"Victim was ambushed as he got out of an Uber during visit to crime-ridden NYC with his model wife"

Bu-bu-but it's still safer than the 90's

Quote:
Jamaux, a French native, was getting out of an Uber in Midtown with his wife and another woman when a mugger pulled out a gun and shot him
In the 90s they would pistol whip you and actually take the merchandise.

Now you get shot and die or paralyzed for life and they take nothing.

Improving NYC's international image! Potential foreign tourist read stories like this you know. Sounds like a job for Biden's Ministry of (dis)information!

They weren't even staying at a top hotel. One of the Affinia hotels, part of Sonesta. Blah.

Makes me wonder if the watch was real or a knock-off.

His description shows him as "influencer".

"Looking at Pierrick Jamaux's Instagram account, that boasts over 10k followers, the influencer travels around the world and has some expensive accessories that he boasts on his account, which have been turned private since the incident.

In one of the posts from December, he is seen wearing what looks like a Richard Mille watch. Luxury watches from the brand can cost up to $1 million and are a favorite among artists like Kanye West, Ed Sheeran, Chris Brown and many others."

He is also a self-styled "cryptoexpert".

I was wondering how the robber knew about him and the watch. It's all explained, of course. The guy broadcasts on social media the expensive things he has.

It's easy to know about the watch. But I wonder how the robber knew which Uber he was getting out of or if the savages were just scoping every Uber outside the hotel. Also, if the groin gunshot damaged his parts so much that his gold digger wife would leave him.

Could be someone at reception called up a shady friend when he recognized the guy from youtube. I don’t know about you, but I would gladly do without the watch, let go my nuts!

How does any of this matter? Is this the newest way to seventh-away NYC crime?

I can't speak for her, but I didn't interpret it that way. It just seems to be some observations about the victim being a bit of a tool/goofball.
