- Judd on the Andaman Sea one year before he was buried here.
On September 15th, 2005, Rex Judd, a businessman, from upstate New York boarded a plane at JFK. His wife Lori Judd dropped him, pecking him lightly as he jumped out of the car, curbside. She thought he would be back in two weeks. It would be the last time she would see Rex alive or dead.
Chernov woke up early on a September morning, two week prior, to send the wire for the rental of the sailboat from Western Union in Walmart, just off route 15 in Lehi, Utah to Adam Grimshaw in Pattaya.
As Rex flew across the Pacific, hitting small turbulence, two Australians, Mark Winters and Adam Wilson Grimshaw, prepared the chains and batteries for his arrival in Pattaya, Thailand.
When he arrived, after a few drinks spiked with Xanax or as the murderers called it, lobster blood, they loaded Rex into a flatbed small truck for the short ride to his hotel. The hotel staff reported he never checked-in that night. In the early morning hours, in the shipping lanes of the Andaman Sea, with his teeth knocked out with a large wrench and his body tied with chains to old car batteries, Rex slowly drifted to the bottom of the Andaman Sea.
- Chernov Judd, one year before Judd was murdered.
Chernov, a Russian immigrant in Salt Lake City, Utah, arranged one more time, for the Australians to book a sailboat in March, 2006 as he prepared to head back to Thailand. This time his victim would be me.
I arrived with my wife, my elder son and our one year old son, in Phuket, Thailand for a family vacation. On a trip to Phuket three months earlier, we discovered, they stalked and targeted my wife, Lisa and I, for torture and death at the hands of the same two Australian assassins. Our fate had been sealed until Michael Combs, a.k.a. Paul Combs, from Davie, Florida, who they hired to assist, realized my cousin, Steve Dewhurst was one of his golfing buddies from Florida. A delay in their plan for three months, was caused as Paul refused to partake and left Thailand. We traveled to Moscow with them, returning in March for another visit to Thailand.
On a sailboat, in Phuket Marina, the afternoon of March 29th, Chernov ordered them to taser me as I was to be kidnapped and murdered and

placed in the same grave as Rex Judd. In the most extraordinary circumstances, aided by some incredible luck, I escaped.
Buddha says, "There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting."
After escaping from Thailand, with the aid of the British Embassy providing a police convoy to the airport, we arrived in Hong Kong in early April, 2006. I immediately, started an investigation to seek justice against these criminals. I could not grasp where it would eventually lead.
In the course of the investigation it was discovered that Michael Woods, the hired assassin that left, was actually Paul Combs out of Davie, Florida.
- Agent U.S. State Department (CIA?)
Upon contacting the British Embassy an American Agent, Andrew Loftus, from the American Embassy in Thailand called and informed me, Rex Judd, our friend, who disappeared in September, 2005, was dead. I was shocked and realized how fortunate I was to have escaped.
It was now time to dig deeper, so I spent the next few months investigating the background of the Russians and others that participated in the murder of Rex Judd and attempted murder of me. It was discovered, they were based in Salt Lake City but their main source of funding and protection came from Moscow. They infiltrated American society to extract as much money and information as possible.
The FBI assigned Special Agent Gregory Coleman, of Wolf of Wall Street fame, to the case in early May, 2005. He began his investigation but required, in his words, a witness, physical evidence and the names of the murderers. I continued to investigate with these new requirements in mind.
- Patrick Denham a.k.a. SA Gregory A. Coleman Wolf of Wall Street
The break came when I got a call from a Scott Vanderweel, an American friend of Rex Judd, and a financial victim of Chernov and his gang. He informed me he was golfing with Paul Combs and Combs wanted to speak to me.
The next day, I got a call from Combs and he informed me, he was present in Phuket when Chernov gave the order to murder Rex Judd. Further, he flew out of Phuket to Singapore with Chernov to provide an alibi, while Rex Judd was murdered. They returned one day after Judd's murder and Combs obtained all his possession, including his wedding ring, cufflinks and credit cards. The cards were shredded and spread in the garden in Phuket, however he still had the cufflinks and wedding band belonging to Judd. Paul Combs explained to me, at this point in time, why he posed as Michael Woods, after being hired by Chernov to extort and murder me. As a matter of fact, he had seen my cousin at J.C. Penny earlier that week, and was sorry he participated. Further, he told how the aim of Chernov was to get my computer and access to my Swiss and Bermudian bank accounts after I was dead.
I was extremely confident, now I could provide a witness, the murderers and physical evidence that Special Agent Gregory Coleman of Wolf of Wall Street fame, had said he needed to prosecute and convict Chernov of murder. It was clear, Combs, felt he owed me after being hired to assist in my murder.
In the end, I talked Paul Combs in to providing the information above to the FBI. He also give a lengthy statement to Coleman and other agents in New York. There was a bonus, Combs had the fraudulent passports and ID for Chernov and the rest of the gang. This was an added criminal offense, providing false passports and/or traveling on one. FBI Agent Coleman now assured me, he would prosecute and convict Egor Chernov of the crimes committed.
The subpoena came for me to testify before the longest sitting grand jury in Utah history in June, 2007. After a long wait, we were content justice would now be served. The U.S. Attorney was extremely nervous of any media attention to the case. Finally we were assured Egor Chernov would face a judge and jury and we would be entitled to give a victim impact statement, in the event he plead guilty.
On arriving in Salt Lake City, I read the affidavit provided by Special Agent, Coleman, it stated clearly, "the fraudulent passports are inextricably intertwined with the murder of Rex Judd." The only surprise became, they arrested their key witness, Paul Combs, whom they promised immunity, when I recruited him. I was stunned.
At this point in time, Dateline NBC and some other news organizations started talking to me about appearing for a one hour special. After one year's wait, in June, 2008, we met in New York City with Dateline NBC, Chernov had still not been indicted, although I was promised by the FBI and Justice Department, it was only a matter of time.
When I met with Justin Balding, the senior executive producer at NBC, he informed me his superior, Steve Capus, President of NBC News, would not allow them to report any part of this story. We met at the deli across from NBC headquarters and he simply grabbed a sandwich and nervously shook my hand as he left. I experienced an empty feeling in my stomach as I realized we had come all this way for nothing. I could not comprehend what would scare a major news network from reporting the truth.
Next I met with the FBI, at their Manhattan Headquarters, Coleman informed me that the incompetency of the Justice Department prevented him from charging Chernov. They insisted they had a new U.S. Attorney out of New York who would do so. I was told, Chernov had provided them with a lot of sensitive information and if the Russians realized his life would be in danger. I sense an urgency in Coleman's voice and demeanor, it became clear, he was not sure Chernov would ever be prosecuted. Coleman blamed the incompetent Justice Department.
- U.S. Attorney Jennifer Shasky Calvery
We continued to wait for years, we got calls every few months from the FBI and Justice Department promising us charges were forthcoming. Nothing ever happened, and the promises were used to placate us. All the files in the case were sealed in early 2010, as a matter of national security. Egor Chernov took the unusual step of applying for a Presidential pardon in 2010, for a great service he had provided to America. In late 2010, Anna Chapman and nine other Russian spies, who we were told by the Justice Department, were the tip of the iceberg, were arrested. They were lured with the same type of fraudulent passports Egor Chernov produced.
Paul Combs was released from jail, against the strong protests of the U.S. Attorney in January, 2010. He returned to Florida after two and half years in jail. He called me and promised he had all the information to blow the case wide open and expose the corrupt FBI agents and Russian spies. One more time and one last chance, I felt justice was at hand. We were to meet in July, 2010.
- Paul Combs posing as Michael Woods
On June 7th, 2010, I got a call from FBI Special Agent, Gregory Coleman. He spoke to me at length of how the case was proceeding and new information from Thailand and Russia was coming in, now that the incompetent U.S. Attorney had been replaced. One more time, he convinced me, that Paul Combs was free, so we could proceed and get justice.
One hour after I hung up, I got a call from a reporter in Canada, as most U.S. reporters would not investigate or report the murder of Rex Judd or conviction of Egor Chernov. It was one of the best kept secrets in U.S. legal history. The reporter from Canada, Ethan Barron, informed me, Paul Combs was dead.
My fingers could not dial fast enough to get, SA Greg Coleman back on the phone. He picked up and denied Paul was dead or in the least he had not been informed. However two hours later, he called back and informed me, he had just been informed, Paul Combs was dead of suicide. It was a gunshot wound to the head.
Now I was afraid for me and my family, Rex Judd was dead and no charges laid against a Russian murderer, now his chief accuser was dead from suicide. Strangely when we spoke he was upbeat and intent on exposing Chernov as a spy and the Justice Department for corruption. Now a convicted felon, had a gun registered in his own name, was drunk and adjudicated by the medical examiner, in record time to have committed suicide.
One more time I contacted all the media, and one or two regional outlets, such as Gary Craig in Rochester, Pamela Manson in Salt Lake City and one small paper in Florida, reported the death. Not one news outlet, performed any investigation, or asked one question. Dateline NBC stated if I could prove, it was not a suicide, they may then be able to receive permission to report the truth. As a matter of fact, I had done the entire investigation to date, by myself, with no powers of interrogation, no funding and no resources, to continue was impossible. NBC with its huge resources and mandate to report the truth to the American public, took no action.
June 11, 2011, Egor Chernov flew out of America to Moscow. He did not have to go through the normal deportation center, as other foreign criminals are subjected. Egor M. Chernov had got away with murder and U.S. Attorney, Jennifer Shasky Calvery, U.S. Attorney, Gregory Lisa and Special Agent Gregory Coleman knew this fact.
A black victim is shot down in the line of duty by a white police officer and the press spend hundreds of hours investigating and reporting. A white suburban man kills his wife and the American press spends hundreds of hours and resources investigating and reporting. An innocent American businessman, is murdered and buried in the Andaman Sea and not one news outlet or any investigative arm of the American government lifts one finger to investigate or report it.
- Speaking about the Wolf of Wall Street afraid to mention Chernov
FBI Special Agent Gregory A. Coleman, retired the end of January, 2015. He wrote his sympathies that incompetent agents prevented him from indicting Egor Chernov, in an email. However he was now poised to make his living speaking to the media and conferences around the globe about an inconsequential, hustler from Queens, New York. He will not speak to or answer any questions relating to the murder of an American.
