These is merely nonsense no hard proof has been shown.

Jesse,
I'm going to say this in my softest, most sincere tone of writing. That is an accusation with absolutely no proof or hard evidence to back it up

but when it was revealed that Sam and his crew of Americans in Holland all were part of informants for the DEA in America on a radio program in Holland they split to the UK to do other things. Sam never started or owned a seed company so his claim to all the strains that became famous years ago are not really warranted.

Its in Dutch and the various free online translation services on the web ain't doing the best job but bottomline is that in this news article Sam was revealed to be a DEA informant that fought his competitors by indicating them to justice in order to get his license/permit to grow. In the news article its also suggested that Sam was released/left by DEA in Holland so that many years after he would 'play on' 'Skunk'breeders' names.It is also mentioned there that Sam had a police record.

Play on skunk breeders names? WTF? Is this perhaps a really piss poor translation of "breeding on skunk lines"? Only thing I can figure.
No , all online translations seem to 'say' what I wrote , "play on 'Skunk'breeders' names". I speak German myself and Dutch are quite similar and it clearly seems to me that these are all correct translation. Afterall I used a lot of different free online translation services to double check on that and all gave the same kind of results.Plus what is stated in the reports seems just like what Shanti wrote about Sam, that Sam's "claim to all the strains that became famous many years ago is not really warranted".
I Remember When The Prince Of Pot ( Self Declared ) Decided To Go For The Jugular Of A Former Employee Of His , Peter Bradey As Being A DEA Informant ( Jamaican Grow Articles ), Shattering His " Real Life ", Whilst Hiding Away In Cyberworld , Or The Web
People Love To Shift Blame And Accuse Under Assumptions With Absolutely No Forethought To The Potential Damage They May Be Uneccesarily Causing .
I Don't Think All This Cloak And Dagger , Holier Than Though , Thinning of The Weeds Need Be A Concern To The Run Of The Mill Grower Whose Only Goal Is To Reduce The Stigma Already Conjured Up By Those In Authority of The Cannabis Scene .

Jesse, I am surprised you managed to write an article about Haze without delving into the dirty side of what went down with Sam and Neville, I spent months researching my Haze article and found all this info at the time, I made a post at another site about the Dutch radio reports and ow Hortapharm obtaiend their licence and as a result received a rather unpleasant message from Sam, he was very pissed off that I had 'outed' him by posting the name he uses and expaining his links with Hortapharm and GW Pharmaceuticals. I haven't yet been able to finish my Haze article to the point i feel it covers both sides of the story - the side promulgated by Sam and Rob Clarke is easy to find and I've covered that in detail, finding out the other side of the story is very much harder though and until I do, my Haze story article won't be fully complete.
Joe Pietri's article in TY is interesting but not well written, Joe comes across as angry and bitter and doesn't support his claims with hard facts, it's interesting and controversial and worth reading however.
l33t is on the right track here, by doing serious research and finding hard and fast facts, I am currently looking into what happened in Holland from 1985 onwards, there is some Dutch language writings on the subject that contain some very interesting and revealing info, and unlike the stuff coming from Jerry Biesler and Joe Pietri, it's proper academic writing with all the points fully backed up by proper research.
I'll post the results of my investigations and research eventually, but not until I have it all fully verified and a complete bibliography.
One last thing, if the article Marco Renda published in TY by Joe Pietri is slanderous, Sam would not hesitate to sue, I discussed this with Marco and he told me he welcomes legal action but expects none will be forthcoming as Joe spoke the truth.
im most interested in this thread for many reasons
it was quite upsetting too see it gone from IC
