SPEAKER_01:Good evening, Greedy Mofo fans. Welcome back. Hope you're having a great day, great week, great 2026. We have a good story for you this evening.
SPEAKER_02:My weekend was good. My weekend was really good. Um caught up on football. So you know, just kind of chilling, watch the Golden Globes. And you know how I am every time award season comes around. I'm like, I will be there next year. I want to have my film nominated. So that got me going. So maybe I just need to come up with an idea for a film for greedy mofos. And then maybe I might show up at the Golden Globes that we can be at the Academy Awards. Ah, good, good goals, good goals. Let's do it. Excellent goals.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, well, as you know. Oh, it was good. Good. Kind of relaxed, did some park, uh, watched football, did not watch the Golden Globes.
SPEAKER_02:Um didn't miss much. I mean, it was okay. You didn't miss much though.
unknown:See only calls.
SPEAKER_01:So okay, well, as you listeners know, I'm Pippa, and that is Aston, and we are going to talk about another set of greedy mofos, not just one this time, kind of like last week. Um, we didn't know who the true greedy mofo was. We speculated, but this week's crime of discussion, we know exactly who the greedy mofos are. And boy, they are pieces of work. Um, so Hassan, do you want me to just jump right in and tell you about this um gruesome crime?
SPEAKER_02:I'm anxious to hear because I have no clue who you're talking about.
SPEAKER_01:Alrighty. Okay. Well, we are hopping over to Hong Kong, and um, this crime took place back in February of 2023. This um beautiful model influencer social life, 28 years old, mom of four. Her name is Abby Choi.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, this is a good one.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, yeah, you've heard about it. So um she dropped her daughter off at school, um, got into the vehicle. It was a it was her car, and she had a hired driver, so that's a key point. So keep that in mind. So anyway, um, she was going through a divorce from her husband Alex, whom she married at age 18, had two kids, and after three years, um they separated but never divorced, and she met someone else, and they had a ceremony, so it it's it's not a legal marriage, but in her mind and her heart, she was married and had two more kids. So two kids with Alex and two kids with Chris, still legally married to Alex. And um on this day in February, uh, she was reported missing when she did not pick up her daughter from school. And three days later, part of her body was discovered in an apartment, and um it was her torso and some ribs and her skull. Um the torso, some body parts were found hidden in the refrigerator, and uh the skull and some ribs, and and some ribs. I don't know where the rest of her ribs went, but they were in a pot and they were they they made soup out of this poor girl. Okay, wait a minute.
SPEAKER_02:So you're saying that she was a model, so was she rich?
SPEAKER_01:Uh she made a lot of money. Uh, from what I understand, she had um a nice chunk of assets. She had a luxury apartment and probably some cash. I I have not dug in to see the amount of assets, but she did have a luxury apartment and some money, which when we start talking about the motive and who did this, it's it it'll kind of make sense to okay.
SPEAKER_02:So she was a model, okay, and you say she was an influencer, was she and a socialized was she was she very popular and well known?
SPEAKER_01:She had globally, she would go to Paris Fashion Week, she was in like um fashion magazines, I think L magazine, um, and she had like a hundred thousand Instagram followers. So she was at age 28. Um, that's a pretty good size following back in 2023. Had she still been alive, that probably would have grown to, you know, a couple million by now.
SPEAKER_00:So she didn't spot her wedding.
SPEAKER_02:Did her first husband have any money?
SPEAKER_01:Um that I have not read whether he did or not, but he he and her family did love to spend her cash. So that hired um you know, I don't think he which she wasn't technically married to the second husband. So there was not a legal, they were not legally um married. So she really only had uh one husband ever, uh except in her heart, she had a second husband.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, so basically you're saying that she was going somewhere one day, and she was probably we don't know where she was going, but because they didn't she didn't pick up her daughter from school, somebody called and thought it was strange and reported her missing.
SPEAKER_01:Yes, so the last time she was seen, she dropped off her daughter at school and got back in her car that had a hired driver, which was her brother-in-law. That the last yes, her her husband Alex, her legal husband Alex, his brother. And when the police they discovered her body, they investigated this vehicle that she owned and hired a driver. They found in that car chainsaws, her blood, and hammers.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, I have a question. Okay, how did they find her body? I mean, how long was she missing before they found her body parts?
SPEAKER_01:Three days.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, three days.
SPEAKER_01:So I guess it linked back to uh this apartment where she was found, and from what I understand, her father-in-law rented that apartment.
SPEAKER_00:We have seven suspects, so let me tell you who the suspects are.
SPEAKER_01:First two arrested were her father-in-law and her mother-in-law. Okay, because she had a luxury apartment that she bought and it was in her name initially, then she put it in her father-in-law's name. So I think as she was going through the legal proceedings of the divorce, she was going to try to put that luxury apartment back in her name. They were gonna lose out on this that I mean, she was basically their bank. She was basically their bank.
SPEAKER_02:So, okay, so answer this. Where what where did she live when they reported her missing?
SPEAKER_01:She lived with Chris, her new husband, but she still well, new not legal husband, yes, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:So her new luxury apartment wasn't where she lived. That wasn't where they found the body.
SPEAKER_01:No, it was in a different apartment that wasn't Chris's apartment. No, no, no, it was rented by her father-in-law, and his mistress was the real estate agent where they found that her the soup, basically. I mean, this is this is not funny, it's gruesome, but it's kind of funny. It's very sad what they did to her. So, okay, so they still have not found her hands and the rest of some body parts. So they found the headless body, the headless corpse, the torso, the torso, the skull and the ribs wore the soup.
SPEAKER_02:And so uh so her flesh was boiled off of her skull?
SPEAKER_01:Yes. Okay. Yes. So there are seven suspects: the father-in-law, the mother-in-law, the husband, who went on a the police went on a manhunt looking for him. He evaded, and they found him after three or four days. The brother-in-law, who was her driver, who she she paid.
SPEAKER_00:She paid this driver. She took care of this guy's family. And um and they murdered her, even though she was taking care of them. Yeah. Okay, so that's four suspects.
SPEAKER_01:A fifth suspect was um the the mistress, a sixth suspect was an employee of a yacht company. So that tells me her body is somewhere out in the bay. Um, and the seventh, oh my gosh, the seventh suspect was well.
SPEAKER_02:I'm confused as how an employee of the yacht company would be a suspect, unless I mean she either knew him or she didn't, or one of the other suspects used him as an accomplice to dispose of her.
SPEAKER_01:Yes, that's exactly what happened. Her her in-laws hired him to dispose of her body, and then the seventh suspect was um Irene, I believe another mistress of her father.
SPEAKER_02:Of her father-in-law.
SPEAKER_01:Yes. Okay.
SPEAKER_02:So wait a minute. This is where this is where the stupidity comes in. Okay. Okay. So the father-in-law was married, and her the mother-in-law is a suspect. And so the mother-in-law either knows or found out about the two mistresses, and then they're also involved as suspects. So either he had an open marriage or the mother-in-law was just stupid.
SPEAKER_01:Um, or she just didn't care. Who who knows? Who knows? So, um yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Okay. Now, this is a this this is a whole timeline issue. I'm having trouble following. So somebody reported her missing. Yes. So if they reported her missing, normally when you report somebody missing, it has to be after 48 hours. So did they report her missing immediately after the she didn't pick up the daughter? Or did they not, did they wait the 48 hours or close to 48 hours?
SPEAKER_01:Well, I'm sure it was it, I'm sure it was reported immediately that afternoon when she did not pick up her daughter. And then it got to the new husband, uh, the boyfriend, his name is Chris. And then he when she never showed up, they probably began investigating pretty quickly because of the nature of her not showing up to pick up her child. So I don't know if that 48-hour rule is the same in Hong Kong as it is here. And even here, it's not a it's not a uh uh an actual rule. It's it's a rule of thumb, but there are circumstances where if you know they're extenuating circumstances where if it's truly out of character for someone to not not return. But I think with small children, her not picking up her small child, that would probably prompt the police to go and all of this happened in Hong Kong. Yes, all in Hong Kong.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, so so the investigation led immediately to finding her body chopped up somewhere within three days.
SPEAKER_01:It took them three days to find her body. So I'm sure what happened is they since she owned the car that dropped her off at the school, I'm sure there are cameras, and so they the police found out that her brother-in-law, soon-to-be ex-brother-in-law, was her driver. And then they found the hammers, the uh blood, and a chainsaw in the vehicle and knives, and so they probably tracked it somehow to this apartment, you know, CCTV. It it's they've got that kind of like they do in London, right?
SPEAKER_02:So I'm so the driver was the first one arrested.
SPEAKER_01:Um the father-in-law and mother-in-law were the first arrested. Um, so um, yeah, I I'm a little iffy on on the timeline as well, because um, let's see, they arrested the father-in-law first and the mother-in-law.
SPEAKER_02:And that the driver who drove the car that had the blood.
SPEAKER_01:He was he was the fourth suspect. The husband was the third arrested. Actually, he could have already been a person of interest, but they just didn't make the arrest until the father-in-law. So they probably found out the apartment was in the father-in-law's name, then they arrested the father-in-law and the mother-in-law, and then the the husband, then the brother-in-law, um, then the mistress, the employee, and then the other mistress. Yeah, it's convoluted. So, but back to the father-in-law, he was a former police officer at another layer of um scandal. He was a police officer who had been accused of rape, and he also had a lengthy rap sheet for theft. So, just a bad person.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, what was his motive?
SPEAKER_01:Money and that luxury apartment is what they're speculating. So, I mean, this just happened three years ago. So, I'm sure the trials are still ongoing. Um, uh, some are out on bail. Um, I think the brother-in-law was not given bail. I think he's still awaiting trial. The the husband, Alex, um, skipped bail. Um, but he got while he's awaiting trial for the murder, he was charged with some other crimes. Um, so this family, they are just they are just screwed up.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, so I'm thinking that either she had a large life insurance policy. I haven't heard anything about that, but could have. Yeah, but whatever money she was making as an influencer, they wouldn't get any of that unless she had it in the bank and she saved it and it turned out to be a nice large sum. Is the luxury apartment in Hong Kong as well? Yes, okay, but we don't know the value of it, uh real estate.
SPEAKER_01:I do. All I know it was luxury, like a high-rise apartment. So I'm sure it was worth a significant amount.
SPEAKER_02:Did she have a good relationship with her in-laws?
SPEAKER_01:She did. She was she still had she employed her ex-brother-in-law as her driver. She had gave them that luxury apartment, but I think she wanted to take it back. Um, so she was probably negotiating while she was going through that divorce to get it put back in her name. So I don't know the laws in Hong Kong. I don't know. I mean, here in the States, once you put something in someone's name, you can't like take it back. So I don't know the laws if maybe they had something in writing that upon divorce it reverts back to her. Maybe um what I read, maybe they said put it in his name, maybe maybe they meant in a lease. I I don't know, but anyway, he had. Use of at the at the very minimum this luxury apartment, plus she kept paying them money. She was she was helping fund their lifestyle.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, I wonder if he was using the luxury apartment with his mistresses.
SPEAKER_01:I'm sure. Or maybe may uh well, actually, probably not, because that's probably where the mother-in-law lived, because he had this other apartment where they found her body that was in his name as a rental. So that's probably where he was seeing his mistresses. So who was living in the luxury apartment? I am speculating that the father-in-law and the mother-in-law were living there, but he stepped out and probably rented his little side piece places.
SPEAKER_02:Well, based on well, since the trial is still ongoing, and I haven't dug deep into finding, you know, more facts on this particular case per se. Yeah. But just from what you've told me, I'm sorry, but these are some really stupid, greedy mofos. Because I'm like, unless you know how much money that you're actually going to get, or how wealthy she was, or if there's a life insurance policy, and the husband wasn't the beneficiary, and it's all going to the kids. I I it just doesn't make sense to me that you will go to that extreme of a murder, cutting somebody up unless they just really pissed you off, or they get a lot, a lot of money. And I'm talking like a lot of money, like almost a hundred million dollars or something.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I don't think it's that much money, but to me, they're being greedy for no reason for that luxury. Well, I I think it goes a little beyond that because when you think of a luxury apartment that they probably thought they were gonna get to live in forever, um, and it was probably in a very it was in a really good area of Hong Kong, very like like in Houston, the River Oak section, you know, I would say like New York City, Upper East Side. I mean, it was it was very luxurious, and so to them that was probably worth at least a million dollars. And now during the trial, the the mother has filed um some kind of injunction, um, some kind of lawsuit to try to get it put back or to prevent them from selling it. So because with her having uh a husband by you know, like some kind of ceremony, but then having a legal husband um who conspired to murder her. I mean, this I mean, her poor mother, her poor kids, her poor husband who really loved her. Um so who has the kids now?
SPEAKER_02:I'm sure I'm sure well Well, it can't be the in-laws and it can't be the first husband.
SPEAKER_01:Right. So I'm sure the second husband has them and maybe her mother. So I don't know if the second husband has the two older kids that aren't his, but he might, you know, he may I mean because the I mean, she had the first child when she was 18 with Alex, so and she was 28 when she was murdered, so that oldest child is not more than 10, you know, or maybe even nine at the time. So all the kids were nine or ten and under. So maybe the other husband is taking custody of them.
SPEAKER_02:I don't know. So, in your opinion, out of all the seven suspects, who is the greediest mofo?
SPEAKER_01:Oh my gosh. I think the father-in-law, I'm sure the father-in-law manipulated Alex into doing this. I I just that's what I feel. I feel like the father-in-law because he had the mistresses, he had the rape charge, he had the rap sheet. Um, I feel like it was him. I think he orchestrated the whole thing and got both of his sons, her hired driver. So when she dropped off her child at school and got back in that car, her brother-in-law, the the brother of her first husband, probably, you know, kidnapped her and then took her to the apartment and murdered her and cut up her body.
SPEAKER_02:See, and I would take it from a different angle. Even though he was a cop that had a bad rap sheet, right? If he was gonna kill somebody, he probably would have done a better job. Well, either either either laying the evidence on someone else, so someone else would look guilty, or her body wouldn't be as easy to find, even though he did rent the apartment in his name. I'm thinking it was her ex-husband and her brother-in-law colluded together, realized they fucked up, went and ran to dad, the former cop, and he tried to help cover it up some kind of way, but they all got involved and got caught. That's the only way he would have pulled the mistresses into it. Hey, I need you to do this for me, I need you to lie about this, I need you to do this, or something. And then everybody just kind of got that's the way I'm interpreting it since the trial is still ongoing. I'm gonna have to see if I can find the trial transcripts and stuff. But to me, I'm thinking it's the ex-husband.
SPEAKER_01:That's a good point. Very good point. Now, they did say he was a former cop, so he may not have been a very good one, you know. Maybe he was fired because of the rape charge and all the yeah, but he still knows he still knows about evidence.
SPEAKER_02:I mean, that was his training. He still knows, you know. I'm thinking, I mean, because to me, that's just too easy to lead back to the person that did it. You know what I mean? I understand they still can't find part of her body, you know.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, but if you're gonna get rid of something and you don't want it identified, of course you get rid of the skull, you don't just boil it, and you don't cook it in a pot and hide some of the parts in the refrigerator. I know.
SPEAKER_02:So I'm thinking maybe the ex-husband and the brother-in-law, you know, got together to scheme into this and they fucked up and they called daddy to help them, and it just got more people involved, and then he was probably like, Okay, if I help you with this, then I want the apartment and I want this and I want this, uh whatever, you know, because I'm sure she had life insurance. I don't know how much, but I would not be surprised if she had didn't have, you know, she had life insurance, and so to me, it's an interesting case, and I'm gonna look into it, but my money's on the ex-husband, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Um the only and I can totally see that the only thing that makes me stick with my feeling that it was the father-in-law is because of that luxury apartment being assigned to him, and I think he was on the verge of losing that because she was still well, I mean, I think the brother-in-law too. Um, so I don't know.
SPEAKER_02:I mean, yeah, and it's and it's pretty, it's it's pretty stupid to kill the person that's supporting you.
SPEAKER_01:Yep, and she they said um what I read she had a really good relationship with her ex-husband, like she was very friendly with the the the two children, just never divorced, so but she was trying to divorce him, so you know, so by divorcing him, she was basically divorcing the entire family, and they're probably like, Whoa, we are losing our our ATM.
SPEAKER_02:Well, yeah, but killing her, they're still losing their ATM. I know, but they were losing that big old that doesn't make a lot of sense.
SPEAKER_01:I know, but they were losing that big old luxury apartment.
SPEAKER_02:Well, I will say that you won't call anybody stupid, but I will. And I would say that these are some really okay. I won't say stupid. Um, how about mofos that just that just was I'm sorry, I can't come up with another word but stupid.
SPEAKER_01:They they were definitely stupid, they were greedy stupid mofos because they ruined their lives and a bunch of other people's, you know, they would not be sitting in jail waiting trial, they would still be well, they'd have to make a living on their own. And so I don't know.
SPEAKER_02:Interesting case. That's a very, very and the fact that it's probably still going on. We can look up and revisit this topic later when we know what really happened to everybody.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, we'll keep an eye out on the the trials plural and see some uh the I think the two the two women are out on bail. Um and I don't know, maybe the the yacht employee um maybe he already finished his trial. He probably didn't get a whole lot because he was just part of um you know uh the cover-up and disposing, but he I think he um like got rid of some records where they rented the yacht or something. So um so his wasn't that bad. He may not have even known that he was helping covering up that degree of a crime, but still, you know, anybody asks you to help cover something up, you say no, you don't do it. Um you know, he they paid him probably, so he was he was a little greedy mofo.
SPEAKER_02:Um but well I tell you, all those people put the S in greedy mofos, not just greedy mofo, but greedy mofos.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, yeah, many, many, many greedy mofos.
SPEAKER_02:All right, that was a great case. That was a really good case, all righty.
SPEAKER_01:So are you working on your case for next week? What do you what are you thinking?
SPEAKER_02:Oh, I already have mine for next week. It's only a good one. Give us a hint. I'm not giving a hint. All right, is it is it's a good thing. If they want hints, they'll have to follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, and send us that email info at one one two one dot com.
SPEAKER_02:Mm-hmm. And it's the same on for our Facebook page and our Instagram. Awesome. So if you have any ideas, some gritty mofos you want us to explore and talk about and shame them if we have to, we would be happy to do that.
SPEAKER_01:Or if you know the status of this case, let us know. Maybe let us know. Maybe the interwebs are really slow and we haven't um gotten the updates.
SPEAKER_02:I will definitely be looking into it and I will keep updating us on what's happening if they're still going through trials to find out who's been convicted, who hasn't been convicted, because it's it's it's more convoluted than the one I had last week.
SPEAKER_01:Well, it it's it's very similar in that there were a lot of people involved, but there wasn't nearly as much money, obviously. This wasn't the richest man in Monaco. Um, but I mean they're still just as dumb, they're still just as greedy, and they're still just as mofo-ish.
SPEAKER_02:Yes, they are, yes, they are. Well, all right, that was a very good case. Thank you for bringing that one to of course, of course. I'm excited for in the future more stories that we'll be telling about these greedy mofos. So until next week, let's just wish our listeners, you know, have a nice day. Thank you for listening. Be sure and share us with your friends that you think will also find us interesting. And our take on greedy mofos. And, you know, just spread the word. Follow us like us. Absolutely. All right, all right.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, signing off, Aston. Bye.
