I don't think it's totally unreasonable for the original subscriber, aware that the CD stopped publishing on September 4, to see the September 18 six month renewal and conclude "This must be fraudulent because surely the CD would have stopped auto-renewing everyone's subscriptions when it stopped publishing."CDNext wrote: Occam's razor says original subscriber has it on autorenew and forgot. It happens. Cleanup will be a minor irritation--reversing a transaction--but nothing more.
Are you still auto-renewing everyone's subscriptions forever unless they cancel under the theory that "Well, maybe they want access to the back issues"?

And an additional question may be, how many subscribers are there that will be affected by this?gavinmac wrote:I don't think it's totally unreasonable for the original subscriber, aware that the CD stopped publishing on September 4, to see the September 18 six month renewal and conclude "This must be fraudulent because surely the CD would have stopped auto-renewing everyone's subscriptions when it stopped publishing."CDNext wrote: Occam's razor says original subscriber has it on autorenew and forgot.

Does some Jonny at the Min of Information or whatever it's called have a subscription? That'd be a laugh.

Some forum questions are answered in this article by Julia Wallace. Actually found this article to be a decent read. A bit different to most others.
According to this, tax wasn't paid. Nor was the Daily a registered business or an NGO.

The Daily never addressed the tax questions either, they just tried to sidestep them and divert attention by bringing up irrelevant matters. They could have resolved this if they'd dealt with it differently.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
That's a really good piece by Julia. This is an interesting description of Bernie, especially in the light of all self-promoted goodwill:
BlessHe hired and fired at will, ordered a reporter to break up with his girlfriend, and docked people’s pay for obscure infractions like accidentally sitting in a chair reserved for one of his favorites, who rarely showed up to work. When the local reporters attempted to form a union, he easily broke their resolve by importing new Cambodians from another project he ran.

So the CD staff proposed a union to the boss, please tell me they wanted to call it the "Cambodian Union News Team".
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 have an update by the gentleman whose credit card was charged (on Monday):
"It appears that the USD50 has been deducted from my visa card. So whoever that is has just stolen the money. My bank back home failed to prevent it leaving the account despite the payment being 'pending'. They've suggested I now need to cancel the card, and they will courier me a new one.
If anybody has the email for Deborah Krisher-Steele, the former editor, I'd like to contact her and ask what she thinks is going on, or any other former senior staffer at the Daily. I'm not saying they're to blame but there's something not right here obviously."

Leeway denied. Books could be written about men like Ross Dunkley. What happened separately doesn't excuse Bernie being an asshole.Playboy wrote:Meanwhile, over at the Phnom Penh Post during the same era, Oknha Coupon was rewarding his staff...

They already said what's going on. He signed up for auto renew. Does his bank statement say that the $50 was deducted and paid to the Cambodia Daily? If so, that's a pretty good idea that a third party didn't steal his banking details.Miguelito wrote: "It appears that the USD50 has been deducted from my visa card.

I guess plenty of nOObs in country do not know who was referred to as Oknha Coupon during that time too.
Plus, not excusing Bernie in anyway.
