To "Thow" is to invest someones money with the promise of doubling or tripling the initial investment, and once gaining the trust of the individual, claim a loss after redirecting the money to an offshore bank account or laundering it accordingly. To be a fraud investor, or broker with the intent of leaving the country with others money in hand, to a country with minimal extradition laws such as the Bahamas or Carribean Islands.

Ian Thow of Vancouver Island left to Seattle, Washington where he now resides with $10,000,000 of Alex Campbell's money; (the owner of Thrifty Foods, Subsidiary of the Sobeys chain) as well as an approximate value of $7,000,000 of other Vancouver and Victoria residents savings and investments. Extradition was declined as all of his taxes were filed before leaving the country.
I was thinking about becoming an investment broker, so that I can gain peoples trust and then thow them for all they are worth.

It sounded like a legitimate get rich quick idea, but i just ended up getting thowed.
