https://www.cambodiadaily.com/news/thai ... es-125405/The British man who allegedly ordered the murder of another U.K. national in Thailand last month has been jailed for separate offenses in Phnom Penh, and is now awaiting trial for breach of trust and living in Cambodia illegally, officials said....
He was charged under the immigration law for entering the country illegally and fraudulently altering resident or work cards—crimes that carry maximum prison sentences of six months and 15 years, respectively—Mr. Sok said. Breach of trust is punishable by up to three years in prison and a fine of up to 6 million riel, or about $1,500.
Uk Heisela, chief of investigations at the Interior Ministry’s immigration department, confirmed Mr. Nelhams’ imprisonment, but said he had no information about his alleged connection to the murder.
“The court charged him for not having a passport,” Mr. Heisela said, adding that he had not received a request from Thai authorities to extradite Mr. Nelhams, who had been living in Cambodia for eight years.

Here's another article about the murderers mentioning a bar in Phnom Penh but omitting the name of the bar. It's weird. I understand that it's 21 Bar.

http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/crime/1 ... odia-fraudPHNOM PENH: A Cambodian court on Thursday sentenced a British man suspected of involvement in the gangland-style slaying of another Briton in the Thai resort town of Pattaya to eight months in prison for fraud.
Toby James Nelhams was one of three men sought by Thai police in the Jan 24 shooting death of Tony Kenway as he sat in his parked Porsche SUV.
Thai media reported that Kenway's widow described him as a website designer, but that police linked him to a gambling website, among other activities, and that the suspects were allegedly involved with financial crimes.
Phnom Penh Municipal Court found Nelhams guilty of fraud but dropped charges of entering Cambodia illegally, working without a passport or work permit. It's unclear if Thailand ever formally sought his extradition.
Thai police have said the two other suspects, a South African suspected of being the shooter and a Briton believed to have been his getaway driver, fled to Cambodia. Their current whereabouts are unknown. Nelhams was suspected of having masterminded the killing.

Toby's back in the news, this time after being investigated by The Sun over bitcoin scams run from PP.
Full article: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/uknews/64 ... on-a-year/International Bitcoin Scams Run From Phnom Penh
A CRIMINAL gang boasting of ripping off millions from savers using investment scams including celebrity Bitcoin adverts is today exposed by The Sun.
Our reporters have infiltrated a British gang impersonating real companies in scams known as "clone fraud" to steal money from householders.
Lea then set up a group WhatsApp conversation introducing our reporter to “James”, a Brit managing a gang of 40 scammers working in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, who boasted they are ripping off savers.
There is no suggestion Lea, who acts as a recruiter, himself defrauded victims over the phone.
In a follow-up call James, speaking from Cambodia, brazenly told our reporter how they “fabricated” companies to steal money from “stupid” and “greedy” people.
A whistleblower has told how James's bogus investment firm is similar to one previously run by Brit Toby Nelhams who was convicted of fraud last year in Cambodia.
Nelhams was originally suspected by Thai police of involvement in the murder of Brit fraudster Tony Kenway last year but has not been prosecuted and is no longer thought to be wanted over the crime.
Toby Nelhams, convicted of fraud in September and sentenced to eight months, was apparently out of jail by the start of this year
The gang pay developers to create swanky websites and route numbers through financial centres such as Hong Kong to con savers – while regularly creating new company names to imitate real firms.
James boasted the criminal outfit, mainly employing Brits, was a “Wolf of Wall Street” scam making £750,000-a-month with staff splurging victims’ cash on “beer”, “drugs and hookers”.
He added: “What we do is very unethical, if you have no moral dilemmas you’ll do very well in this business.
“We go after people who have money and are greedy enough and stupid enough to send us their money and that’s how we’re able to pay our brokers 20% on any account they open.
The clone fraud gangs targeting UK savers are based in offices around the globe
When asked whether people will get their money back, a laughing James replied: “No, they are not going to get that money back – we’ve got brokers who open three, four, five accounts a month.
“They’ve got very nice apartments and they like to go out at the weekends and spend their money on drugs and hookers. I’ve done it for ten years myself. Majority of our guys here are Brits
“We typically deal with US stocks - we’ve worked with Twitter in the past, Facebook, Goldman Sachs. We’ve just dealt with a couple of IPOs – anything basically.
“Some of the best emails I’ve seen come in people have spent hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars complaining ‘you’re a sophisticated scam’.
Bringing the news. You stay classy, nas, Cambodia.
Has no move ever sighted these blokes or is the expat community just so big now. And no no one knows of the boiler room? Only today a mate was telling me of his rich, savvy friend who was nearly scammed. He is on the phone with the bitcoin broker and they are both looking at a screen of his online banking accounts!

If the UK was actually able to block his extradition from Cambodia to Thailand, then surely they’ll be able to block it from Spain to Thailand.gavinmac wrote:Nelhams has been arrested in Spain:
