Christopher \u201cChristy\u201d Kinahan, aka \u201cthe Dapper Don,\u201d is the founder of the Kinahan Cartel and one of the most wanted men in the world.<\/p>\n

\n

His gang graduated from petty street crime, allegedly fixing horse races<\/a>, and drug dealing on the streets of Dublin, Ireland, to become one of the biggest transnational organized crime groups in the world, according to the US government.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But in one of hundreds of thoughtful reviews posted on Google by Kinahan between 2019 and 2023 under the alias \u201cChristopher Vincent,\u201d he admits he stormed out of the Mitts and Trays restaurant in Blue Water, Dubai, before the food was delivered because of the lengthy wait.<\/p>\n

\u201c[This] was not so bad for adults, but when you have children with you it can be a hassle,\u201d he ruminated.<\/p>\n

Bloody Feud<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Irish courts describe the Kinahan family as a \u201cmurderous organization\u201d involved in the trafficking of drugs and firearms internationally.<\/p>\n

In 2022, the US State Department announced a $15 million reward for information leading to the capture of high-level Kinahan members.<\/p>\n

\n

Kinahan and his sons, Daniel and Christopher Jr., are believed to be holed up in a luxury mansion in Dubai, where they \u201cexert power across the globe with an army of gunmen and money launderers,\u201d according to The Irish Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Kinahans disappeared to Dubai in 2016 following a bloody feud with rival Dublin criminal organization, the Hutch Gang.<\/p>\n

Earlier that year a group of Hutch members armed with AK-47s stormed Dublin\u2019s Regency Hotel dressed as police officers during a boxing weigh-in organized by Daniel Kinahan. The intention was to take out Daniel Kinahan and his top lieutenants.<\/p>\n

The main targets escaped, but two Kinahan associates died in the gunfire. Twelve people were murdered by members of the Kinahan Cartel in retribution.<\/p>\n

Everyone\u2019s a Critic <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kinahan Sr.\u2019s prolific Google reviews show that he is an enthusiastic globetrotter, despite his legal predicament. He has posted restaurant and hotel reviews from Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Hungary, Belgium, Turkey, Egypt, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Hong Kong, according to The Irish Times.<\/em><\/p>\n

In fact, his Google profile has earned more than 10K points, obtaining a \u201clevel 7\u201d guide rating.<\/p>\n

In his reviews, Kinahan comes across as an inpatient and somewhat fussy businessman. One review is particularly interesting in the context of his status as a transnational organized crime boss.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of another Dubai restaurant, he writes, \u201cI did explain that I did not like to be called \u2018boss\u2019 and please could you call me \u2018Chris, Mr Vincent, or Sir,\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe waitress tittered,\u201d he added. \u201cI thought nothing more of it until we were paying the bill \u2026 and were about to leave when the same waitress made a point of saying \u2018thanks boss!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the hiccup, he gave the restaurant four stars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
