I strive to be this man in life. All week Dave has been talking about running out of moves and not sure how he is going to gamble. My guy here was at rock bottom and his golden ticket to get out of his debt was to kidnap himself. You know this was his first and only thought to get out of the hole. It wasn’t to ask for a loan from somebody or to just ask for a payment plan. You cant’t make fun of this guy going to extreme measures though because I would be lying if this didn’t cross my mind when I was down more money than I have had. It actually occurs at least twice a week where I fake my death to not pay and start a new life in Croatia.

He was in the backseat with a rope tied around his neck, the other end tied to the head rest. Duct tape was wrapped around his hands and ankles. He then spun a bizarre tale for troopers, who began an abduction and robbery investigation.
