Andrew Drummond Sought by Police to Answer Charges

Police are now searching for Andrew Drummond


Following contact from Thai police and private investigators newspapers around the world are distancing themselves from claims by "yellow" (sensational, muckraking) journalist Andrew Drummond that Drummond writes for them. Drummond even shows the banners of these newspapers on the first page of his one man blog, hate website without the knowledge or approval of the newspapers; just to fool his readers into thinking he is reputable.



He did however have a stint with News of the World whose banner he also had on his site, but after the tabloid newspaper was shut down for writing the kind of defamatory reports as Drummond and using illegal tapes and hacking to get information, Drummond removed the News of the World banner from his front page of his blog.

He also used to show the Bangkok Post banner, but was forced to remove it after he involved the credible Bangkok Post in a law suit which Drummond lost for lying about businessmen in Thailand. Andrew Drummond controls who posts to his site and is known to use at least 14 different names to post to his own articles to incite comments from sleepy bloggers.

In Drummond's own story which he may have written using the pen name of his "photographer" he admits at the end of the eighth paragraph that Drummond received two, two year prison sentences for lying about Pattaya businessmen a few years ago in several newspapers. See the Andrew Chant article how Drummond twists his prison  conviction into a victory:

"These banners of prominent newspapers he has illegally put on his site to give him credibility will come down one way or another. Our investigation shows Drummond is unemployed and does not work for these newspapers," said a lawyer representing one of seven new plaintiffs against Andrew Drummond for defamation and lying to hurt reputations and businesses of foreign businessmen and Thai officials.

One of two plaintiffs who already won a million baht civil court judgment in Thailand against Drummond says, "We are looking for his assets, but beside his car which we already got a couple of years ago, there is little value to him. He can barely pay his rent on his small house. But we will follow him and get the money he owes us even if we have to file more criminal charges for defaulting on the court ordered payment he must make to us.”

Thai police are continuing a massive investigation into a myriad of lies and defamatory statements made by Andrew Drummond on his one man blog against Thai officials, Thai government organizations and business people and Thai companies. The attacks are for no purpose but to destroy the reputations of many Thai and foreigners making positive contributions to Thai society.

Investigators say they have discovered that at least 14 of the names used to post supportive statements made by Drummond in his blogs are in fact Andrew Drummond himself. However, when the police and cybercrimes get the list of email addresses associated with blog names then the true identities of those who have defamed and committed libel will be unveiled and further arrests may be forthcoming.

Andrew Drummond has defied a order by the Thailand based web hosting company which ordered him to remove false content from his website or they would close down his site.

The web host acted following an official letter to the hosting company from Thai police who are gathering all of the mounting evidence to arrest Drummond and get him convicted of the many defamatory and libelous crimes he has committed. 

No one understands why. He has no income to speak of and no followers except other disgruntled foreigners with no future who sit and blog along with him like sheep.

Andrew Drummond admits that in one of his many criminal cases "I was fingerprinted, jailed, and forbidden to leave the country." See http://cpj.org/2004/07/cpj-condemns-criminal-defamation-suits.php

There is not one positive story on his entire blog. The cyber crimes division of the Royal Thai Police, the Ministry of Information and Computer Technology, the Pattaya Police and the Bangkok Police are all investigating Andrew Drummond and has asked the hosting company to remove the site. This will take time.

Andrew Drummond is investigated by a Thailand forum and his education and credentials are falsely exaggerated by Andrew Drummond according to the article located at
