The Cambodia Daily has identified the truck thieving American as Jacob Gadikian. His FB pages says he lives in Siem Reap and his LinkedIn page says he works in IT.

Gadikian makes weird youtube videos advocating for crypto currency and offers some interesting thoughts about Cambodia and Siem Reap:
He likes Cambodia because there's no regulation and he can drive without interacting with police and without worrying about being arrested.
He also opines that "Cannabis is some great stuff." No kidding.
I'm getting a distinct "OrangeDragon" vibe from this guy.

The CD article says he's "about 50." That's mean. He's actually 33.

Hi Jacob Gadikian here.
First of all, I wanted to thank you for this. I cannot tell you the number of times that I have seen this forklift picture and laughed my ass off. thank you so much for a little humor in this obviously quite trying s*** show that I kicked off.
While the fact of the matter is I have certainly done more than my fair share of drugs in my day, a crazy thing is that I had not been on drugs the day that I stole the truck.
I didn't know it at the time, but seems that I suffer from bipolar disorder, a really nasty kind, and to be quite honest with you, I didn't know where the f*** I was or what the f*** was going on, but I did think that I needed to steal transportation and drive to China, where I would be inducted into some kind of crazy society of hackers trying to save the world from internet censorship.
Go figure.
Actually, the craziest part about all of this, is that I did not die that day.
The second craziest part about all this is that I'm not sitting in some jail in Cambodia right now. I still can't really explain that fact. But I'm really grateful for it.
You see, the coolest part about being as lucky as I am, is that it is now pretty much impossible for me to have a bad day.
Imagine: You survived all of that, your freedom is intact. You got married to the woman who chased you around for 3 months while you were completely insane, and had a cute little kid and gave him an Armenian name.
You literally lost everything just under 4 years ago, and you built yourself back up and even built a decent career.
Point blank, I am the luckiest person in the world.
Sure, it's been a lot of hard work, I needed to see a bunch of doctors, I take medication, specifically lithium, to make sure that my brain doesn't explode again, but the fact is, I am just unreasonably lucky.
The fact that I even got the opportunity to do all of this hard work, that's where I'm lucky. So every day, I wake up quite happy now.
And once again, thank you so much for the forklift/white girl pic. I quite literally laugh out loud every time I see it. It took three and a half years for me to have the balls to reply to this post but yeah hey, here I am. Alive, and free, and sober, and not crazy, and I even have a cute little fellow and a blockchain that I launched this summer.

I don't know I just figured that one day I go and tell the story so there it is. You all have a very nice day.

Yup. Luckiest dude in the world right here.kansaicanuck wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2017 12:34 am

Quite.
In fact, I had spent three days trying to steal motorcycles, and got my ass kicked a number of times. Again, I just thought that I needed to steal transportation and get to China so that I could join a shadowy secret society that was going to save the world.
Of course. Cause that makes sense right?
By the way, it is my understanding that the owner of the truck declined to press charges against me, and that is why I'm not sitting in jail right now.
I would like to give him a gift. From the bottom of my heart. Can anyone help me find him?

I don't know who orange dragon is, but as you can probably tell from that video, I was a bit insane even then. I'd say that it was about a 6-month decline into pure madness.gavinmac wrote: ↑Mon Jun 05, 2017 8:38 amGadikian makes weird youtube videos advocating for crypto currency and offers some interesting thoughts about Cambodia and Siem Reap:

I do indeed like the more relaxed lifestyle in Cambodia. Indeed, I am not a fan of American monetary policy or business regulation, but as an American, well that's just something I have to deal with.
I still think that cannabis is great, but I don't smoke it anymore.
Apparently one of the users of blurt, the blockchain platform that I set up this summer, is making a strain called Blurt Bud, he is a farmer in one of the US legalized states.
I told the community that if I ever make it back to North America, I will stop at his place and have a toke broadcast live on youtube. But that's the exception. And I feel quite comfortable making an exception for a weed strain named after my blockchain.

The young reporter was quite correct. I didn't know that anybody actually got the story correct. I thought that everybody just assumed that I was high out of my mind. I don't blame them for assuming that.
Anyhow, that was exactly the situation, as I was standing there in handcuffs, I remember, thinking it was all a part of "the movie", and "receiving messages from my environment".
Oddly, I was not at all concerned.
