A sample of the pills seized during the Operation Ark drugs bust.

 

A man who was linked to a drug ring which made "millions and millions" off the pills it dealt has died in Thailand.

 

Lee Vincent, who also goes by the name Kemp Ashby, was linked to Operation Ark – a covert investigation into Ecstasy-like pills.

 

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade confirmed he had died and the New Zealand Embassy in Bangkok had provided consular assistance to a family member.

"The bodybuilder, along with the other ringleaders, had made "millions and millions" off the drugs"

"had managed to avoid extradition by the NZ Police for seven years,"

 

No sympathy here, either. Saved the authorities a lot of money though, with judicial procedures, incarceration etc.

Well, what I understand from the link, the drug was a 'copy' of ecstasy. A well known party drug used by many 'clubbers'. Never seen them having any "misery" when they are enjoying themselves at night clubs.

They need drugs to enjoy themselves? a poor state of affairs.

I don't think they "need" the drugs, but they'll enhance the enjoyment. Is this not the reason why people use drugs?

HE has been rehabilitated and will offend no more.

I have no sympathy for him or the ones who use drugs.

The users know the risks so it is up to them.

If there were no users pricks like Vincent would not make millions.

Colonel Sanders and Ronald McDonald probably do more harm than drug dealers ever have.

So they need drugs to enhance the enjoyment?

 

I don't think "enjoyment" of drugs is an issue, what they can (may) do to you over time is.   Even this guy said his health was really bad for a couple years, fighting hard to control infections, long hospitalization for sepsis, needing an amputation. Infectious problems frequent heavy drug users. Considering he was young and athletic, I would suspect drugs.

This is so sad to read. I'm sure that he was such a fine man, always willing to help others in need, church every Sunday, donations to the poor and needy.

 

May the families of his victims, tens of thousands by the sound of it, rejoice at the death of this scum. I hope the maggots enjoy their meal. Many may die after eating the tainted meat.

Alcohol and tobacco kill far more people than ecstacy or other party drugs, but alcohol and tobacco are legal and big business.

In time, all drugs will become legal. Cannabis is just the beginning. The war on drugs will never be won. Drugs need to be controlled by well thought out legislation. Holland and Portugal are the pathfinders.

I would suspect AIDs, as sepsis and infection problems are commonly the end game.

Seems to be trending in Thailand, seems to be the thing to do to be "someone" !!

I've never 'needed' drugs but oh boy a night out clubbing was so much better with some pills and other stuff.  If I couldn't get any it was still amazing and I still go out clubbing in Bangkok but I do miss being able to enhance my night out. 
 

 

I personally know of a guy from Norway in Chiang Rai that sold drugs enjoys insulting lets say government higher ups on YouTube in the comments and gets off on it. Question ? Why is he still aloud to stay here. Many more like this New Zealand piece of crap walking freely in Thailand .

Vincent had been living in Thailand with his mother and had managed to avoid extradition by the NZ Police for seven years

 

So , either he did not turn up for his 90 days like the mad Russian pair OR it shows that Thailand would rather hold on to high end criminals than poorer pensioners !

Yes they do enjoy themselves so do we let it all in? flood the kids with drug temptations? Let their lives turn to sh*t? Don't tell me its a free world when they are surrounded by peer pressure & cheap thrills. Ice destroys lives families & communities, so roll out the gallows for the drug profiteers. The argument about 'alcohol & nicotine being the same' is for those trying to justify their drug habit or those that haven't had the experience.
