HP have you seen this? (So much detail for a fake story)

http://www.livesecure.org/joran-van-der-sloot-i-sold-natalee-holloway-for-10000/

The two brothers allegedly dropped Joran and Natalee at a local beach where he says they “made out” until the mystery man appeared in a boat at the water’s edge. Joran turned Natalee over to him in exchange for a bag with $9,800, indicating the man inexplicitly kept $200 or more back for himself. Van der Sloot said she made some sound and then the boat, the man, and the 18-year-old American girl were gone, with Natalee eventually being taken to Venezuela to become a sex slave. The story continues, though, that the mystery man has subsequently given van der Sloot another $10,000 as hush money, that the Kalpoe brothers knew about Natalee’s fate and each received $1,000 (of the original $10k) from Joran, and that Joran’s father, a local Aruban attorney, and at least two police officers also had guilty knowledge of Natalee’s fate. Joran goes on to say his father allegedly paid the two police officers $50,000 to keep the story to themselves, and offered, as proof, a tape recording on which he indicates he and his father discuss the case and the issue of human trafficking. This tape, of course, brought him money from the cable network.

No, I've never seen that story, but I do remember that during the first month that Scared Monkeys had public messageboards, that ANYONE who ever posed the idea that Natalee had been sold into sexual slavery was FLAMED unmercifully, pounced upon by multiple posters --- which behavior made me presume that said posters perhaps DID know what happened to Natalee and DID know that she was alive; elsewise, why get so angry at virtual strangers who believed the human trafficking theory.

FIVE years ago, so I don't remember much about it, it's been a long time since I read that, and I doubt those early boards were archived anywhere....
