One of our readers has sent in a recent screenshot of Andrew Drummond responding to one of the fake accounts/comments on his latest article.
The person commenting is someone who is trolling Simon Beech, who is a well-known person in the Thai genre. Andrew knows a lot of these names are trolls, such as someone pretending to be Bryan, someone pretending to be Dan the cameraman, etc. He allows all the troll comments, but if you write a comment to try to correct him on anything, it doesn't get approved. (try it now please)
Facts and corrections from the troll comment below (fake Simon Beech)
Capio is friends with Bryan Flowers, but is not an attack dog; it's someone clearly trying to get Andrew Drummond to harass another individual close to Bryan. (because Andrew's got a reputation for going after friends and family, and he's gullible and easily manipulated)
They do NOT call themselves the crime family; the name was given to a group of people by Steff Traveller, a well-known alcoholic/streamer troll. It has always been a running joke.
Capio is not going to work for Nick Dean as a social media manager. Anyway, why would he do that if it's claimed that he has a pet distribution company?
Facts and Corrections from Andrew's reply
There is no amateurish trolling from Bryan Flowers. Andrew is the one who is using Odysee, Quora, Reddit, Facebook, X and LinkedIn in his smear campaign.
The websites DO affect Andrew Drummond because they are factual and neutral in tone. (most of them) They are not childish and insulting like his content. They have already exposed a lot of his previous lies about his own work.
There are not 50 websites; we have just checked, and there are 11 in total. It takes a minute to check. This is a clear example of how Andrew Drummond lies and exaggerates. This is proof that he is willing to lie and exaggerate about many things, which we have witnessed across multiple articles. You can find the list of websites here https://andrewdrummondlinks.com/
There is no Facebook page trolling Andrew that we can find, (he said multiple FB pages) we found one sharing article links called "Bad Journalists" which is also on x.com. Sharing links to balanced and factual articles is not trolling.
Notice how he can't stop mentioning the other people that he has harassed for many years despite them having nothing to do with the Bryan Flowers campaign.
Andrew needs to learn what the words journalism and trolling are, because he seems to get them mixed up. He trolls people in his smear campaigns, he goes into big Pattaya troll groups and gathers disinformation from fake Facebook accounts, (who dislike people like him) then he wonders why he gets trolled. (if he truly is?) He has gone after Pattaya Addicts Forum (170,000 members), ALL Pattaya Bars - owners and customers (millions of people), calling every male in Pattaya "scum", (200,000 expats) he has lied about people to destroy their reputation, and he is a paid pen. (which other journalists despise) And he is friends with the godfather of pimps from his days of having paid sex in bars, but he likes to throw vulgar words at the people similar to those he associates with and the stuff he did in the past. Not to mention all that, he is defending a crypto scammer who is very clearly lying to him.

Andrew Drummond considers himself a bulldog. People who know Andrew said that he will never retract anything, never correct anything, never admit he was wrong, and he won't be apologising. Even with alleged boiler room guys who were just big businessmen, whom he harassed for years (because one of their ex-partners paid Andrew), he deleted everything with zero apologies. Not one other news outlet agreed to post any of that because he had insufficient evidence.
Andrew has never apologised to the guys that he called boiler room guys; he damaged their reputation and quietly deleted everything. A real journalist does not get personal and biased in this way.
Lack of Journalistic Standards
What this episode ultimately exposes is not "trolling" directed at Andrew Drummond, but a systemic failure of journalistic standards. Selective comment moderation, the quiet approval of obvious fake accounts, and the suppression of factual corrections are not editorial judgment calls, they are content manipulation tactics.
Journalism does not curate narratives by filtering reality; it tests claims, challenges sources, and corrects errors. When dissent is blocked and falsehoods are allowed to stand unchallenged, the outcome is not reporting, it is narrative engineering.
More concerning is that this behaviour does not occur in isolation. The same pattern repeats across platforms: articles reposted to Odysee, fragments amplified on Quora and Reddit, insinuations echoed through Facebook and X, and then cited back to each other as if they were independent interest. This is how smear ecosystems operate, not through evidence, but through repetition, amplification, and strategic omission. When a publisher participates in that loop while claiming the mantle of investigative journalism, credibility is not merely weakened; it is forfeited.
Readers should also note the absence of one defining trait of legitimate journalism: accountability. No transparent corrections. No retractions. No clarifications. No good-faith engagement with factual rebuttals. Even when material is quietly deleted, it is done without acknowledgement or apology. That record speaks for itself. A journalist who refuses to correct demonstrable errors is not standing by the truth, he is avoiding it.
This article exists to document that pattern clearly and on the record. Readers who value factual reporting over manufactured controversy are encouraged to share accurate, sourced material, not insults or counter-trolling. Truth does not require anonymity, sock-puppets, or suppression to survive, it only requires daylight.
