Andrew Drummond writing drivel again.

I see my old adversary Andrew Drummond is writing drivel again.

I dont know why he bothers really, he has wrtten the same story at least 50 times now - that can hardly be described as 'news'.

And since Andrew has now been convicted twice this year already of defamation, you would think he would be taking more care.

Apparently, Andrew does not understand how a director of a company in Thailand can be prosecuted for theft of company assets - easy really, a director removes all the company property, sells the items and pockets the money.

In English law it is called wrongful conversion, in Thai it is referred to as embezzlement of company assets under s. 353 of the Criminal Code - it is not the same as theft but is similar.

Andrew is all upset that one of his allies who is an ex member of staff of one of my companies, Boonrod Baikrathok, or Nang, has been told to surrender to Dong Tan police this week when her and two others will be formally charged with theft.

There have been all sorts of moves this week, and lots of interference trying to persuade police not to charge Nang - sorry guys not going to work - Nang will be charged and she will go to Court.

The option still remains open for Nang to simply return company property and there will be no need to take the case forward. She has told police the items were renoved from company premises for 'safekeeping', so obvioualy can be returned?

And this week is just the first case. More to come I suspect.

I would say Nang has had some very, very bad legal advice - it sems even her lawyer has been calling police saying she cant be charged and he will make unspecified 'problems' for police - we will see about that.

Nang of course is innocent until proven guilty and entitled to a defence.

Andrew Drummond convicted again!

I am just wondering when my old adversary Andrew Drummond will announce his recent conviction in the Supreme Court of Thailand in decision number 2137/2557 that was handed down on 27th October 2014.

The Supreme Court reversed the decision of the Region 2 Court of Appeal quashing Drummond's conviction and sentenced Drummond to two months jail (suspended for 2 years) and fined him THB 20,000 in a case brought by Jim Lumsden.

The Court of Appeal found that Drummond was a journalist working in the public interest, but the Supreme Court said that Drummond had defamed Lumsden and entered a conviction.

That means two convictions and two suspended sentences for Drummond this year, and he faces the Supreme Court again on December 16th.

Drummond also has to publish the decision in The Bangkok Post on three separate days before November 25th, so it wont be a secret for long!

FBI Investigating Andrew Drummond poster

A poster on the blog of Andrew Drummond is now under FBI investigation.

The blogger posts under the nom de plume 'The Weapon'.

The case arises from the blogger using a fake Google ID to upload a video to a US porn site that contained fake pornographic images, then making a comment on Drummonds blog to suggest a search on Google would link to it.

The images were faked 'photoshop'gay pornographic images, and had been preceded by fake 'photoshop' gay images being posted on Drummond's blog.

Drummond is already being prosecuted for 'photoshop' images in 4 separate cases, and will face Court on November 13th 2014 to face an indictment for 11 photoshop images.

The suspected ID of the culprit for the latest attack has been passed to the FBI, who have contacted authorities in Australia.

The blogger set up a fake gmail then uploaded the fake images to a US porn site, but was stupid enough to then send emails bragging about how clever he was, and also emailed the images - this has allowed forensic investigators to obtain meta data. The emails allowed a range of identifying data to be retrieved.

Following a California based firm of internet lawyers reporting the matter to the FBI, and issuing a take down notice to the video service and to Google, the video has been removed, and Google are starting to remove links.

I can only say this demonstrates the level  that Andrew Drummonds supporters are prepared to stoop to, and at least on this occasion there may well be some evidence to allow US and Australian authorities to investigate.

For the past twelve months I have pondered why use the photoshops? After the recent ones the answer is obvious - it is just a spiteful vicious and malicious hate campaign.

No doubt they will continue to upload these pathetic images, and we will continue to prosecute.
