He wasn't wrong. I have a few Chinese and Vietnamese customers of mine who lost everything they had and went back to their country. The previous owner of big Chinese Supermarket on Kennedy just north of 14 th ave was my regular customer. One day he won big and bought two new Mercedes ML SUVs. One for him and one for his wife. 2 months later he went back to sell them back at Mercedes and he wanted cash in 5 hrs. Mercedes doesn't do business that way. It takes at least a day or two to get the cheque. They have to submit the bills of purchase to head office on Eglinton. The guy couldn't wait cuz the loan sharks were after him. So Mercedes manager sent him to me and I bought them out.
Another guy was Saigon restaurant on Dundas at Spadina. He just disappeared and later found out hiding in Vietnam.
One Filipino lady the same, won 786,000 at Niagara casino. bought a ML63 AMG from me and a house. About 6 months later she came back and tried to sell the car to me, but I didn't buy it back cuz the Filipino broker sales man from Lexus marked up $6,000 more on our car and ripped that poor lady off. I didn't have the heart to low balled her. I just told her we were over stocked and won't be able to buy anything for 2 weeks. I was told she lost her house too after 3 months later. If you go look at Casinos, all you will find the majority inside are Chinese, Viets and Filipinos.
I was agreeing with him...
Just meant he was stating the obvious.
