   Brother Detained, Landlord Demands Compensation

   Last night, a brother was sent back to retrieve his luggage but was detained by the landlord for using a computer, which violated the rules. This resulted in the landlord being fined $10,000. The landlord is now demanding compensation, initially $10,000 but reduced to $3,000. The brother's family won't pay, so it's up to others to gather the money and bring him back. If not, the Cambodians may detain him, increasing the price to $30,000.
