I don't think most law firms would refuse to take on a case from a low-income person if they thought the outcome would almost certainly be a big pay out.gavinmac wrote:You'd be at DFDL Monday morning, then they would tell you their billing rates, and you would leave.
I'm not suggesting their rates are unreasonably high.
I may be wrong...but it doesn't make good business sense, does it?

The right hand photo is from the other Ardmann's Facebook page and so was taken 5 years ago. It's pretty damn accurate that age site. Try it out.
i just tried it and it said i look 36 and my friend looks 15
another said i look 42 and my friend looks 17
that site can go suck a dick!!
It was spot on with all the photos I tried. Maybe your friends just have weird faces. Or perhaps it might not work too well with selfies?
So what's going on since I've been away then? APLE been busted yet? How about the embassy? CD been brought weeping to its knees? FBI and Immigration police thrown in the towel? Or is it still just that one person's life has been ruined by a combination of the above mentioned? The question is rhetorical.
I really think it needs to be bashed out by deduction what exactly happened and where the blame lies.
GM, IYO, and with as much info as we have atm, who's fault was it do you think? Embassy, APLE , both or a hidden third party etc?
There seems to be doubt cast by yourself on CEO whether the Facebook photo was of the real Oregon perp ?

So who told the cops? Only APLE or the embassy / FBI would have known. Sounds like someone said something they shouldn't have that resulted in it being reported as as sex crime. Initially in Khmer media, but later in the CD, who called it pedophilia.gavinmac wrote:You'd be at DFDL Monday morning, then they would tell you their billing rates, and you would leave.

The embassy worked with local authorities to arrest someone for a valid charge, visa overstay, pretextual though it may have been to find out if he was a serious criminal. That's one way cops catch bad guys. It doesn't offend me. The cops and embassy determined he wasn't who they thought he might be, they let him go.
The Khmer cops screwed up by telling the press they caught a 44 year old sex offender. The press screwed up by reporting it. I know it's sexier to blame the embassy but they are not primarily at fault here.
The embassy probably knew him kight not be the guy before he was arrested but figured what's the harm in working with local police to arrest one of our citizens on a valid visa charge so we can get a better look at him and his documents and see if he's a pedophile with the same name
I guess this is the harm right here. I'd argue it was unforseeable it would blow up like this. I might lose that argument.
Your right, it is sexy.

Oh STFU GM, honestly. He has just had one of the better papers here do a complete stitch up job on him for what looks like no other reason than something to fill the front page with.gavinmac wrote:They are not only your business now, since you've been foolishly blabbing about them in a public online discussion with your real name in the title that will exist on the Internet in perpetuity.
Are you now seriously suggesting he lets the KhmerTimes put the record straight. Their only interest in this is to sell papers and not clear him. If they needed to, they would write whatever helped them and NOT what would help him.
Sure they have a battle to fight with the CD, and they wouldn't mind using sniper as ammunition in it.
If anyone comes across this thread they will immediately see that he is not a sex offender of children or otherwise. That is once the admin are convinced and the thread title is changed to something like US Embassy in PP Totally Fucks Up and Releases Information That Accuses Innocent Man of Child Sex Offenses: Embassy Remains Silent
Many of the KT's stories are also published in Khmer. BAD MOVE.

As far as I can remember the case under discussion involved someone who had already been tried and sentenced.sniper_m4 wrote: Even if someone was wanted for a sex crime that does not make them a pedophile and calling someone that is complete unprofessional reporting and they should be ashamed of themselves.

And it involved a child. Once again sniper_m4 is making arguments that aren't helping him. He should just be saying "I'm not Oregon Eric Erdman," not trying to defend the Oregon Eric Erdman's reputation.

You're wrong in several levels.vladimir wrote:I don't think most law firms would refuse to take on a case from a low-income person if they thought the outcome would almost certainly be a big pay out.gavinmac wrote:You'd be at DFDL Monday morning, then they would tell you their billing rates, and you would leave.

This is not the work a corporate firm takes on. Secondly the libel laws are so nebulous here that it wouldn't be worth any worthwhile firm taking such a case on some kind of win basis, and thirdly there is no guarantee he would win such a case.

The quote I got from them was twice what a good khmer lawyer charged me and they had many additional uncapped fees as well.
Great if your are an international corporation who wants a name, but if you want to avoid being raped up the ass it is the last firm I would deal with in PP.
of course your experience in dealing with them may well be different, hence your recommendation of them.
Note to self: Must be nice to morons.

GM's advice is sound. The press can't be trusted and the witness is unreliable but if you're going to roll the dice, this has the best chance of success - KT is probably anti-CD and the truth should speak for itself. That said, the Daily should be allowed the opportunity to correct their mistake before jumping into a war that one may not be fully up to. If the Daily does the right thing and publishes a reasonable correction, this war and its unpredictability can be avoided. As much as I'd like to see the Daily's shoddy biased reporting on foreigners and sex crimes all dragged through the mud, I don't think that would necessarily work out best for sniper in the end.gavinmac wrote:You're not a "big boy" if you let your wife decide whether you talk to English language press about coverage of you. I understand why she doesn't want to "allow" you to talk to the Khmer Times but she's making the wrong decision and you are too.
The Khmer Times is your best friend here. They would love to show that the Daily got this wrong.
You don't want the Daily article to be the only online report about this. People will see that whenever they Google your name for the rest of your life. They will read it and conclude you are a pedophile. Without a contrary article out there explaining the mistaken ID, you will have a hard time convincing anyone of this year's from now.

So am I understanding this correctly? You have been accused of other crimes sniper4? You do not want to say.
Fair enough. You can renew your passport with warrants. But when you do, you had better be aware of the obstructions the State Dept. in the USA can electronically and physically deter you with.
Stop hiding your past shit. Let it all hang out. Can't be worse than some of us.
CAN IT?

No, they will see 22 pages and counting of people arguing with each other. During the first 4 pages, Erdman appears to be guilty. Then other people piece together what happened, but it's a convoluted, rambling discussion.Mr Lovejuice wrote: If anyone comes across this thread they will immediately see that he is not a sex offender of children or otherwise.
If you need to direct a hiring manager to 500+ comments on an internet message board in order to convince him you're not a pedophile, including your own comments that you're a twice convicted thief and fugitive from Illinois, then you're not getting the job.
