Lies from Andrew Drummond.
Meet Andrew Drummond.
Andrew Drummond claims he's a world famous UK journalist, but he doesn't do any real research, and he's totally one-sided and biased. What he writes instead are lies and twists about his subject matters. Adam Howell, the main source of recent Drummond articles who is not a whistleblower but a disgruntled former business partner with a financial dispute of one of Drummond's main targets, is feeding him full of lies, and it's said by well-informed sources that he's paying for an ongoing smear campaign against Bryan Flowers. Andrew Drummond has even attacked Adam for living off bar girls in Pattaya and has knowingly lied about countless points, yet Drummond continues to use him as a source, despite being well aware of his unreliableness.
75 year old Andrew edits his articles constantly without transparently acknowledging corrections like a proper journalist does, he has even attacked Adam Howell (of who he despises) but Adam Howell has forced him to remove any negative coverage or even neutral points made about him from various articles (With threats of no more payments) As stated above, Andrew previously wrote that Adam was living off the back of bar girls and losing his investment was karma, but that was quickly edited.
These are some known lies from Andrew Drummond that are easy to verify. It is not meant to be an all inclusive list.
–Andrew has claimed Bryan is on the run, but he goes to the UK once a year with his children, and he's in Thailand most of the year.
–Andrew claims that an underage girl was found in Flirt bar and she was trafficked. It was already a known fact that there was no underage girl found in any raid, and the girl that The Exodus Road sent to work at Flirt used another girl's ID card. She was the tallest girl in the bar at the time she worked. No one was trafficked, the police were paid to write 38 statements that were exactly the same (word for word) and threatened the girl (who worked there 4 months before the raid) to say that she was trafficked. However, the girl lived outside of the bar with her Thai boyfriend and has mentioned several times that the police forced her to sign that she was trafficked. The case was also illegal because the police did not gather any evidence themselves at all, they accepted all the evidence from a corrupt and bias charity. The Exodus Road also paid for the case to be taken to the Bangkok courts versus the Pattaya courts due to the lack of evidence of any trafficking, and they paid for an outcome, which will be appealed and won.
–Andrew claims that Bryan has a second wife/girlfriend in Phnom Penh, he's also claimed that Bryan has a bar there. He has said this to try to get Bryan's wife to leave him.
–Andrew claims that Adam Howell has won a court case against Bryan and that Bryan never appealed the 6-month sentence that Adam Howell got for defamation. In fact, for the sentence on the defamation case, Bryan appealed it, and Adam said he did, but he didn't.
–Adam Howell has made several false allegations against Bryan, including fraud, which have been dismissed due to zero evidence, just baseless lies from Adam Howell.
–Andrew said that Adam Howell didn't use the bars as a customer and had no idea his investment was for bars. Adam was a regular soi 6 customer until he started being violent towards the girls and trying to give illegal drugs to staff. He was a regular on bar crawls, often seen at bars with hostesses, and was well known at one point due to being a bar regular.
–Andrew said that Adam wanted payback for him not getting paid (even though he was offered money), but later he changed it to Adam found out about human trafficking later and decided to blow the whistle. There is no human trafficking down Soi 6.
–Andrew said that Bryan Flowers offered to pay Adam Howell 1-2 million baht in court when he had Adam in court for defamation. This doesn't make sense at all. Andrew pretended that other things were going on in the court, but it was a defamation case against Adam, which he lost. There will be a civil defamation case, for which Adam will have to pay compensation for all the problems he has caused. There is already an appeal to increase his 6-month suspended sentence.
–Andrew keeps claiming, especially in social media comments, that Bryan paid for his wife to get free and leave the others in jail. This is a very horrible thing to say and very inaccurate. Bryan's wife was never at the business; she only had her name on the QR code. The people jailed worked at the bars daily, which makes them closer to the setup. Also Andrew says that they are blaming everything on the cashier — it was the cashier that discovered later that the girl lied about her age and decided to keep it quiet for a bit, until she left, and since the raid/arrest, she has worked against everyone, lying about everything and never turned up to any court cases. She was found and arrested before the verdict. She has caused all the problems. A lot of money has been paid for 3-4 lawyers to work on this case, multiple bail attempts, and it was a mess-up by some lawyers in Bangkok and some funny business, which caused the case to be lost in the first court, but the team is not guilty; only the cashier deserves jail. It is absolutely appalling and shameful that Andrew Drummond can lie about stuff like this when everyone has been under so much stress from being set up and paying so much. These are some of the worst/vile, and nastiest bits that Andrew has written about this case. Also, Andrew has caused a lot of problems for William and his family, who is innocent and locked up in jail right now. An absolute disgrace!
–Adam was not recruited as an investor while working online. He was a customer of the bars and had been drinking, taking girls, going on bar crawls with the dirty boys (A group of regular visitors at the time), and a regular on the street for some time before talking to Bryan about becoming an investor.
–Andrew claims that Bryan Flowers' entrepreneur group is dead or gone. But, it's bigger than ever.
–Andrew claims that Bryan Flowers wiped his social media in a frenzy, but he lost two of his very old Facebook accounts due to completely unrelated Facebook strikes, likely due to mass reporting by Andrew or Adam Howell.
–Andrew says Bryan's dad is a controlling investor on the Soi 6 bars. This is an outright lie and is part of his smear campaign on Bryan. (going after most his family, including say that Bryans brother is involved in the bars, who has zero involvement.) Yes, Bryans family have received nasty messages from Adam Howell.
–Andrew lied and said Adam Howells' dividends initially were being blocked because of a dispute with Scott (Another investor) over crypto. When Adam Howell attacked Scott and Rob Dey all over the internet, they stopped offering his money back. The payment from the bars stopped to Adam at the same time due to covid. Everyone had no income during covid. This was not mentioned once. The payments for Adam would have started again as they did for other investors, but were blocked because he became threatening, made false allegations, made defamation videos, and started to threaten extortion and blackmail, rather than wait like everyone else. Adam asked to get paid out and when it wasn't enough, he didn't ask for more, he went on the attack using Andrew Drummond as a mouthpiece after a failed attempt to extort Bryan Flowers, even warning in front of police that he would do so, in a clear act of extortion/coercement.
–Running an unregistered business, which is different from a licensed one, which every bar is, doesn't make something a criminal organisation and, in the scheme of things, is a minor charge. Probably every bar and indeed most restaurants and other establishments in the city would be this way then.
–Punnipa, Bryan's wife, was not jailed and is pending appeal. She was never involved in the Soi 6 bars or had anything to do with any staff. Punnipa never went to Soi 6 and never had any role in recruiting, managing or making any decisions. Despite all this, Andrew Drummond calls her a child trafficker. Punnipa Flowers runs Rage Fight Academy and The Pattaya News Thai. The only thing that she did wrong was to let customers use her bank QR code for some of the bars.
–Andrew claims that Bryan Flowers runs a big media company and runs many soi 6 bars. Bryan hasn't been involved in running any bars since 2018 and has never been involved in any news business. As a founder and investor in 10+ businesses, he doesn't work on any of them, and has no direct control or involvement or any day to day operations, management, editorial direction, directorship, staffing, finance, or any other controlling aspects.
–Andrew calls Bryan a PIMP, but everyone who goes to Pattaya knows that there are 1000 drinking bars, and they do not make money from what customers allegedly do with the girls. He constantly calls the bars brothels and sex shops. In reality, everyone who goes to Thailand knows what all of these hostess bars do, and there is little difference to the other 1000 bars in Pattaya. The ladies in all of these bars make money directly from customers when they go on dates and what happens between two consenting adults is up to them. The bars make money from selling drinks to customers, and the barfines cover the salaries that the girls get for sitting there. Andrew also twisted the bonus system to say that ladies are forced to go with customers or to get x amount of drinks. It is a common practice for all bars in Thailand to give bonuses every time the girl gets an extra drink (as well as the commission) and the bar fines. All of the ladies choose to do this job; there is no trafficking in Pattaya. Soi 6 has thousands and thousands of customers every week, and none of them have ever met an underage girl or a trafficked one. There are millions of witnesses, but Andrew's audience is totally clueless and just reads his vile titles. Andrew Drummond knows this, and so does every bar owner. You would have to be totally insane to employ an underage lady; the risk is absolutely massive. Andrew Drummond knows this, and Adam knows that Bryan's bars had a strict 18-plus policy and they had zero issues in 12 years, and they have over 800 ladies at any one time. (probably 30,000-50,000 ladies employed over 11 years – because lots of ladies get boyfriends or married off fast) Surprisingly, Ricky Pandora has one of the dirtiest hands on bars in Pattaya, and he is Andrew Drummond's biggest informant. How does Andrew attack people for doing less than what his friend Ricky Pandora does? Andrew knew him from the days he had sex with his gogo girls.
–Andrew mentions that Adam Howell contacted Nick Dean to alert him about human trafficking, but what he didn't mention is that Adam was very aggressive and threatening. (the same behaviour he has done with staff, investors and partners of Scott and Rob) Adam Howell was trying to coerce Nick into an extortion scam against Bryan for money and threatened Nick that if he didn't join him, he would be attacked, as he is now. (by Andrew Drummond)
–Andrew claimed someone can't get a work permit to be a bar manager, but removed it later. Maybe his best friend, Ricky Pandora, told him it was wrong.
–Andrew Drummond removed a statement saying Adam is not a habitual defender of human rights and women and children. (one of the few truthful things he has said) He also removed saying Adams' main focus was payback/revenge, not justice for children and women.
–Andrew Drummond claims Night Wish group virtually owns all the bars on soi 6. There are 4 groups down there, but the only focus for Andrew is the one that Bryan is a part owner of, he's also attacked two other group owners that Bryan is friends with.
–Andrew Drummond claims bar managers were cleared from the bars following the verdict on Will. They had been gone for years, minus one, and were unrelated to this entire situation, and due to performance-related issues and problems they caused.
–Andrew Drummond says that Bryan has been spending company money on other projects. Bryan has no access to the finances or money of the bars on Soi 6. He is paid transparently by the finance team, like everyone else.
–Andrew claims Rage was the main provider of education visas for bar managers, and claims that they upset Fairtex by competing with them for Muay Thai visas. Not one manager ever got an education visa from Rage, and the visas were done in business partnership with Fight Visa/Fairtex.
–Andrew claims that Jizzflicker, ladyboy blogs, and many others are written by Bryan Flowers, when the truth is, Bryan has 203 domains and hosts tons of websites/forums for many people, and some were written for fun by several other people. Bryan has never written about sex with ladyboys.
–Andrew Drummond says Night Wish bars are controlled by Brits, but the group was very diverse from all around the world. (Bryan and his dad are the only Brits involved, and Bryan's dad has never been directly involved in terms of controlling aspects, and Bryan hasn't been involved since before 2018, so there are no Brits controlling any of the bars) This is made up by Andrew Drummond to try to get more interest from UK press. They won't be interested anyway, as it's fairly boring and repetitive to the average reader, and at its heart, a personal feud between two former business partners over money. It is also untrue that most bar managers were British, they were from all around the world.
–Andrew Drummond said that Nick Dean lied in court, (during the defamation case against Adam) Nick was sent a youtube video link by Adam Howell that was first public, then changed to unlisted, however, it doesn't make any difference if it was listed or not listed. (it was still accessible and shared around) Adam Howell sent the link to several people to threaten and extort Bryan Flowers. He used video footage stolen from the CP group and dubbed over vile lies about the Soi 6 bars. CP group lawyers have been contacted with Adams' details, because he said that the child actors were trafficked. He threatened to get the FBI onto Nick Dean and accused him of trafficking children, also.
–Andrew Drummond claims that Bryan Flowers has been running a Ponzi scheme. The last investor he had was in 2018; everything is self-funded, and everyone who invested in the bars is still getting paid very well. The only reason Adam Howell's payments never started up again was because of all the trouble, defamation, stress, extortion, and false allegations he had made against the bars he invested in. He asked to get paid out, but went on the attack instead, which is what he has done with several partners before. Adam has also borrowed money from several people, one of whom was using some of his shares as collateral, but he has never paid anyone back and currently owes his landlord 2-3 million baht. (he is literally living off his retired landlord because hes an alcoholic/ice user, also addicted to video games, who hasn't worked for over a decade, he just jumped on any crypto runs/bump and dumps.)
–Andrew Drummond suggested that Bryan is involved in shipping cannabis overseas. Bryan has never been involved in such a project.
–Andrew has stated several times that Bryan Flowers' arrest was imminent and was being investigated, but it wasn't true. He has claimed Bryan will lose all the bars, which isn't true. He has also tied Bryan directly several times with the issues at Flirt bar, but Bryan hasn't been involved in any operations of the bars for many years; he failed to mention that no underage girl was found, or that it was a setup. It's funny that Adam Howell knows that the bars were set up, and he attacked The Exodus Road online, but as soon as he started attacking all his partners, he switched sides, using it as an attack point. Andrew Drummond knows ALL of this, but he still pumps out lies because Adam Howell pays him. Adam Howell has also told police it was him who set up the bars, but it wasn't him. (Andrew Drummond has been supplied evidence of Adam's confession and false allegations to the police but he refuses to acknowledge any of it) Even The Exodus Road have ignored Adams' pleas to go after Bryan Flowers.
–Andrew Drummond lied and said that Bryan made money getting his friend Kenot out of jail (who was caught with 8 grams of cocaine). Bryan owed Kenot money at the time and didn't let him rot, as many people in Pattaya would have. Bryan was the first one to see him, get a lawyer and arrange bail. Three people, including Bryan, put their hands in their pockets and paid the money themselves; there was no fundraising, no asking for money. Bryan put 30% of the money in. 800,000 for lawyer and 800,000 for bail. No one paid judges and Bryan had nothing to do with Kenot skipping bail.
–Andrew lied and said that Bryan Flowers and co sold virgins, but there is no evidence of that at all. There was a lady who came to Pattaya at one time who was a virgin, and she requested someone decent to meet with her. Adam Howell was asked if he wanted to meet her as he was looking for a girlfriend, but he saved the message to use against people later. (This was before they found out Adam was a violent drunk with the ladies and asked some to smoke ice)
–Andrew accuses Bryan of being into bestiality and messaged several people this. He also messaged people acting like some really sinister news was coming out about Bryan, and that everyone should stay away from him. He is referring to manager/childish group chats between men and friends who shared all sorts of stuff.
–Andrew has lied and said that Bryan's wife is a nominee and that many companies are therefore illegal; he even admitted to reporting the companies to Thai authorities in an attempt to get them raided or shut down (Which an unbiased and neutral journalist would surely not directly insert himself on one side, which he did). However, Punnipa Flowers is a real partner and owner of a gym, Muay Thai resort, fight gear brand, and news.
–Andrew lied and said that Bryan brought a mansion and a Mercedes with Adam Howell's money. Bryan was renting a 3-bedroom house for 55,000 baht a month at this time, which is why Bryan invited Adam to look at his house and the ones nearby. Now Bryan is renting another house with 5 bedrooms a month for 55,000 baht a month. (including gardener and maintenance) Bryan does not own the house he lives in. Is it a crime to have a big house? Is it a crime to have a 7-year-old Mercedes? Bryan financed the Mercedes before he met Adam Howell and paid it off over 5 years.
–Andrew said that Adam had no money over COVID, but he was in a 60,000 a month house, he was scamming NFT's, and where did the 2m USD from crypto pump and dumps go? Also, why didn't he get a job or an alternate source of income during covid as many others worldwide did? Why didn't he go back to Canada? Because he is an alcoholic, is also addicted to video games which consumed most of his time, burnt all his bridges with his family, and he REFUSES to get a job. He just wants fast cash from crypto scams. Andrew also said Adam Howell was eating from donated food during COVID, which wasn't true; he had money for alcohol, video game subscriptions and purchases, women, and drugs. On the photos of a soi 6 girls Facebook, we found new gym equipment, lots of protein powder, and a whiteboard with his NFT scams written on it. These photos were seen by Andrew, but he continued with the lies.
–Andrew claimed that Bryan killed Adam's dog. This is one of the silliest ones. Adam would constantly send 4 am rants to Bryan throughout COVID, asking for money. Bryan even offered him a job just to help him. (Bryan borrowed a lot of money to survive covid shutdowns) One night, Adam messaged Bryan, and Bryan saw it in the morning. It was Adam asking Bryan for money yet again, trying to guilt-trip him about his lady friend's dog being sick. When Bryan woke up, Adam already said it was all sorted. Then, apparently, a week or two later, the dog died, and Adam told Andrew that Bryan caused it. But the girl who owned the dog posted on Facebook that it had been having problems for a while. The dog died after Adam raised millions on superdoge NFT scam.
–Andrew Drummond claimed that the bar security from Bryan's bars beat up English guys at Helicopter bar. But it was already proven and a well-known fact that the English guys started the problem; they were barely injured, and it wasn't Bryan's bars or security. Also, they blame two other incidents on Bryan's security, including a customer accidentally killing another customer a decade ago in a bar that had nothing to do with any of Bryan's bars. They even posted pictures on Reddit of a guy in a coma from an incident outside of a bar that wasn't associated with Bryan or any of his bars, but an unrelated issue with a vehicle.
–Andrew Drummond claims that he has been back to Thailand since he ran away from all the allegations, however he still has active legal cases against him, and new ones over the years. He went after senior Thai police, Deputy Prime Ministers, His Royal Majesty the King who is beloved in Thailand, powerful members of the Thai military, and several other senior government officials. The attacks against His Royal Majesty the King have been deleted, but we have screenshots.
–Andrew Drummond ran off from Thailand across the border over a decade ago because of many legal cases, most of which were defamation. This was after harassing, insulting and making up stuff about his victims. He lied to other media and said that he ran away from Thailand because he is taking on big criminals and was under threat. But the truth is, he ran from legal issues. None of the other news reported anything that he wrote because there was no evidence. He called several people boiler room guys, and many years later, he deleted it all without any apologies or retractions. Many real journalists report on criminals without facing any issues. Andrew tries to destroy everything people have with unfounded repeated accusations, enough to drive many guys over the edge, but everyone responded legally.
–Andrew says that Bryan and co are trying to silence him, but anyone in the world who is getting harassed, abused, or defamed in a smear campaign is going to complain and give their side of the story. If it were real, neutral reporting, there would be no action to take. But it's harassment and outright lies.
–Andrew Drummond keeps saying 3 violent incidents down soi 6 was related to Bryan Flowers bars, but none of them were, this is to further damage their reputation and cause as much hate as possible. When these incidents unfolded, Adam and Andrew used false accounts to spread the word that Bryan's bars were involved in these 3 incidents, but none of them were. This created a lot of hate at the time, but they are repeating it on Andrew's articles. (which further shows Andrew knowingly lies)
–Andrew Drummond claims his only source Adam Howell, who has scammed multiple people in the crypto space, has helped raise 500,000 USD to charity. But it was another scam.
–Andrew Drummond claims to have found 'Gary Glitter' in Vietnam. The News of the World journalist who tracked down Gary Glitter in Vietnam in November 2005 was Dominik Lemanski. Lemanski confronted Glitter at his villa in the seaside resort of Vung Tau, where the singer was reportedly living with an underage girl. This confrontation and the subsequent newspaper report triggered a police investigation into Glitter's activities, leading to his arrest, conviction, and imprisonment in Vietnam for child sex abuse. It was not Andrew Drummond.
In Andrew's recent article, another lie that Andrew said was that Scott's wife was from NWG bars; he was with her way before the bar group was started, and she was NOT from Soi 6. Drummond is trying to ruin another person's reputation. It is a common trend for Andrew to target and insult people's wives. Lots of Andrew readers have ladies from bars, also, the mother of Drummond's children isn't squeaky clean either.
Andrew repeatedly claims that Bryan likes ladyboys and owns ladyboy websites. This further discredits him with pretty much 1000's of people.
Another fact for this article.
It was Andrew Drummond who sent the trafficking case verdict from the first court to The Sun news and many other newspapers. Only The Sun accepted it; the details were wrong, and they thanked him on the page for the photo of innocent William Bilton, which has caused huge distress for his mum and brothers. William was locked up for something he didn't do and Andrew knew fully well that he isn't guilty, but he poured salt on the wounds, it is an absolute tragedy for everyone involved, including the girl that was forced to lie to say she was trafficked. (who retracted it in court and has made several statements since) Andrew's criminal Thai lady friend went to the courts (there was absolutely no public interest in the case, and nothing was expected to go wrong), and she fed information back to Andrew Drummond, who tried to get it in all the UK news, to further harass everyone.
Many people did not believe Andrew Drummond about much of what he said because of the way he attacked and had lied several times in the past. But, he used The Sun news article (which he sent them) as evidence to further attack. And now Williams' face is all over the internet and UK news. Everyone on Soi 6 and in Pattaya knows that no one traffics women in Pattaya, that no one hires underage women, and that managers are never involved in recruitment. The girl that The Exodus Road planted in Flirt bar was the tallest in the bar, she used a real friend's ID, and she was long gone many, many months before the raid in 2023. The Exodus Road tried desperately to get her back into Flirt bar for the raid, but she refused to go there. The cashier at Flirt bar found out she was 16 at some point and she decided to keep it quiet, she has been working with the police since the day of the arrest, she ran off and missed every single hearing. She is the only one who deserves jail. Adam Howell and Andrew know this is the truth, but they have both twisted it and said that she is being blamed for everything. There is some paper evidence from the cashier that she knew due to crossing out names. But she is the one who has signed all of the statements that the police wrote on her behalf.
Andrew Drummond's criminal Thai lady friend has offered to help this cashier for free, to try to cause more problems. This has created the cashier further problems, just because Andrew wants to destroy everyone's lives.
