The most ridiculous assertion in Keo Vanny's letter is that Khmer440 posts have a high SEO ranking.

Of course he has. Do you know a single Cambodian lawyer who would write such nonsense? Plus they'd charge a (hefty,, like $1k) retainer that Jewsbury doesn't have.Could William Jewsbury have stolen the header, written out the entire letter, and is pretending to be a Cambodian Attorney?

How are you guys getting these demand letters and has anyone responded to the email address on the letterhead instead of to the yahoo address?

If you google [email protected] it seems he does use that email address. And the letter is written in Khmer broken English not in Chav broken English. I suspect it's legit.
A Western lawyer would charge $1,000. A Cambodian lawyer might charge fifty bucks.

He sent the letter to a totally random person that emailed it to me. He then sent Facebook messages to Playboy and Pedros, for whatever reason. He may have sent a letter to “webmaster@khmer440”, but that means Scoffer got it so it’s lost somewhere over the Pacific.gavinmac wrote:How are you guys getting these demand letters and has anyone responded to the email address on the letterhead instead of to the yahoo address?
I responded to the yahoo email, and sent a follow up to his official email asking if it were legit.
Migs, I’m not so sure Cambodian courts will agree with you on the application of American law here. It’s how technology works but the court is a gamble (remember what time it is). Last I checked your server was actually in Singapore hosted by a US company. Regardless, you are here, run the website from here, type and moderate usually from here, you target Cambodia and write about people in Cambodia. It can easily seem like Cambodian laws should apply. I guess this is the risk you don’t take when you live in Saudi. But you live here, have strong ties to here and probably wish to stay, yes? You’re at their mercy.
I know it’s funny to send TPB style FU emails referring to dead posters, but you should lawyer up and let them do the FU-ing with stamps and letterheads.
Jewsbury doesn’t need to pay to make the lawyer pursue a defamation case. It’s a criminal matter and the state compensates whether he wins or loses and with a profit share deal with Jewsbury he may think he can get something.
Buckle up and fuck Jewsbury and his bullshit.

Is there no compensation for a lawyer of a lost criminal case? There is where I come from. Normally the losing party pays i.e. the state in a criminal case.gavinmac wrote:What?

If defamation is a criminal matter, why would the accuser/alleged victim engage a private lawyer to pursue the case?Alexandra wrote:Is there no compensation for a lawyer of a lost criminal case?

If Jewsbury wished to see someone charged with a physical assault on him, he wouldn't go to a lawyer to get them charged with criminal assault, he'd go to the police and they would process the allegation?
So why would he go to a lawyer to press a case of criminal defamation and not the police?
All good questions. I would guess this is another one or Jewsbury’s get rich quick scams. The legal proceedings threatened with in the letter probably mean “we will call the cops” in practice.bipolar bear wrote:If defamation is a criminal matter, why would the accuser/alleged victim engage a private lawyer to pursue the case?

You can verify the claim that it’s a criminal matter with this protest letter from CCHR urging Cambodia to decriminalize defamation with extra info added.

What would he say in court? “I illegally took drugs and overstayed a number of visas, among other crimes, but my mum’s feelings were hurt about it so I deserve $50,000”?

This kind of seems like blackmail or extortion - if an actual crime took place: “pay me or I’ll go to the cops”.
