I have seen quite a few guys from USA coming to DR and making friends with some newly rich dominican yorks or simply ghetto rich domincians who are spending insane amount of money on cars and building empty plazas, investing money on failed discos & bars. We have our fair share of these guys in santiago. They have brought huge sum of cash from usa and now don't know where to spend it. One guy drives a 1/2 million dollar car in santiago and owns various plazas and carwashes etc. I doubt if he is making money from any of his businesses in santiago. He owns a collection of fancy super expensive cars. If you meet him, you would be surprised to see, the guy's presence matches with a truck driver from the bronx. No education and rough appearance.
Another guy came (25 yrs old) who bought one of the most famous restaurants in santiago, failed in the beginning, then he ends up in jail in NY in a drug bust and now the place is running by his friend who bought the business and built it up differently. santiagueros know whom I am talking about. Then you have a guy who owns disco/bar where no one goes yet he drives a late model Hummer (the big one) and yet he is no more than 32 yrs old. He also looks like he is a high school dropout.
So where am i getting with all this:
these guys coming from dangerous backgrounds and are living the fast lives. Now all of the sudden they are dropping dead all around us. If you remember the young man from santiago who was in puerto plata to have a contract signed by a business man for building and installing some windows and doors on the newly built property. This was the day the business man was due a hit. The business man gets hit by the hitman and my friend from santiago goes down with him. Dead from the first bullet that hit him. bad luck? yes, being in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong guy.
Now we heard the owner of a bar in santiago where stripper girls dance was killed on highway. Then some musician from a tipica band was killed. now last week the famous young man who managed an up & coming bachata / balada group was shot dead right in his home parking lot. Wow, I knew the guy well. Nice guy, young and rich. he was also the owner of a disco in santiago which closed down. now the same disco is re-opened and run by another young dom-york with lots of money.
The last case was a sad case as I knew this guy personally. He was a nice guy but god knows why he was hit. I hate to guess why but we all know what goes on in santiago among a certain group of individuals.
This is why I stay away from chevas regal drinking dominican yorks with fancy hummers and porches. They invite me to beach and lakes where they take hot girls and spend afternoons in jet skies. No way jose, i would never go with them anywhere. I simply meet and greet them and then walk away. that's all. I don't even feel comfortable hanging out with the guy who owns property by the lake in my previous pictures. he is a nice guy but his friends are very shady. One never knows what can happen to these people and if I am with them, I go down just as easily. these guys are being watched by others, including the police, FBI, interpol and DNI.
Do not confuses these people with the rich families in this country who are well educated and their wealth comes from generations. the dominican york rich are all ghetto looking and speak street english and barrio spanish. they love to act rich by going to tribecca bar in santiago, upper level. they order expensive liquor, take along fake blonds from barrios, dress in 1000 dollar suits with crocodile shoes etc. they are usually surrounded by other deportees and barrio tigres. These guys are nice and if you speak english, they love to take you as friends. many new foreign guys are so impressed by their gesture and generosity they jump at the first invitation they give you.
all I am saying is. be careful. these guys live a fast, but short lives.
