    These are 2020 leaked pictures and should have never been posted. The ones I posted here are from 2001.

    After reading the thread some more I noticed that chilidog/eric had another stint on Fchat as black label, from Aug 20, 2007 to Aug 17, 2018.

    I guess he didn't get spooked at all he just forgot his password or something. He was even encouraged by Citronella, who decided to post some pics.

    Reminds me of Beyoncé who wanted her publicist to remove an unflattering picture of her from the web.

    "But much of the BIA's money went to Prince Jefri. According to court documents, the prince spent $475 million on Rolls Royce cars, $78 million at Italian sports-car company Pininfarina SpA." from Sultan of Brunei's brother | FerrariChat

    To be honest I find the debauchery more fascinating than the actual cars.

    If you worked for Amedeo Development corp you signed a confidentiality agreement. You were not allowed to take photos or not allow to talk to anyone about what you were doing for the Brunei Royal family.

    I worked for Amedeo in Brunei the late 90s and was lucky enough to see many of these cars entering and leaving RBPC 5 garages. But I didn't take any photos because you weren't allowed to.

    Correct. I regularly talk to a guy who is childhood friends with the person who manages the collection. They are not happy with those being leaked.

    The Brunei 'royals' are about as immoral as they come so they can cry me a river. Jefri might have taken things to the extreme, but he was obviously scapegoated for the rest of them to save face. If business people involved are worried about their paycheck I understand their concern about leaks, but afaic from a moral perspective the BRF has no interests that deserve protection. Discretion is all too often a prerequisite for excess, misdeeds and unaccountability. Rant over.

    And this is exactly why the BRF doesn’t want this stuff leaked. A bunch of nonsense rambling and ranting from people who never stepped foot in Brunei or would even know Brunei existed if it wasn’t for this collection. The people who get all their information about Brunei from the tabloids.

    Pardon me, sir, they are all saints who are misunderstood! :rolleyes: Only the secret guardians of the collection photos are informed enough to properly assess any matters regarding the BRF. Their task as car historians is of utter importance and therefore has to be hush hush. o_O

    You unironically don’t see that people, such as yourself aren’t even making it just about the cars.

    I literally just posted why.
    But just so I understand where you are coming from, why are you so obsessed with the cars?
    What exactly did you find so incredible? That a bunch of companies built a bunch of cars? Or that a bunch of people with more money than sense bought and parked them? Or something else entirely?

    If it's about the cars for you, why are you concerned about how the BRF feels about these leaks? You are worried you won't get to see them anymore? There aren't enough other cars in the world to obsess over? The cars aren't all that special as plenty of people have remarked.

    No disrespect but this sounds like Knights Templar cosplay by some adolescent carspotters.

    Completely agree. People seem more concerned with being in the secret club than actually sharing information and photos. Again, I can see why for people who financially depend on the BRF discretion is key, but I doubt they are the ones scolding people for posting photos.

    You know they are just cars, right? Nobody on Fchat likes seeing a nice car go to waste, but to defend a bunch of dictators just so you can have a peek at their loot is very dubious.

    It is absolutely unbelievable how accurate the information provided by basman007 was almost 18 years ago.
