Executive Summary
In 30 seconds: Andrew Drummond, a 75-year-old British ex-journalist exiled from Thailand since 2015 following multiple defamation convictions, has published 21 defamatory articles plus 6 translations against British entrepreneur Bryan Flowers between December 2024 and February 2026. His sole source is Adam Howell, a convicted Canadian crypto scammer who has fled Thailand to Dubai to escape 3 pending criminal cases and 1 civil case.
The evidence: 391+ formal position papers, 65+ documented false statements with primary-source rebuttals, 84+ harassment videos across multiple platforms, 112+ Quora burner accounts, and a coordinated Reddit brigade via r/pattayanews. A 25-page Pre-Action Protocol Letter of Claim was served by Cohen Davis Solicitors on 13 August 2025 — Drummond has not responded. An updated letter was served on 18 February 2026.
The pattern:This is not Drummond's first target. Position Paper #24 documents a 14-year pay-per-smear business model targeting 10+ victims with 150+ articles. The Bryan Flowers case is the most extensively documented, but the playbook is the same: dual-site publishing (andrew-drummond.com and andrew-drummond.news), single-source reliance, coordination with Thai fixer Kanokrat Nimsamut Booth, and protection of informant Ricky Pandora (Pattaya's self-proclaimed "Godfather of Pimps").
