Source-Material Disclosure · Adam Howell's AHTD Letter

Adam Howell's Letter to Thai Police — The Source Material at the Bottom of the Campaign

In the period before his 28 August 2025 criminal defamation conviction, Adam Howell wrote a letter to the Commander of the Thai Anti-Human Trafficking Division (AHTD) presenting himself as a “confidential informant” in the Flirt Bar case and asking the police to investigate Bryan Flowers and dismantle a so-called “criminal network.” This page publishes that letter in full (working English translation), rebuts every allegation in it, and pins the relevant new fabrications to the lies catalogue.

The letter is significant beyond its content. It is one of multiple false-allegation lettersHowell has submitted — this is the first published in full on this site — and it is the source material at the bottom of the entire Drummond campaign. Drummond himself admitted, in writing in his own 2 December 2025 article, that “we were contacted by Howell who unloaded his files.” The allegations Drummond then dressed up and recycled across 21 articles, the 20 May 2026 Pattaya groups burner posts, the 1 June 2026 hosting takedown context, and the 10 June 2026 ‘Soi 6 Mafia’ wanted-poster flyer all trace back to documents like this one.

The author was subsequently convicted of criminal defamation in a Thai court on 28 August 2025 (6-month suspended sentence) on Bryan's filing — the very proceedings the letter dismisses as “malicious.” Three further Thai criminal cases for false allegations and one civil case are pending against him on the same fact pattern. He has since left Thailand for Dubai, early 2026, leaving 5–6 million baht in unpaid personal debts. He has admitted in writing on Facebook Messenger to paying Andrew Drummond to attack Bryan, offering him a percentage of any future payout, and paying him extra to target Bryan's family (/evidence/paid-to-troll). This is the man whose letter to the police follows below.

It is the source material for the entire Drummond campaign. Drummond's own 2 December 2025 article admits “we were contacted by Howell who unloaded his files”. The 21 archived articles, the 20 May 2026 burner posts, the 10 June 2026 wanted-poster flyer — all of them rest on files of this kind. Reading the letter is reading the foundation rock.
The author was convicted of criminal defamation on the very proceedings the letter calls ‘malicious’. A Thai court convicted Howell on 28 August 2025 (6-month suspended sentence) on Bryan's filing. Calling the prosecution that convicted you ‘malicious’ — in a letter asking the police to instead investigate the prosecuting party — is the structural pattern of a defendant attempting to weaponise the state against the complainant.
The letter inverts roles. Howell was Bryan's commercial business partner / investor with a documented commercial dispute. Framing himself in the letter as a public-spirited ‘confidential informant’ who happens to know about a network of crimes — rather than as a former partner with a commercial dispute and a documented vendetta — is the rhetorical move on which the whole document rests.
It projects Howell's own documented crimes onto Bryan. ‘Cryptocurrency fraud schemes among foreign communities’ is Howell's own activity — the Dope Coin / SuperDoge rug pulls are documented at /profiles/howell and /evidence/false-investor-claims. Writing it as a Bryan-and-network accusation in a letter to the police is the classic projection pattern (Position Paper #135).
It is one of multiple false-allegation letters. Howell has sent similar letters to several recipients. This is the first one published on this site in full. The pattern of using letters to officials (rather than open published articles) is itself a form of indirect harassment that fits inside the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 framing already on file.

The Letter — Verbatim Translation

Adam Howell's Letter to the AHTD Commander

Working English translation of the Thai original. Obtained via Bryan's Thai counsel. The Thai original is held on file. The translation preserves the document's original “[surname]” redaction exactly as it appears — we have not added or removed any text. Submitted by Adam Howell to the Commander of the Anti-Human Trafficking Division (AHTD) in the period before his 28 August 2025 criminal defamation conviction.

I, Mr. Adam Ryan Howell, a Canadian national holding Canadian passport number AR431687, residing in Thailand at 60/100 Moo (Soi Bongkot 6/4), Nong Prue Subdistrict, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi Province, served as a confidential informant to the Anti-Human Trafficking Division (AHTD) police in the investigation of the crime of trafficking women at a bar called "Flirt Bar" in Pattaya City, Chonburi Province. This led to the arrest of a number of offenders, namely Ms. Punnipa Flowers, the owner of the bar; one foreign male; the bar manager; and one Thai woman who acted as a procurer of Thai girls under the age of 18 for the purpose of prostitution to officers involved in the sting operation.

The sting and arrests took place in March 2023 within the jurisdiction of Pattaya City Police Station. All those arrested were taken for further legal proceedings at the Anti-Human Trafficking Division. After the arrests, the offenders were granted bail, and the foreign male suspect absconded while on bail. Prosecution was pursued only against those arrested on the day of the incident, with no further investigation into the broader network of offenders.

This network included Mr. Bryan Flowers, a British national and husband of Ms. Punnipa, who was behind such criminal activities. There was witness testimony and evidence including bank accounts, financial transaction records, and income statements linking directly to him. There were also advertisements on various websites and social media platforms in which he presented himself as the owner of multiple bars, including the one where the arrests occurred. Furthermore, Mr. Bryan was said to have operated a secret group on the Telegram application for his members, providing pornographic images and serving as a channel for child prostitution within their group of bars.

However, these matters were never fully investigated or prosecuted to the ultimate target. Mr. Bryan was also known to boast among friends that he had spent up to 10 million baht to assist his wife and staff to avoid legal consequences. Nevertheless, the case still concluded with a criminal conviction and imprisonment sentence for Mr. Bryan's wife and the others arrested.

Following the incident, Mr. Bryan [surname] exercised his influence to intimidate witnesses working in an organization involved in anti-human trafficking, which was coordinating with the police in investigating and arresting in this case. He also sent gangsters to threaten me at my residence during the night, with the intention of causing me harm. As a result, I have had to hide and constantly change my place of rest. Furthermore, Mr. Bryan maliciously filed criminal charges against me for defamation, as well as civil lawsuits claiming damages amounting to several million baht, and even announced his intention to file many additional cases against me, warning me to prepare for such lawsuits.

These acts of intimidation and harm arose from the fact that I had provided information to the Anti-Human Trafficking Division (AHTD) police in the investigation of human trafficking cases. Mr. Bryan and his network of foreign nationals have been involved in various illicit activities, including human trafficking, trafficking in obscene materials, involvement with cannabis and narcotic substances, illegal entry into the United Kingdom, cryptocurrency fraud schemes among foreign communities, and association with gangsters belonging to the "Hell's Angels" gang, which still operates in Pattaya without being arrested. This is due to their financial influence and close ties with certain local officials, allowing them to evade arrest, asset seizure, and prosecution for money laundering.

Therefore, I hereby submit this letter to the Commander of the Anti-Human Trafficking Division, requesting an order for the investigation, arrest, and dismantling of Mr. Bryan's criminal network in its entirety, and the implementation of anti-money laundering measures against him, in order to restore peace and safety to society from such crimes. I also request protection against the threats and intimidation from the aforementioned influential individual.

The Structural Question the Letter Cannot Answer

Wronged Investors Do Not Behave This Way

Howell was Bryan Flowers' commercial business partner / investor. Adam Howell started a dispute over payouts during COVID and began attacking his partners online, then tried to extort them. The honest avenues open to a wronged investor in that position are: civil recovery, formal commercial-dispute resolution, partnership buy-out negotiations, or commercial arbitration.

Howell did none of those things. Instead, he simultaneously:

Reported his own business partners to the Thai AHTD as a “confidential informant” in a child-trafficking sting — the letter above.
Coordinated with The Exodus Road foundation in the lead-up to and during the Flirt Bar sting that triggered the criminal case against his own partners.
Demanded a financial payout from the same businesses he was actively destroying — a US$460,000 figure originally claimed (fabricated as documented at /evidence/false-investor-claims).
Offered Andrew Drummond a percentage to publish 21 articles attacking Bryan in parallel (documented at /evidence/paid-to-troll).

That four-part combination is not the behaviour of a wronged investor. It is the behaviour of someone applying maximum simultaneous pressure — legal, regulatory, reputational, and personal — against a counterparty in order to extract money under threat of public destruction. The letter above is the regulatory leg of that pressure campaign, written down in Howell's own words and submitted under his own name.

A Thai court has already taken its own view of the underlying allegations: it convicted Howell of criminal defamation on 28 August 2025.

Context — The Exodus Road Setup Pattern

One of Many Bars The Exodus Road Has Set Up

The Flirt Bar sting in March 2023 was not the first or the last operation of its kind. The Exodus Road foundation, the anti-trafficking organisation that coordinated the sting, has set up five other Pattaya bars before Bryan's and five more this year alone. Drummond has shown interest in exactly one of those cases — the one Howell brought him — and zero in the others. That selectivity is itself revealing about whether the campaign is anti-trafficking journalism or paid anti-Bryan campaigning.

For Howell specifically, the contradiction is sharper still: a wronged investor coordinating with the very foundation engineering the legal collapse of his own investment — while simultaneously demanding to be paid US$460,000 for that investment — cannot have both stories be true. Either he was a wronged investor (in which case he should not have been coordinating with the foundation destroying the business he wanted paid out of), or he was helping engineer the legal collapse (in which case the “investor” framing collapses). The letter above shows he chose the second posture, then re-adopted the first when it suited him.

The Letter, Allegation by Allegation

Each item below quotes the letter's exact words, states the verdict, gives the truth supported by the public record on this site, and links to the underlying evidence and the relevant entries in the lies catalogue.

#1MISLEADING

“Adam Howell served as a 'confidential informant to the Anti-Human Trafficking Division (AHTD) police'.”

The truth: Howell is not an independent informant. He was Bryan Flowers' commercial business partner / investor with a documented commercial dispute and a documented personal vendetta. He has since been convicted of criminal defamation in a Thai court (28 August 2025, 6-month suspended sentence) on the same set of allegations the letter recycles, has admitted in writing on Facebook Messenger to paying Andrew Drummond to attack Bryan, offering him a percentage of any future payout, and paying him extra to target Bryan's family (see /evidence/paid-to-troll), and is the documented sole source for Drummond's 21 archived articles (Drummond's own 2 December 2025 article admits 'we were contacted by Howell who unloaded his files'). Framing himself as a public-spirited 'confidential informant' inverts who he actually is in this story.

/evidence/paid-to-troll /profiles/howell

#2UNVERIFIED

“Mr. Bryan Flowers 'was behind such criminal activities' and that 'witness testimony and evidence including bank accounts, financial transaction records, and income statements' link directly to him.”

The truth: Howell has not produced any of the records he claims exist. No bank-account documents, no financial-transaction records, no income statements, no witness testimony beyond his own have been produced — in this letter, in any of Drummond's 21 articles, or in the Thai proceedings he has lost. The flat assertion that materials exist is not the same as producing them. Compare with the Flirt Bar case itself, where the court record contains 38 word-for-word identical police witness statements (Position Paper #22 / Lie #16) — a court-admitted indicator of coerced testimony, not independent corroboration.

/lies — Lie #16 (38 identical police statements)/papers — Position Paper #22

#3FABRICATION

“Bryan 'operated a secret group on the Telegram application for his members, providing pornographic images and serving as a channel for child prostitution within their group of bars'.”

The truth: There is no such Telegram group. The claim is wholly fabricated. If a 'channel for child prostitution' existed, Howell — who positions himself as a confidential AHTD informant with insider access — would have produced the channel name, the join link, member identities, message content, screenshots, or any other concrete artefact. He has produced none of those things because none exist. Recorded in the lies catalogue as Lie #76.

/lies — Lie #76 (Telegram channel fabrication)

#4FABRICATION

“Bryan 'was also known to boast among friends that he had spent up to 10 million baht to assist his wife and staff to avoid legal consequences'.”

The truth: Bryan has never made this boast. The figure is invented. Bryan's actual documented spending in the Flirt Bar case is on lawyer fees, court costs, and bail bonds — none of which went to any judge or official, and all of which is consistent with normal legal defence costs in a contested Thai case currently on appeal. The 'boast' framing follows the same pattern as the prison-rescue video misrepresentation already documented at Lie #71: real, lawful legal-fee spending mischaracterised as bribery. Recorded as Lie #77.

/lies — Lie #77 (10M baht boast fabrication)/lies — Lie #71 (the bribery-on-video framing)

#5FABRICATION

“Bryan 'exercised his influence to intimidate witnesses working in an organization involved in anti-human trafficking' and 'sent gangsters to threaten me at my residence during the night'.”

The truth: No gangsters were ever sent to Howell's residence. The 'witness intimidation' framing inverts the documented record: it is Drummond, working from Howell's files, who has attacked named civil-case witnesses on the public record (Fernando, Nick Dean, Chris B — full documentation at /evidence/witness-intimidation). What Bryan actually did was file lawful libel proceedings against Howell — proceedings Howell lost. On 28 August 2025 a Thai court convicted Howell of criminal defamation (6-month suspended sentence). The letter calls those same lawful proceedings 'malicious' — while writing to the police to ask them to instead investigate the man who had filed them. Recorded as Lie #78.

/lies — Lie #78 (gangsters at residence fabrication)/evidence/witness-intimidation

#6SELF-DEFEATING

“Bryan 'maliciously filed criminal charges against me for defamation, as well as civil lawsuits claiming damages amounting to several million baht'.”

The truth: The very proceedings the letter calls 'malicious' resulted in Howell's criminal-defamation conviction on 28 August 2025. A defamation case is not 'malicious' when the defendant is convicted on the merits. Calling the prosecution that convicted you 'malicious' — in a letter asking the police to instead investigate the prosecuting party — is the structural pattern of a defendant attempting to weaponise the state against the complainant. Three further Thai criminal cases for false allegations and one civil case are pending against Howell on the same fact pattern.

#7FABRICATION

“Bryan and 'his network of foreign nationals' have been involved in 'cryptocurrency fraud schemes among foreign communities'.”

The truth: This is projection. The documented cryptocurrency fraud in this story is Adam Howell's own — he operates the Dope Coin and SuperDoge rug-pull schemes already documented on this site (see /profiles/howell and /evidence/false-investor-claims). Accusing Bryan of 'cryptocurrency fraud schemes' in a letter to the police, when Howell himself is the documented crypto-scammer in the story, is the same projection pattern already documented across the campaign — Drummond's articles use the same inversion (Position Paper #135).

/profiles/howell /evidence/false-investor-claims

#8FABRICATION

“Bryan's network was involved in 'illegal entry into the United Kingdom'.”

The truth: Bryan Flowers is a British national from Coventry. He cannot 'illegally enter' the country of which he is a national. The allegation is absurd on its face and a reader who knows the basic facts of the case can dismiss it within seconds — which is itself revealing about the standard of fact-checking applied to Howell's letter before it reached AHTD's desk. Recorded as Lie #80.

/lies — Lie #80 (illegal UK entry fabrication)

#9FABRICATION

“Bryan and his network associate 'with gangsters belonging to the "Hell's Angels" gang, which still operates in Pattaya without being arrested'.”

The truth: Bryan is not associated with the Hell's Angels gang. There is no documentation of any such association — in this letter, in Drummond's 21 articles, in any Thai police record, or in any public source. The 'Hell's Angels' branding is added to inflate the threat level of the letter and to invite a particular kind of police interest. Recorded as Lie #79.

/lies — Lie #79 (Hell's Angels association fabrication)

#10FALSE

“The reason Bryan's network has not been arrested 'is due to their financial influence and close ties with certain local officials, allowing them to evade arrest, asset seizure, and prosecution for money laundering'.”

The truth: There has been no money-laundering investigation, no asset-seizure proceedings, no arrest evaded, because there is no underlying conduct. Bryan has a clean criminal record — UK ACRO and Royal Thai Police certificates confirm zero criminal record, and Pattaya City, Banglamung, Tourist Police and CSD records all confirm zero investigations. The 'financial influence over officials' framing is the same recycled inversion used across the 21 Drummond articles: Howell's own writing to the police (and to Drummond) is itself the documented attempt to influence official action against Bryan — while accusing Bryan of doing precisely that.

/verification — ACRO + Thai police certificates /lies — Lie #1 ('on the run' framing)

Drummond Used This Source — Knowingly

The Single Source at the Bottom of 21 Articles

In his own article of 2 December 2025 titled “Investor Starts Legal Actions Against Brit in Thai Sex Industry Who Coveted His Fortune”, Drummond wrote that “we were contacted by Howell who unloaded his files”. That is the same Howell whose files include the letter above — a letter the author would shortly after be convicted of criminal defamation for the underlying allegations of.

By the time Drummond was publishing on Howell's material, Howell had: an unresolved commercial dispute with Bryan; a documented vendetta against multiple ex-business-partners; criminal-defamation proceedings already pending against him; and a personal financial relationship with Drummond (Howell's own written admission of paying Drummond — and offering him a percentage of any future payout — is at /evidence/paid-to-troll). Forensic audio analysis of the recordings Drummond used to give his articles credibility found at least four splice points (documented at /evidence/lawyer-intimidation-may-2026 claim #4). Drummond knew all of this and published anyway.

The 21 articles, the 20 May 2026 burner posts, the 10 June 2026 wanted-poster flyer, the ‘sex meat-grinder’ framing — all of it rests on the word of the man who wrote the letter above. That is the foundation rock. There is nothing beneath it.
