Car dealer still missing weeks after abduction, $2M ransom demand

A California man abducted last month remains missing, as the FBI searches for clues and three suspects who demanded a $2 million in ransom, reports said. 

Ruochen "Tony" Liao, 28, was kidnapped July 16 in a San Gabriel shopping plaza, about 10 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, FBI officials said. 

Liao, who owns a Southern California luxury car dealership, had finished an evening meeting with business associates when three men abducted him. The men reportedly pulled up in two vehicles, a Toyota minivan and a Range Rover, officials said.

Why Haters Hate!

                                    Why Haters Hate!

Every person that is successful in the car business, be prepared for people like this!

Haters (n.) - people who disparage and denigrate other people and ideas to make themselves feel better. It is impossible for these people to be happy for other people's successes, so they nitpick on their perceived flaws.


It's impotent to note that the haters hate not because of valid reasons, but because of their own self-worth. They're usually miserable prats and spew their unhappiness on others merely because they can.

Avoid at all costs. They're negativity personified.

• 1 Because they want to be like you

  People who want to be like you but can't, might hate you. While a psychologically stable person will try to become better, an unstable person will just hate anyone who is better than him.
