A philanthropist and social media figure allegedly threatened to kill a dock worker during a heated argument from his multimillion-dollar yacht, before dropping his pants and giving several threatening gestures to the employee after he was told he could not dock where he wanted to.
Ajay Thakore, who goes by the handle Ace Rogers online, is a local entrepreneur in the San Diego, California area. He attempted to dock his Lamborghini yacht at the private Marriot Marquis Marina to pick up one of his employees but was stopped by worker Joseph Holt on Sunday.
“I told him respectfully that he couldn’t be there, and I honestly was hoping to have a conversation with him about his cool boat,” Holt told CBS8. “But yeah, it completely went the other way.”
