Doing what? Befriending American girls and then disappearing while his "friends" move in. I was a pretty tough dude back then and it scared the hell out of me. I didn't know or meet any of his "friends" but I knew they were people you did not cross and live to tell the tale.
I told him no, made up a story of getting back to my girlfriend. Couldn't sleep that night. Knew I had to tell someone but didn't feel like dying in Romania. Caught the train out to Athens and told the cops in Athens the guys name and the bar his "friends" hanged out in. Never heard back from the cops.

I'm often glad I've lived such a sheltered existence.
It's too bad you didn't have a very particular set of skills,
