Gemstone Dealer Alexander Judt From Germany Arrested by Immigration Police For...

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

I know this man, he's no gems dealer, he's a small time junky and crook hustling tourists and gems traders in Pailin. He operates various scams based on racket commissions with traders or selling fake gems, this is probably why he was arrested. We went to Pailin to buy gems last October and had a hard time getting him off our shoes, he was such a drag. I'm glad they got rid of him.

I assumed all that was practically the "job description" for a gems dealer in South East Asia, no?

Actually all gems I bought in shops there were natural, I had them tested in Singapore, it's only guys who hustle you in the street like this Alex dude who try to sell you synthetic. There was also a new laboratory there but I didn't have time to get the certificates from there.

price maybe not crazy high.
little too much grey in it.
Actually if it's 140ct, if it's not shallow it can't be used right? you don't want an eiffel tower on your finger or neck. But the proportion crown/pavillion are off, it keeps the light and makes it black, you are right. But as I said, I don't think it's the gem's height, rather the crown height. Now should it be higher or lower, beats me, I'm not a lapidary.
But in the end, if it's a stone presented by this Alex dude, it's probably a fake stone, a blue topaz at best, so end of discussion lol :greet:

Alexander Judt was arrested again today.
From Nokorwatnews:

- Alexander Judt, a German national aged 46, was taken into custody today, 21 August 2017, by Cambodian police, presumably for overstaying his visa, a one year E visa extension which expired in Febuary 2017. He has reportedly been living in Pailin for the past ten years.

No, he's been there for about 4 years only, he was in PP before, where he abandoned 2 kids he had with a junkie bargirl.
He's really scum and I hope he gets deported.
