These guys scored a couple years salary in an hours work. There WILL be more coming once the word gets out.

Medellin is going to quickly become very dangerous for gringos once all the robbers know how easy it is to score big time with these idiots. And who do we have to thank for our new status? Of course the answer very clearly is the Walmart Gringos. You idiots thought you were so smart finding ghetto girls but now the ghetto shit you attracted is going to hunt you fuckers down.

I think every gringo in Medellin should go out tonight and punch a Walmart Gringo in the face. When you see one walking around Parque Lleras with his ghetto hooker just walk over and sucker punch the retard. You idiots are fucking up Medellin for the rest of us! Go the fuck back to Walmart where you belong and stay the fuck out of my city!

Yep, robbery at 1.00am Friday night at the Mansion.

Most of our guests were out partying, my fucken so called security guard let them into the foyer after they asked to see one of our guests (I think it was an inside job from one of the prepago's) it was a guy and a girl and after they got inside they pulled there guns on him, needless to say he doesn't work for us anymore, we now have a Colombian police detective on the job "armed".

I guess it getiing like Rio now!

Any questions, just ask.

Until he chimes in, I'll take this with a grain of salt.

well believe it amigo. my brother was at the castillo when it happened and the police came running to the castillo thinking it got hit too.

i was with one of the partners the next day in miami.

i'm sure, and this is obvious, that way upgraded security measures are in store.

i know of robberies just like this one in cali and another place in medellin.

doesn't have to be street chicas that some guy alluded to in a post here to put the word out about rich gringos in a hotel.

just as easily could have been a typical mansion chica, they're poor too, a maid, a delivery man, a construction worker, there's many of them.

good luck greg and the boys getting the place up to speed.

Well, here I was worrying that DAS and DHS were keeping an eye on the Mansion but it looks like some other people were keeping an eye on them too. . .

Could there have been a disgruntled former employee or, ahem, recently fired security guard that helped this group plan this heist?

Or are certain people "up there" in Poblado and elsewhere in Medellin sending a message by "letting" the Mansion get robbed?

Or maybe it was just the recent TV segment about gringos chasing chicas and coke in MDE and which briefly showed the Mansion that got the antenna up of the wrong kind of people?

Or maybe just after years of guys thinking they're money-saving geniuses bringing low-end putas from the poorest barrios into the Mansion, the word gets around. . . to the young guys in those barrios. The ones that don't have a job or at least not a legit one if you know what I mean.

Whatever the case is, quite frankly, I'm amazed a place like the Mansion has been able to operate for as long as it has without running into more trouble. Can't speak for Thailand and the rest of SEA as I don't know that region at all, but the idea of a gringo owning and operating a venue with P4P ties in SA just sounds like an iffy proposition at best, right from the get go. It's a testament to Greg and crew he's been able to play this game for as long as he has; but a month ago I posted here a warning about MM getting too high-profile, yet most ISG members just shrugged it off. Well, there you go guys! :)

The worst part is losing the passport. You have no other option but to go to the embassy in Bogota.

Mansion robbed last night!

I have a good friend visiting Colombia right now and is staying at the Mansion. I received this email from him this morning.

And this guy doesn't believe that the police are corrupt in Colombia? Please. Police presence does not always equate safety. By no means. If police corruption exists in the U. S. , it certainly does in Colombia. Think about it!

If this is true it is such a shame as I have traveled all over the world and Greg and company's establishment is the best I have ever been fortunate enough to have stayed at, bar none. Greg,if you want to start a collection up for the guests that lost their things I volunteer to be the first donor.

"Well not good news. The Mansion was robbed tonight, 3 people tied up, guns to their heads and most of all room safes were opened, personal PC's, cameras, PASSPORTS, credit cards, cash, all were stolen.

I was lucky I was out tonight and came home to it. Of course I am one of the lucky ones, I lost ALL the above mentioned items. I guess I am glad to be alive, along with all others. I do not think I will be returning here again.

Its late (4AM) and I am going to try to get some sleep. I guess I/we have to fly to Bogata to the American Embassy to get new passports, not sure how we will pay for it, or what the Mansion will do. Will keep you informed as more unfolds."

Having been to Medellin (last year) and having stayed at the Mansion this just blows my mind. The Mansion is in the best part of town and there are M-16 carrying police everywhere in that area. Unfucking believable!

A good budy of mine told me that the Masion got robbed again on Friday?

Passports, laptops, etc were stolen from guests. Is this true?
