Is no-one going to mention it?

What about the barang, surely someone knows him?

Ah come on...... I'd rather keep watching 440 spin out of control.....commiserating and gossiping about how it is some sort of bizarre conspiracy of silence on CEO how he hasn't been discussed in depth yet.

What a bunch of unadulterated knuckle-heads over there.

Can't say that he rings a bell.

But looking at his profile pic and the 2 specific mutual FB friends we have in common I think I can safely say he arrived here in 2011, did a TESOL with Languagecorps and shacked up with a local bird.

That narrows it down to about 500 expats.

Is he a poster here?
Say it aint so...

He's a reader and maybe a poster and he used to work with the General of our online life here. He s mostly good, has three lovely kids and an ex wife who is local. The tragedy of this is that he was committed to the kids and was wanting to provide for them. His friends and family abroad will do their best for the kids. Matt knows that. I guess he just was not able to muster an exit plan with the volatility of changes in the last 12 months. This is hard news for those kids but they have no doubts about their fathers love for them. Maybe he''ll catch a break.

As a long time expat, he was probably reading and maybe posting on both Cambodian expat forums. Both forums have a policy of not outing their members, so what do you expect to happen ?

If a forum member of either forum gets arrested for whatever, of course it makes the news on CEO and there is no dispensation. However, you can't blame the other forum members, or his FB friends, for his behavior and his decision to traffic meth. I don't know the guy, but if I did, then it would be between him and me that we were no longer friends.
Very sad that the guy has a family and kids who are going to suffer from this.

Who is blaming anyone or anything except him?
I just found it very unusual that a barang was arrested and there was next to no comment about him. Just the diversion into chat about about the other ethnicities involved.
That made me wonder if there was a reason for the silence.
It didn't take long for Mishmash to get dumped on or indeed Fred Edwards, just wondered why this guy was different.

I'm not sure what you expect . The 'silence' might just be that it's another barang that gets arrested and so what. Mishmash was a known member of CEO, but you are the only one to suggest that this American guy was also posting here. So maybe you know more than we do ?

There have been other foreigners posted on here for drug busts, and no doubt some members of both forums knew the Belgian guys involved in Phnom Penh-Brazil cocaine busts . However, I am not going to blame all their facebook friends and suggest that they were somehow involved.
Just to be super-clear - there is and has been no censorship for posters on this forum AFAIK. CEO News posted the arrest with the photo and name of the American who was arrested. There was no cover-up. I'm sure that if CEO News or any posters here have something to say on the subject, then they will say it.
And if you have something to say then spit it out. That will save us from going to look at TOF. Cheers.
