'Malevolent Cretin' Accused of Doing a Runner in Phnom Penh

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

What is new is people bleating to anyone who will listen about how they are a victim. This is to achieve their victimhood status and elicit sympathy and support, because the are raising awareness, Raising awareness is a fancy way of saying "I am moaning about [insert cause here]" It's a catch-all justification for all the shit-stirrers and activists with their petty little causes.

The OP is a victim of his own gullibility as much as the scrounger. Until he starts to accept most of the blame and learn from it, he will be a mark forever.

People used to get praise and respect for doing something good, courageous, maybe even heroic. They aspired to that. These days all you have top do is be pathetic and invite sympathy and the attention will flow.

It's $400. Take it on the chin and learn from it. Don't make matters worse by mugging yourself off again by telling everyone.
OP?

CEO took this from a closed facebook group and reposted here. The group where he posted it only have one purpose, to warn about unhonest people in cambodia to other members. So if you have a problem you can ask CEO why they posted it here. The victim did not.
This guy posted his sob story on FACEBOOK, closed group or not. Anyone can join that group and cut and paste from that group and republish without limit to help "raise awareness". After all, the let CEONews in!

He, David Aristole, published it in probably the biggest media sewer in the world. He's fair game.

If you actually *read* the post, Doc, which I see now that you did not,





I don't do Facebook so if you are referring about me not reading a fuller and more detailed tale of woe, then yes, I'm guilty. I made my comments on the post reproduced here. That was enough.

he's riding around in tuk tuks drunk and high with hookers and I'm hearing about it from multiple people. A little hard to sit by and do nothing.


You see David, if you had just kept it all to yourself and stealthily sough him out privately, you would still have the element of surprise (always very useful when collecting a debt).

Instead you've told the whole world and put him on notice that you are gunning for him. To make matters worse you now have "multiple people" blowing smoke up your ass with tales of sightings with tuks, booze, drugs and hookers. All on Facebook by chance?

Be honest David, if you ever did catch up with him, what would you actually do? Because unless you are prepared to get your hands dirty, then forget it. Shaming doesn't work with scroungers and freeloaders.

Xoxo - Bill
Bill, pretending my reply was too long to read is akin to flipping a chess board - Considered poor form even among children.
Speaking of poor form, the same could be said for making spurious and unfounded claims of substance abuse when whilst in "In the very same sentence" (to quote you in your original post relating to me) you are failing the very basics of spelling and grammar...

I will own my part in our quarrel, however: I apologize for choosing an adult vernacular when addressing your completely baseless remarks.
I should have just made a "your mom" joke and spammed UMADBRO?? but was afraid those question marks may have overwhelmed you in their complexity.

I see accountability isn't your strong suit so let me gather together the pieces and summarize - I've never been to The Deck, you stupid fuck.

Love you,

David

"Nobodies going to read the actual book you posted."

Always funny to see people complain about 'a book' or 'a wall of text' when there are more than a few soundbites or sentences to read. This was a couple of minutes at most. Yes I think more than a few people have read the reply and those who complain about length of text usually have 'read' their last book in their infancy: one with many pictures and large letters.

What this thread needs, now that we have the accuser among us, is a rebuttal by the "malevolent cretin" himself.

yet another sad tale of gullibility exposed by a victim.
Does anyone feel sorry for these self centered whiney posters?
All I get from this is

- Look at me I'm a victim
- feel sorry for me
- you're not looking at me! I need your attention..give me your attention.

I think you’re being pretty cynical, there’s a degree about warning others and naming and shaming going on.

The city knows about Elliott and I always see the best in people first....but unfortunately it's story after story of this happening. I can honestly say I like him but he's clearly going down the wrong path.

With regards to bill, if you support someone out of the kindness of your heart and they betray you, it just needs to be chalked up to "you can't win em all", don't stop helping people but also don't ignore blatant red flags.

It's just a shame to see posts like these, I had an inflammatory post about myself go onto Facebook and it really hurt (because it was completely false). All you have to do in those situations is just rely on the numbers of people that know you're a good guy and a man of your word outnumbering the negative ones.

Just sad to see this stuff, it's a small town and some people go down some dark paths for the whole community to see. Sad times.

Well, it seems he's a no-show.
I could see if my ex-wife, number nasty, is available to stand-in for him. I know ex, number 1, is busy, because she can't make it to her innuendo seminar, tomorrow. So I'm filling her slot.

Sorry to hear your story. I've been scammed by 2 guys here. One a tall American named Will. His partner is a Scottish guy named Alastair. They owe people, bars, hotel restaurant $1000s. They are pure scam artists. They say they have a company in Thailand. Always waiting for money paid into ABA bank here.
