I saw those people saying that he had ripped off some Albanian gangsters
I've only just started reading about it all but it does seem like there is more to the story than him just getting off his nut and wandering off.
Teneriffe is tiny too so you would think they would have found him by now if there wasn't something dodgy going on.
Thing is, the circumstances make no sense either. He 'missed a bus' and his next best option was to set off walking on 10hr journey with no fluids and 1% battery on his phone, with no idea where he was going. Instead of, you know, waiting for the next bus or getting a taxi and paying at the other end. This wasn't some back end of beyond place he was, he had gone there with other tourists - it's somewhere tourists go, there would've been modes of transport and shops etc around he could go into for help/assistance.
The whole thing is bollocks IMO. As in, the story his friend has given.
He's clearly a jumped up, cocky little prick so it's not hard to imagine him crossing the wrong person.
