"From Brazil to Thailand, if you have any money I'd LOVE to steal it from you!"Michael Earle, Marketing Director of Layan Hills Estate.
We had an interesting encounter with an old colleague last week. Naturally the conversation turned to what a liar, theif and cheat our little Binky is, when this person - who was party to quite a lot of information at Diseño Earle - mentioned to us that Villa La Jara, Binky's pseudo-contemporary monstrosity of a villa (the only piece of work everr actually undertaken by Binky and, it has to be said, finished to abismally low standards) was....wait for it...also a project ripped off from investors from the United States.
They never got their investment back, you won't be surprised to hear.
Through analytics we see lots of information about the visitors to our site. We're pleased to say that we regularly get visits from many countries throughout the world and, particularly pleasingly, mainly from territories where we know Binky has either worked or has tried to work.
In light of this latest revelation, we thought it would be interesting to see if there are any other stories about Binky stealing money from people, so we'd like to hear from our regular visitors.
Calling all people who have had an unfortunate dealing with Binky (let's face it, that basically means everybody), but especially calling our unknown friends from:
Boston
Allston
Concord
Brookline
Avon
Barnstable
Hyderabad
Tivoli
Alborg
Berlin
Bangkok
London
Cambridge
(this reads like a list of Binky crime scenes!)
Please, contact us with any stories or information regarding this despicable little conman. We see that you are regular readers of the blog, so perhaps start telling us what you know or what you think? It'll certainly help and at the very least will make for some interesting reading!

We promise not to publish anything at all without your express permission and unlike Binky we are honest people who keep their promises.
And feel free to send us messages of support for Binky / condemnation for us, although somehow we boubt there'll be many of the former.
We've had a coupole of interesting responses already. Thank you to those individuals and we look forward to receiving many, many more!

I guess a good one to ask would be David LLoyd. Remember "that" meeting in early 2009 between LLoyd's representatives and Binky?
ReplyDeleteA few heated words (all from Lloyd's side) and Binky came out physically shaking and had to hide behind Jon Ellis - all 5 foot 7 of him!
Mind you, given how Binky had to always send his orangutan Nestor outside to make sure the coast was clear before he could ever leave the building and it's hardly surprising!
A liar, a theif, a cheat and a coward. What a role model for little International Architects!
By the way - have you seen www.layanestate.com? Looks like Binky to me...low quality, badly written and awash with the word "contemporary". If Binky really was contemporary he'd behave like an honest businessman...it's all the rage these days.
hahaha - yes, we remember that meeting very well Bubba. Michael getting hauled over the coals for stealing - I mean getting robbed - Mr Lloyd's money.
ReplyDeleteSeeing a 6.5 foot fully grown man with size 90 clown boots on trembling like a kitten was a sight for sore eyes!
But it seems Lloyd is not working anymore with Michael Earle.. Is what they say...
