A refresher

I’m not very good at this web design business. Here’s an update, just to make sure the front page has all the relevant information you might need if you’ve met Greg Blake or Evi Czernecki and you’re trying to decide if you should do business with them or associate them.

Perhaps Greg has told you wild stories you about his military record.
Look for it. Australia has online resources for searching military records. His doesn’t exist. The same goes for his PhD, MFA, and most other degrees he says he has. Perhaps he’s confiding in you that he’s working for the Australian embassy in whatever country he’s in. By all means, call them. It is all lies.

If you live in Cambodia and are thinking of doing business with this man, please make inquiries. There are people in the business community who will warn you about this couple. There are people he has already ripped off. There are people in Thailand he has ripped off. People in Laos.

If you are reading this, and you have questions, and you’re not convinced, please contact me. I can direct you to people who will tell you what it is really like to do business with Greg and Evi. It means losing money, and being associated with a man who left his Lao staff to pay his debts — so I hear from sources in Luang Prabang — to pay his debts when he fled after trying to take tens of thousands of dollars from a project to build dormitories for monks.

If you have a year of your life to throw away, or money to invest in a sham company like Teknomadic, the one he half built and abandoned in Luang Prabang, Laos, by all means, listen. If you don’t, just take a bit of a closer look around the internet — at any sites not created by Greg, that is. And please write to me. I can put you in touch with people who will tell you the truth about this couple.

A trail of debt

I’ve been told that Greg’s staff have had to sell all the stuff he and his partner, Evi Czernecki, left when they skipped town in order to pay off his debts. I don’t know if this is true, but it seems entirely possible.

This is truth behind the guy who is probably telling you he’s only here to give back; that his life is one of service. He seems to have left his Lao laborers to try to make good on his broken promises and unpaid bills.

I know, I know.

This probably seems quite shrill. It’s very Say Anything–I keep humming the

song when I start to write here. It probably seems stupid, if you haven’t lost years of your life, or talked to people who have lost more, and really, really wished there had been a way around it.

I don’t care what Greg does, or Evi, or how they live or where or anything else. I’m not interested. But I am interested in doing what I can to prevent this from happening to someone else. So look, if you’ve met this guy, if he’s being kind and charming to you and it seems like exactly what you need because, secretly, you could use a friend, especially one who texts you every day just to tell you that you’re wonderful, who’s helpful exactly when you need it, who is generous and seems to want nothing more than your company, who seems full of the best ideas and just on the brink of success and so excited to have you be part of it–just please, keep your eyes open. Notice that nothing goes right. Notice the ratio of promises kept to those broken. Just notice how time rolls on and nothing happens. He’ll collect deposits. Maybe they’ll build a few crappy versions of whatever they’re selling, slowly, over time…and in a few years, they’ll try to sneak away again.

Just don’t buy into it. History says you’ll end up with nothing. I’m just trying to help here.
