0:00 what I don't get is why didn't she just kill herself why did she have to kill other people to that's what I don't get either I don't get the motivation by for like killing the partners so that's the room with the food and then you can also see in the following photo what a waste of good food I thought you going to say like human lives that was the third [Music] thing all right so something really uh dark and harrowing I believe of the descriptive words uh happened recently at a luxury thae hotel where at first six people were just found dead oh sh six people way this happened at the Luxury Grand Hyatt aroan Hotel and this happened like this last Tuesday so just a few days ago ongoing investigation they were found

0:51 dead in their hotel room and at first what had happened was there they had like room service so when the food comes out in the hotels in the room service it's like covered with like Saran Wrap and stuff like that and they got their drinks but all these people are found just deadline around it but the Saran Wrap was still covering the food so so they weren't poisoned they had never eaten the food but the drinks had been drunk no yeah so everybody was like uh like senel yeah that's what I was thinking they were just wondering like was this suicide or was this murder so that was a question but then as a couple more things got uncovered it's starting to to lean towards the ladder of murder and and and and they were Vietnamese it was a Vietnamese Thailand who is the who is the suspect at the

1:41 moment there's a Vietnamese so it it's actually a US citizen uh her name is Shireen Chong aged 56 she's thought to have poisoned herself and five other people with cyanide oh ████ what it's apparently after she accured huge debts related to an investment in a hospital in Japan so apparently she convinced these five other people to go in on this investment and then the investment went sour and they yeah because Japanese people don't get sick they're very healthy very strong am me they live a long time it's the worst place to invest in the hospital you should have done it in like Houston Texas or something I know it's not the Maternity Ward is a freaking desert there's no babies but they might not have been able to afford a Houston Texas hospital they should have done it there yeah she allegedly convinced a married couple and two other victims among the dead to uh put funds into this project

2:33 but they reportedly lost roughly in their currency 10 million bot or about $280,000 as a result oh ████ so it was from the guilt of like ████ up this thing maybe she couldn't break the news so she was like maybe I'll just we'll just celebrate with death why do she have to kill everybody why did you just what the heck yeah why don't you just kill yourself it's the same thing to you when you're dead viese ████ are crazy maybe they're a bunch of ████ talk friends who were like yeah I told you not to V that ████ Hospital oh yeah so she's de too CH doesn't sound vietnames by the way but she killed herself and I thought it was six Vietnamese uh Nationals died is three males and three females of Vietnamese origin aged between 37 and 56 they had uh been seen uh alive last when the food was delivered to their room uh and the

3:23 group arrived at the hotel hotel a day earlier but Monday they all moved into Chong Suite room 502 there's footage obtained by the Vietnamese media revealed that moment uh that the five victims made their way to the room unbeknownst to them that that would be the place of their deaths can you imagine not knowing somebody well enough to where they could potentially kill you with Cyanide and you trust them like that's crazy the suspected killer Chong uh was described as stressed by Hotel staff was seen wearing a colorful pattern dress in the hotel lift security footage hours before meeting the rest of the group sta delivered food ordered by one member of the group at 2 p.m. on Monday afternoon along with pots of tea they offered to brew and serve the drinks but Chong allegedly declined telling him she would Brew it herself and then all six people were

4:15 found dead by Hotel staff a day later so she killed herself too crazy because they didn't check out postmortem test confirmed traces of cyanide were found in the cups and in the B of the victims two of whom including Chong were American citizens you know it tells me she has very low self-esteem why because so many billionaires have been bankrupt multiple times in their lives and then they recover and for her she doesn't have the confidence to go I ████ up but you know what I'll come back again but there's also like you know the billionaire who like had like billions and lost like millions and it's like they can come back but then there's some people who had like nothing and like made one giant bet mhm I just can't believe like what makes somebody kill all of their Partners in the investment like even the Enron guys didn't throw everyone else out the building I think she was too

5:05 embarrassed it's easier to die than to but then you but then your legacy is You're a murderer too in addition to being a someone that committed Su maybe she too dumb and doesn't realize that after death it'll be like they're going to find out she's going to be oh they're going to feel sorry for us because we got sick that just seems like an infinitely worse thing than losing someone's money I think some people are way more scared of social shame and they rather die like living with the the social shame and that embarrassment what about the murder well they're already dead so they probably don't even care well you're not living with the murder what I don't understand is why you think you all of them kill themselves no no no no like she doesn't care cuz she's already dead but what I don't get is why didn't she just kill herself why did she have to kill other people that's what I don't get either I don't get the motivation by for like killing the partners so that's

5:56 the room with the food and then you can also see in the following photo what a waste of good food I thought you going to sa like human lives that was the third thing going to say he's like what a waste of Pat tie bar would have thrown it away anyways dud jeez man that's just perfectly like I'm just if I was the cook I'd be like bro if you're going to kill somebody just order the tea why did you make me work all this they didn't even get to taste my milk Cherry yeah he could have been like oh at least eat me first and then maybe makes it more believable the news people like this Cook's crazy let's interview someone else or what if the cook is what if the they like the last thing they did was eat all this Cooks food and he's like oh Fu I killed him that's not why I don't think that's why that's not why Michel and

6:46 stared most murder suicides are like family based too like it's funny to see it with like Investment Partners yeah I know weird yeah and what order right cuz murder suicide is usually like like bang and then Bang I wonder it's like everyone drink this and then and then everyone starts like passing out and then she's like fine my turn is it like you guys know how fast cyanide is of a killer like is it like almost 2.5 seconds I mean it definitely went to a point where they didn't even open their food I would assume that if all the food and the tea was there it's like you would drink some tea and then somebody's definitely like can we eat you know what I mean remember who was it one of the Nazi guys like got taken into custody and like just s capsuled himself he was like dead quick damn 2.5 seconds I made that up but obviously it's quick that's that's always like the ████

7:37 the chewing your teeth ████ right it's like immediate yeah I mean the uh I don't get it associate professor or head of Department of forensic medicine said the victim's lips and nails had turned dark purple indicating a lack of oxygen while their internal organs exhibited a blood red appearance another characteristic sign of cyanide poisoning so real lips and fingernails turn purple is a sign of O lack of oxygen they should make cide illegal they said they said a mass suicide was unlikely because some of the victims had arranged future things for their trip such as guides and drivers they didn't even get to do that they just got in can you imagine you going to Vacation you go oh I'm going to take a picture with a monkey and I'm going to ████ buy some banana leaf like dessert or whatever and then you're like so excited and then you just ████ think about what you're going to do later and then you drink that ████

8:27 and you're like man you die like they get to take a picture with the monkey that like gropes him the whole time yeah yeah get monkey stud glasses dude that guy's the best man he just starts ████ touching the titties he starts reaching over ████ grabbing titties and making a bounce and ████ no way yeah he's the best and he he needs train so he smiles while he does he's like s███'s the best I se that video of the guy fighting a monkey you see guy he has long hair and he says a monkey and the monkey punches him and he's like he punches the monkey he starts scrapping with disrespecting me dude yeah what the ████ and he runs up on the monkey that's a little lighter than this story so I brought that up a little bit a little bit of gear shift I wonder if if this person had any social cues that made them seem like a person that could murder suicide ████ or if they were just like dead normal the whole way of the relationship you know what I mean what are you picking up on what are you

9:17 looking for if for that type of person well I'm assuming if the invest investment wasn't going to go sour why would there be like a social cue for that like you know like some people with a potential to do stuff just kind of seem ████ Weir weird yeah what if it's like they sit down for tea and then some and they take this first step and this person's like so guess what I was waited till now to tell you I secured funds for this no no no I got the check we're Gucci baby it's like Romeo and Juliet I wanted to wait I wanted to wait till we were here and the food was here oh and everyone's like no dude I wonder what her pitch was I got a hospital in Japan I guess that's it yeah can't lose if you told me you can invest in a hospital even I'm like that's crazy I'm in yeah I'm listening especially America oh yeah in America ████ of money

10:08 printing machine everybody thinks especially in America but in Japan it seems like it's a bad place that's why you got to buy when the blood's in the street you know exactly by low byy low yeah didn't you say that it's the best time to travel when there's like a disaster or like a crisis Ukraine great deals go to expedia.com yeah dude Bitcoin is 52,000 like 3 weeks ago everyone's ████ noobs 68,000 right now can you imagine if if Anthony was like hey I think this would be a great video and the video bombs and he kills us all why you got to bring me into it like cuz that's like the how stupid it is that's how dumb it is it's like you're going to kill everybody over a Fai like yeah I just can't imagine like being so embarrassed that I ████ up that I have to kill everybody along with me you're going to Hur just kill yourself why you

10:58 got to kill everybody the families of all of these individual people have to be hurt for the rest of their lives just cuz your modem doesn't work doesn't you have to unplug mine just unplug yours like what the ████ it's complicated to measure selfishness when you're already doing something selfish though right like it's not like you can compartmentalize it and rationalize like hey you're going to selfishly kill yourself anyway so just be don't don't be selfish more than that you know what I mean it's like such a bigger thing yeah that's why it does seem like maybe there was a lot of ████ talking or they hated them or there was something like yeah maybe there was like an Adamas maybe they get busting balls too it's like it's like in a funny way oh yeah but like oh at least didn't put money in the hospital you know in Japan every time Le cheap out of my house am I right oh hey dude that's your ████ is that is that your Japanese hospital that's your
