Moundir, a former adventurer from Koh Lanta, was the guest of the show "It feels good" on Friday. He returns to the microphone of Anne Roumanoff and his gang on a dark episode in his life: the day he almost killed a man who had defrauded him after they tried to launch a clothing brand together. INTERVIEW
He was really ready to "do it". After being scammed by an associate with whom he was to launch a clothing brand, Moundir, in a fit of anger, wanted to kill the man who had made him lose his life savings, 90,000 euros. The one who became famous after his participation in the adventure show Koh Lanta finally backed down at the last moment, thanks to his wife. An event that he recounts on Friday at the microphone of Anne Roumanoff and her band, on the show It feels good.

"I just got married and I got cheated by someone malicious," recalls Moundir. "I find myself with all the stories that one can imagine, with the tax authorities, in particular. I live in precariousness practically, for more than two years."
"I give you back your freedom"
During this period, Moundir broods. He lives particularly badly to make live this situation to his wife. Until the day he decides not to put up with things anymore, and makes the wrong choice. He decides to go kill the man who scammed him. "I'm going there to do it," he explains.
"I'm giving you back your freedom, because I don't want you to go through what I'm making you go through right now," he said to his wife. "I'm with you for what you are, not for what you have. So we're going to go up the slope," she replies. But Moundir still takes to the road.

It's finally a text message from his wife that makes him back off. "Husband, I love you terribly and we'll get through this," she wrote to him. "And there, it's as if someone put a big slap in the neck. I wonder what I left to do", then realizes Moundir.
A twist of fate or coincidence, Moundir receives a phone call from Franck Firmin-Guion, director of the Adventure Line production company. He wants to launch a season of Koh Lanta with former participants who have marked the public. And offers Moundir to be part of it. "Pay me my debts and I'll get back into this machine," replied the adventurer. He resumes sport, participates in the show and climbs the slope little by little. He will then have three children with the one who saved his life.
