This appears to be a therapeutic exercise for people who now have to throw
themselves at the mercy of social security departments around the western

Drake seems to describe everyone but himself as incompetent. (This may be true. In his case his actions sound deliberate) He also claims poverty, well maybe apart from that 18-year-old house in Fiji
and the stuff he has put in other people’s names and trusts etc. He complains of press lies and distortions.

Amazingly – just like our Pattaya scammers he throws up his

What a nerve that English guy has got! Having the audacity to come around face to face and ask for the money back. Money somebody probably worked long and hard for, now lost by these people who just think they can walk away without any accountability. If ASIC is involved we can safely assume nobody will be held responsible or prosecuted. That is the most predictable outcome.
There has been serious skullduggery in the Australian Commonwealth bank and as usual ASIC has done little to protect people from the scamsters.
