I guess some battles are not worth the fight
If I had $1 for every expat who mouthed off about who he knew, only to wilt when it comes under the test of reality.
If an expat loses his exec job, his prestigious Amcham position and the support of your powerful in-laws who provided that inflated sense of worth, not to mention having been publicly ridiculed for a farcical bribe attempt, all in the space of a few months, it’s hard to claim you still have influence in Phnom Penh
