In October 2012, I obtained news from a contact at the Royal Bank of Canada as follows:
I hear today (10th October 2012) that Michael and Linda Peters are still at large, living rent-free in some luxury in South West France (and refusing to move out), instead of living rent free in gaol. So if you want to book a holiday on a gulet in the Mediterranean, make sure (i) you book with a reputable and registered firm, e.g. ATOL registered, and (ii) pay for everything by credit card (don't pay by debit card because only credit cards seem to be insured against fraud).
Today, 18th January 2015, I am advised that Mr Peters has filed a legal complaint to Google and that Google has taken down the blogpost. According to chillingeffects.org, Mr Peter's complaint was as follows:
The entire article is incorrect and defamatory. The removal company had been paid as can be proven from my bank records. This is now a very old post and has no wide public interest. please therefore remove if from your search engine results The statements about being"at large" and "living in style in France" are also inaccurate since it implies that we are convicts on the run - which is untrue; my wife and I are resident in the UK and have been so for the past 4 years. The entire site contains nothing but vitriolic falsehoods that are un-proven and defamatory. It is time this rubbish was expunged from your search results.
