Property Management Boss with Chequered Past

Post by HH Jean »

Hello, maybe somone can help.

We looking for company to manage small property in Hua Hin.

Somone told me of a french man who own management company in Hua Hin. His name Jean Conrad.

When I saw the person I think I know him. Then remember. In France we have illegal match fixing scandal and this person is accused of match fixing. I remember his photo from newspaper.

Here story in english:

I do not know the guy and I have never used his company, but I do know that this company has been operating for some time already.

Yes, it has been operating for some time, but not with what now appears to be a new owner?

This company has been running for over 14 years. He has been the owner for over a year. The company is probably the most reliable in town. I used them when I had a house here and although we had small problems with them I would still recommend them. I am unable to open the link so haven't read the article so don't know if this is the same guy.

Yes, good idea. The OP is not asking about anyone's opinion of the person mentioned, BUT about the company known as Room x Room.

Done that and can find 'accusations' and 'allegations' but no mention of the guy being convicted.

Nereus, I realise that this is a question about the company and not an opinion about the person. However, the OP pointed out the accusations against this guy and Rcer asked if he was accused or convicted. I was interested to know where the 'conviction' was mentioned. Rcer asked "Exactly. So why is he convicted here?" and unless I'm becoming word blind I see no reference to this.

Oh for God's sake, the OP wrote:

My advice to the OP is this. If you are satisfied it is the same guy and if you are confident a trial will take place in France this year as you state and if he returns to stand trial. then ask yourself - or him - who will be running the company in his absence and how will that effect you?

And also what happens if he is convicted?

Then decide if it's a risk worth taking?

Simple.

Thank you everyone for inputs and updates.

Alright, the company clearly is not to be trusted. Did asking around and heard some strange stories about staff being kicked out, staff taking revenge and the company losing business.

Trial of the french gentleman is early June according to French news reports.

Anyway, sorry for bothering with the original question, should have made more inquires beforehand. From what I hear this company won't survive this year.
