It seems to be him... some of his "likes" are Korean websites

I made a friend request

He "liked" the book Seven Years in Tibet... now he can write his own book


He will be minted if ever gets released.

That English teacher who smuggled drugs and spent three years in a South Korean jail is still making a living of his experiences.

spent months in South Korea pretending to be an Englishman named "Preston Somerset",


lol

Only an american would think that any english person could bear the name "Preston Somerset".

They're place names. Looks like the guy looked at a map of England and chose the first words he saw.

Its like saying "I'm American! My name is "New York Detroit"!

Matthew Todd Miller, 24, has just started a six year jail term for committing a crime inside the Stalinist state.

The American revealed he spends all day digging in fields inside the nuclear-armed communist state and that he is being kept completely isolated, so that he sees only his captors.

"Prison life is eight hours of work per day. Mostly it's been agriculture, like in the dirt, digging around," Miller said when asked what conditions were like in prison.

"Other than that, it's isolation, no contact with anyone. But I have been in good health, and no sickness or no hurts."

It's going to be a long six years.
