prefabs Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 There is an extraordinary story running on the front 2 pages of the current Pattaya Times about an alleged Conman , Lance Shaw, who has allegedly swindled many expats out of life savings etc. His fraudulent empire appears to stretch as far as Spain, according to the reports. Reports of more than a million dollars are mentioned. What makes it extraordinary is that his victims have been visiting him in Nong Palai so often. However, more extraordinary than this, it seems that some of the victims were confused by a mail from a "local media baron" which appears to implicate another company, whose managing director has now denied all knowledge of Mr Shaw. He shall remain nameless as he is not responding to requests for a statement. Mind you, other pieces of the article seem to infer that all is not sweetness and light in the Pattaya Media Circus. Is there anyone out there who can add anything to this Seems to be only one local paper on this story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taffylee Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Howard, You are a legend in Pattaya! How you manage to do all the adverts (despite different echo affects) the news, weather and all the TV features all on your own is very impressive. Keep up the good work. You're not Rupert Murdock but you put your heart into it and thats good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with TAFFYLEE, but he forgot to mention that Howard Miller, besides extremely good looking, is also a totally honest chap, who wear his heart on his sleeve. Known him for a number of years and he beats the other so-called Ptty-Media-Barons hands-down ! !

prefabs Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 This has turned into an orgy of Howardlove. Getting married has obviously brought him a change of luck. However, the original post was not about Howard, more of a con man getting aided and abetted by another local shyster. The BKK papers and Andrew Drummond have been on to this story, but only the Pattaya Times (one out of at least 4 Pattaya Papers) seems to have an angle here. How come?

Does anyone know the name of the "another local shyster" who was allegedly aiding & abetting the main culprit ? It was not, by any chance, a Cyprus-born Austalian chap, was it ? ?

I wasn't aware of that feud, maybe I"ll find out about it sometime. Maybe does, maybe doesn't. But will this help the victims get their money back?
