Did anyone ever get to ask this guy if he burried any gold in the jungle?

-

Mok fled into the jungle in April 1998 taking Pol Pot with him? Impossible.

Impossible because 1) Mok turned on and captured Pol Pot in June 1997 and 2) They could not have fled into the jungle together because Pol Pot was critically ill he would have had to have been carried, as he was carried when he attempted to flee in June 1997. 3) Pol Pot died under house arrest after his conviction, not in detention.

was he Brother #5 or #4?

He wasn't a brother. There were only 4.

Questionable Information
This page is a nice start but contains some questionable info and, additionally, misses key facts. I intend over the next several weeks to make some revisions:his role as commander of southwest zone, his role in purges of eastern zone etc. Bigdaddy1981 18:31, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

It's highly unlikely that any Khmer ever called Ta Mok "The Butcher." The word for butcher in Cambodian is "Neak kap koo" literally "a person who kills cows." It works in English to say, "Ta Mok, the Butcher, . . . . "   But it's hard to imagine a Khmer saying, "Ta Mok, the person who kills cows, . . . ." My guess is a reporter started the rumor and it got a life of its own. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tampuan (talk • contribs) 15:53, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
