Brian Gorrell is not getting his money back…

… and it sucks that he’s not going to get justice. The HIV-positive Australian, a former lover of a Manila high-society denizen, has gone online and started a blog to shame - some would say blackmail - said denizen into giving him the US$70,000 that he claims the latter stole from him.

Cathy thinks that Brian’s never getting his money back: if high-society denizen were to pay him back, it would be tantamount to admitting that he stole the money, and since his reputation has already been tarnished - beyond repair? In this country? Don’t bet on it! - and he’s sought legal assistance, the odds are the high-society denizen is not going down without a fight.

Meanwhile, Manila - myself included - continues to keep track of the unfolding saga. Will Brian get his money back? Will more of said high-society denizen’s shrinking circle of friends be mentioned - attacked? ravaged? - in Brian’s blog? It’s gotten so interesting that the Philippine blogosphere didn’t even notice Malu Fernandez is back.

    Methinks, too, that the creep (DJ) will not give Brian’s money back. I would advice Brian to just write a tell-all book about this “Gucci Gang”. I believe that the book will be a bestseller and will earn him much bigger money than what the creep has stolen from him.

    BTW, what do you mean by “Malu Fernandez is back”? Is she again into her bad habit of maligning people?

    She has a new column in the newspaper. She wrote about blogging. I choose not to say anything about it because my ‘holier-than-thou’ Spider-sense is tingling.

    Whilst I welcome any attempt to highlight the small mindedness of ‘high society’ evidence suggests that Brian Gorrell doesn’t fall far from the tree. See my thoughts at
