Ian Puddick

“Do you know who you are f***ing with? Our pockets go very deep. We are going to f*** you like you have never been f*c**d before.”

– Benedict Hamilton MD of Kroll UK

IAN PUDDICK, KROLL AND THE CITY OF LONDON POLICE

The story of Ian Puddick a modest British citizen and plumber, in his own words, is “truly unbelievable”. The story not so much shows Kroll as a company who can make mistakes but as an organisation that can be downright underhand and nasty.

Briefly Puddick discovered that his wife was having an affair with her boss Timothy Haynes a managing director of the company Guy Carpenter, a leading global reinsurance giant. Guy Carpenter are a wholly owned subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan, who at the time owned Kroll Inc.

Puddick was naturally upset by his wife’s eight year infidelity, and started a web-based campaign (twitter and youtube) to tell the world. This was construed as harassment by Haynes and he contacted West Sussex Police to have Puddick stopped. West Sussex Police said the matter was purely civil, so he then contacted Kroll in London, one of the group companies. Ian Puddick was then contacted by the managing director of Kroll, a Mr Benedict Hamilton who, despite a City of Westminster School and Oxford University education and many years in TV journalism could only manage the following telephone threat:
“Do you know who you are f***ing with? Our pockets go very deep. We are going to f*** you like you have never been f*c**d before.”

Following the threat Kroll contacted The City of London Police with whom they have strong ties and “Operation Bohan” was launched at a cost of £1m. The operation was solely to harass and gag Ian Puddick, a simple plumber.
