Default Medellin Mansion robbed at gunpoint?

I just heard about this, any details ?
Various posts are scattered about the internet on this, but what do you believe?, as the owner was not booted from Colombia as prevoiusly reported gossip.

Maybe Tinto knows?

I don't see much on the net about it although here is a post from poorbuthappy

""Account from Aussie Greg. Yep, robbery at 1.00am Friday night at the Mansion. Most of our guests were out partying, my ****en so called security guard let them into the foyer after they asked to see one of our guests (I think it was an inside job from one of the prepago's) it was a guy and a girl and after they got inside they pulled there guns on him, needless to say he doesn't work for us anymore, we now have a Colombian police detective on the job "armed". I guess it getiing like Rio now! Any questions, just ask."""""

STM,

A resident Gringo called me the other day and mentioned that the Mansion had an armed robbery occur recently. Just another reason why not to stay at the Mansion while visiting Medellin. That could have easily turned even more ugly with someone getting hurt or killed. Those guys should think about this who have or will consider using their services in the future.

Mongering gringos, lots of money, women who get paid for their time, a country where life is valued less than the money in your wallet. Gee, what could go wrong?
