Conman Greg Burnard arrested sleeping on streets, to be deported
Well known UK conman Greg Burnard was arrested sleeping rough last night, and will be deported back to the UK in the next few days.
For those who don't know about Burnard, he has been a regular feature on Cambodia Scammers page:
My name is Charlie and I owned a bar on the riverside in Phnom Penh Cambodia named the Thunderbird.
Greg started coming in the bar some time around September 2014. He was pretty mellow, drank his beer and we had some nice conversations. As you can see by the pictures he wasn't the snappiest dresser but he wasn't a dirty slob either. We had some good laughs speaking of chacing girls and past drinking adventures.
He started coming in everyday and befriending some of the regulars at the bar. After a couple of weeks he came in with a young man named Lance. Lance and Greg lived in the same building and began coming in together.
Hard to admit this but we started to become pretty decent buddy/acquaintances and drinking more and more together. There was about a 2 month period we were drinking a bottle of Jameson's every night. Greg was acting like a big high roller, buying everyone drinks, and being apparently very generous, usually spending $70 - $100+ every night (I certainly didn't mind that).

These con men guys are wild. I sort of admire how much they can brazenly deceive people. When's the next Charles Sobhraj going to spring up?

Sleeping on the street in Cambodia seems to be one of the few ways to get yourself deported.
Follow my lame Twitter feed: @gavin_mac
That's a pretty good read. This guy's in the same league as GMB the it comes to deceiving people, but nowhere as successful and strictly short term apparently .

Exactly; not unlike remoras attaching themselves to a sharks laughing gear, these opportunistic suck-balls feed on the 'circus music' of the world's Walter Mittys.ricecakes wrote:Some people are just plain fucking stupid

Does anyone recognised any of the expats in the photos?
My posts are just jokes, maybe they're rude, offensive, and politically incorrect. They're not my opinion, viewpoint, idea, or judgement, but they're just fucking jokes so lighten up.

I did run into that guy (he called himself Jack) in the Health Club "Good Times" in TK. He was there basically every day from 8am-3pm (I myself go there about 3 times a week to enjoy the gym and the swimming pool in the morning). He talked big as a rich expatriate living in Shanghai, in the process of moving to Phnom Penh, where he has hired already around 60 people for his business. Presently building a "Bali style" villa for himself in Phnom Penh. Just imported 10 luxery cars from England for about 1,2 million dollars for his business operations etc. etc. etc. The way he looked and talked I did not believe a word, but let him talk for a while walking away any time I wanted to. One morning (must have been mid-September he said that he was robbed the night before, lost all money, all credit-cards etc. A bit short of cash and if I could help him out with $ 500 for 1 day or 2. I told him very nicely that I used to be a banker, but I am not a bank. That was the end of the story. I have not seen him since around early October. Now we all know why!!!
