I had posted (an abridged version of) this comment in the original thread...
Of all the dirty, fucked up, pieces of shit lowlife western con men that come to Cambodia, this guy doesn't seem all that bad. If he was a paedophile, a kidnapper, a terrorist, a murderer or a rapist, then fuck him, he deserves to have his balls in a sling. But if he's wanted for stealing a car, who gives a shit?
That aside, assuming his credentials are bogus, that's a bigger issue than the car theft. Let's face it though, a PhD in psychology is a bullshit degree even if he had actually received one. So, not having one and pretending he did isn't too horrific to me. I doubt that any of his patients are any worse off than they would have been had they not seen him. If he is running a bogus NGO, that sucks, but that's the unfortunate reality of Cambodia. There are plenty of others like him.
The guy is a fucking idiot for using his real name, though. I would have taken the identity of a legitimate psychologist who was either dead or missing.

Since he's a wanted fugitive by the US government, they are a powerful figure so let them handle it. And basing from the news story is crime is hardly severe.
Yea man, though all the children exploitation prevention ect run by NGO and others has its merit, what they are doing is not going be effective in the long run. They ought to begin with issues committed by the natives themselves. But who dares? What this guy is doing is only a FRACTION of the daily happenings over there.willie wrote:I see that the K440 Parana Posse is beginning to stir, and stir they will. While they are at it why not look at the local scene and not just the foreigners. There are so many known big fish in Cambodia who engage in stealing from the public trust such as corrupt courts, judges on the take, land garbing, and corruption at most levels in the judicial system. It seems that the local K440 Posse work should begin here.
I would like to see a photo of one of our local corrupt judges posted just like Ken Wilcox. Keep up the good work!

He's not wanted for stealing a car. He's wanted for theft, but I'm pretty sure it's wasn't a car. Have you ever seen guys who get arrested for stealing cars? They are generally tough, hardened fuckers or grease monkey types who are good with cars.shizzle wrote: But if he's wanted for stealing a car, who gives a shit?
Wilcox is an allegedly gay, real or fake psychologist who posts a lot on facebook about relationships and loving people. He's not tough or manly enough to steal a car or mug someone or break into someone's house. His "theft" had to be a white collar crime of some sort, like stealing his gay lover's checkbook and going on a shopping spree at the Fort Lauderdale Bloomingdale's. Or maybe he sweet talked an old lady out of her life savings. But he didn't steal a car.
What did the Cambodia Daily say about him? Did they credit this website? Don't journalistic ethics require that now when reporters get info from websites?
And where is Dr. Ken now? Unavailable for comment?

Yea, many real culprits rarely come under the spotlight. They can be categorise into 3 types: the idiots, the powerful, and the money as leverage. The idiots are easy target partly because they don't know how to play the game. The latter 2 is a daunting one. I'll share the last one. Koreans are notorious on buying underage sex, more so after the 2003 crack down on brothels in Korea. Why you don't hear about them in the Cambodia medias? Because they are connected and can always use $ to buy their way out. Try living in SR for couple of months and observe.shizzle wrote:

I think the definition might vary from state to state.Jack Pot wrote:Isn't "grand theft" (aside from Hanky's video) one of those ones where you fiddled your taxes or something, it's not the theft that's grand but who you stole from.
I recall that it is based on the amount of money or value of items stolen and know of one person being charged with grand theft for allegedly stealing over $500.00 in cash, which is not very much really.
No idea about this case but there has been huge number of incidents of consumer credit card and mortgage frauds coming to light in the past few years in America.
How do you stop it? Will it have to been other country's authorities stepping in? I know they have been doing a pretty thorough job investigating and cracking down on Siem Reap organisations.
Its also pretty easy for the situation to seem a whole lot worse than it really is due to clever wording. I know for a fact my project was investigated and still under close watch because it would be easy to assume we are another one of the NGO's to pop up overnight, appeal for funds, and take random pictures of kids with bikes borrowed from down the street and live a comfortable existence on the funds we scam. In fact, its the organisation KidsCare that is the NGO, what we started was raising awareness of the situation in Cambodia in USA and Australia. It actually costs me money!!
Anyway, I'd like to know the full Ken story and I have his mobile number, so if he's still around for our appointment, I'll catch up on the goss.
I'm really interested as to how westerners treat known paedophiles or major criminal activities - ie if you knew it was going on, would you report and and who to? Or would you think it too risky to do so?

I wish there's a simple answer to this. I personally witnessed a couple during my time. 2 were happening right in front of my very eyes, the idiot types. There are 2 ways I can think of that you can go out it. 1) Cut a deal with the cops if culprit is a foreigner. 2) take the matter into your own hand.MissTara wrote:

GM, you could be right about the shopping spree at Bloomingdale's. According to the Boward County Clerk's office, he is wanted for "grand theft in the 3rd degree". There seem to be some conflicting reports as to what this means, but the general consensus is that it is defined as:
- * Worth $300 or more but less than $5,000.
* Worth $100 or more but less than $300, taken from unenclosed curtilage of dwelling.
* A motor vehicle.
* A fire extinguisher.
* A stop sign.
* A will or another form of testament.
* 2,000 or more pieces of citrus fruit.
* Anhydrous ammonia.
* A firearm.
* A commercial farm animal.

Keep in mind that Wilcox also has charges against him for being a really bad drunk driver, running a light, leaving his lane, trying to outrun the police, etc. Shizzle can post the image of those details, I can't work the computer that well. He actually skipped bail on the DUI/fleeing the police charge as well as the grand theft charge.
Let me tell you how Wilcox is going to spin this stuff to his flock of supporters in Cambodi. He's going to say that he made a mistake, he drove drunk once, he was going through personal stress at the time, he got treatment.
He will say he never intended to steal from anyone. The theft charge was just a misunderstanding from a domestic incident where he borrowed or mistakenly took something from someone and they called the police. That's how people always explain away theft charges on their records. They never admit "I was a thief."
As for the outstanding warrants, Wilcox will claim that he hired a lawyer to handle the criminal charges and the lawyer told him it had all been "taken care of," and that he had no idea that there were warrants for his arrest, so the lawyer must have misled him, and he's really a victim in all this. That's how people always explain outstanding warrants. They never admit "I didn't want to face the music so I jumped bail."

How the K440 community deal with this issue is all explained in this thread:MissTara wrote: I'm really interested as to how westerners treat known paedophiles or major criminal activities - ie if you knew it was going on, would you report and and who to? Or would you think it too risky to do so?

Put the perp's name into the K440 search engine for the backstory.
I came, I argued, I'm out
Grand theft is, generally speaking, simple theft of money or property over a certain dollar value or a specific type of property, depending on which state jurisdiction you happen to be in. E.g. in FL third degree grand theft is the theft of anything over $300. First degree, anything over $20,000. No telling from the charge against what happened. He could be a master jewel thief or some guy involved in a domestic dispute who took his wife's car without permission. To read between the lines of the complaint, it appears the cops are more upset that he ran than with the theft charge. Fleeing and eluding is the kind of thing you get charged with when you outrun the cops. Perhaps there's a good story behind what he did in the states, or maybe he's been involved in some as yet unmentioned nefarious activities in Cambodia. Even if he's just been practicing without proper credentials, that's worthy of attention and action. But if he's just a bullshitting foreigner with legal problems back home, well, this is after all Cambodia. At this point I don't understand why somebody would rat on this guy. Seems rather Dudly Doright to me. But then again, maybe there's something more to the story.Jack Pot wrote:Isn't "grand theft" (aside from Hanky's video) one of those ones where you fiddled your taxes or something, it's not the theft that's grand but who you stole from.
