About the same as a tourist like Singlet Sr. I thought hengheng's post above was ambiguous, but might imply that somebody other than the runaway had control of the funds and may pay the hospital. I would hope whoever is in control of the funds would be smart enough not to hand a wad of cash to some deadbeat, whether tourist or expat. And it seems these days hospitals are holding passports as collateral, providing some incentive for people to pay up.gavinmac wrote:What are the odds of a deadbeat expat who runs from a hospital actually paying that hospital with any funds raised on his behalf?

This sounds almost like the singlets, esp the dumb one.. .. but, i digress. Whomever set up the GoFundMe campaign is the only one able to disburse the funds, unfortunately the way GoFundMe works is that once you donate to them, there's no transparency on how the money is spent. So no telling if they'll pay the hospital (sounds like they might), (stupidly) send cash to Forest, try to get him home with said funds, or fuck right off to Amazon dot com with it and get a 4k TV to watch the Raiders pre-season games next month.
Personally I hope the bill for his deadbeat ass is paid, he's found, and gotten home safely.

Forest was spotted by a friend this morning on the back of a Moto on Monivong, a can of energy drink in each hand

Any update on Forest and on Nicholas O'Neill? Are they both still in Phnom Penh? Was O'Neill ever charged with a crime, or is a white guy beating up another white guy not a crime in Cambodia unless the victim has money to pay bribes for legal proceedings to be commenced?

OK, according to a February 2017 gofundme fundraising effort by Forest Carothers, he was attacked by O'Neill, he still has brain damage, he has been to court five times trying to sue/prosecute O'Neill, and O'Neill is or was sitting in prison as of February 2017, some six months after the incident.
He asked for $5,000; he raised $50.

The are 2 gofundme-pages for him. The first one made $5,245
"We were contacted by Calmette Hospital and Forest has run out of the hospital AMA. The current level of donations raised here should cover his ER and ICU stay Thank you everyone for your generous support."
I wonder if the first gofundme was ever used to go back to the U.S.A.
According to his current Facebook-account he is on Bali.

He did a runner from the hospital, collected 5k, and went to Bali?
