Is this a person or a group?

Not sure if it is a person or a group. I would like to add more, but it is a news story that I am investigating, based on a long standing group of fraudsters. I've uncovered that username and am looking for ideas on how to carry on digging.

Internet fraudsters, mail, street, etc? I guess you could contact the Thailand police. That may be a good starting point. Or find someone who speaks Thai that could help you out by googling it in Thai.

I apologise for not explaining, but this is a current news story and I think I've got something that other journalists haven't, so I can't give much away.

You might have better luck posting somewhere like Slashdot where users may know more about these things. I'd suggest 4chan as well, but they would probably kill any chance of a scoop you might have (for the lulz).

Does it include someone with an international security rating equal to the top six people in the world?

scroll down and click the linkage, the web spreads all over SE Asia.

Metafilter isn't nerdy enough for this question. I'd try HN if I didn't have better investigation skills. From the way you've phrased this, though, you may not have the entree needed in order to write this story.

Ah, current news story - that explains it. Google News explains all then. I believe Illusion is a 900 lb manatee.
