It does sound like the description of a teacher.

Not a teacher or educator. A highly educated high earning professional who should know better.

It's not a teacher. This is being widely discussed around town now that the cat is out of the bag on ToF's Darknet page.
It relates to what looks like a rather sad and sordid love triangle between this guy Vandewater, a pouty strumpet bar girl and the head of an expat law firm who, being married with kids, really should know better than to spend so much time with his sycophantic sidekick at shithole hole bars like Office and Rosies, plying impoverished farm girls with drinks to fill some kind of emotional void in their otherwise rich and varied lives.
Mark (or his agent) claim no financial extortion took place. Instead he got friendly with the girl and tried to be the white knight and protect her from the lawyer's allegedly unwanted advances. It seems his valour went so far as to hiring a detective to take pictures of the lawyer together with the bargirl (including them leaving a squalid Phnom Penh apartment together bright and early in the morning before getting into his company car) and then contacted the lawyer and told him the pics would be sent to his wife and family and all his staff members, if he didn't cease and desist from the relationship.
Pictures and even the text of the demand letter are being freely laughed about over beers around town.
The pictures of the girl and the lawyer together don't give the impression the advances were unwanted. Instead, they show signs of happy domesticity, with the handsome lawyer even gallantly carrying a Lucky supermarket bag of rubbish down in one hand, expensive briefcase in the other. The tight tee-shirted princess follows proudly behind.
Less funny is an allegation that the lawyer fabricated the financial aspect of the extortion to get this guy imprisoned. The draft of the letter posted by Gonk on CEO makes no claim of any financial demand for $10,000. That is some serious shit.

He took her to her apartment or does he keep a separate shagging pad?

The letter posted on CEO may not reference money but is threatening and blackmailing in its nature and the type of guy who would send such a letter is also they type who would send subsequent messages demanding money to keep quiet.
Perhaps the lawyer capitulated to the "stay away from Office Bar or I'll tell your wife about your gf" demand. Then the blackmailer decided "Shit I could make some money out of this."

Where's Crabtree? This is meat and taters to him.

Yes, that is not out of the question. I find it hard to believe the lawyer would be stupid enough to make up the financial extortion claim. If you're having a fling with a bargirl and someone threatens to expose you, wouldn't a sane intelligent man say 'ok, I'll dump her - plenty more bargirls to mess around with'. The threat is dealt with immediately.gavinmac wrote:@thischarmingman

But then again, who knows what goes through these guys' heads?

Those pictures of him together with the bargirl are different pictures of them leaving the same place. I don't think it's accurate to say there are pictures of them together.
But what the hell do I know, and it doesn't matter. People will be people.
