Rich people who are out of touch

It ended with a twist

My friend was kidnapped in Cambodia while on vacation. He was in Cambodia for several months, and spent the majority of his time drinking alcohol and visiting clubs. He was a drunk who spent most of his time in clubs and bars. The story ended in a twist.

He was lucky that the person who managed his trust had enough connections to make some important calls. The kidnappers released him when a local dignitary arrived with a personal security force that was essentially an army.
