American STEPHEN GREATSINGER (Khmer440 Member 'BSCW') Arrested in Cambodia After US Embassy Threats

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.

Good point, High Commissioner

Mish got outed because he had posted his photograph here - and you couldn't deny the crime scene photo's were him.
So, in effect, he outed himself. Everybody has the right to choose that to whatever degree they want.
But does the anonymity stop as soon as the cuffs are slapped on any member, regardless?

My personal vote - No. < usually
Anonymity should be almost sacred.
However, if the guy has declared war on your biz and threatened your family, repeatedly. I would probably both call the cops - and out the bloke.

There are definite limits - even calling the cops is sometimes on.
Bullies and thugs rely on codes of silence being inappropriately applied - and they don't deserve them.
BSCW posted his own personal data, to include multiple passports, in his thread, so he outed himself long before his current troubles.

No, doxxing people shouldn't be allowed, and it isn't, per forum rules. Outing yourself is a different matter.
up to you...

Rules are for breaking, forum rules are not laws and whoever is in control decides.

Remember the recent announcement that an FBI office is going to open in Phnom Penh. It has always been here inside the Embassy. And they are reading CEO everyday. And the Cambodian internet gateway monitors are watching. Just saying. You will not remain anonymous to them for long. So he puts his threats out there in the open and now has to accept the consequences. Stupid is as stupid does.

It wasn't just the insane ramblings he posted on forums though, apparently he was emailing the staff at the embassy with direct threats. :roll:
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Yes, all citizens were eligible, whether resident or not. u.s. citizens pay federal tax on all income generated abroad( with small exceptions).
We're getting way OT here, but americans abroad get proper fucked (as Snatch would put it) on taxes from foreign earnings.
Americans living abroad would file form 2555. If they meet the residency requirements, the easiest one to meet is if they work permanently or indefinitely outside of the USA, they do not pay tax on the first $105,900.

So you would need a wage exceeding that annually to start paying taxes, those making $106K plus are perhaps bothered but not sure about "proper fucked" level.

Maximum foreign earned income exclusion. Enter $105,900

I suspect he was bipolar or something. He definitely suffered from some sort of mental disability (maybe his lawyers can work that angle).
