I want to share a situation that has been unfolding for a little while now, I was going to keep it private but perhaps my experience may help others that are or have been exposed to online bullying.

 
Nothing hurts a nefarious and vile bully more than the actual TRUTH..

It all began a few years back when I was contacted and engaged to do work by this gentleman, Sorin Misha Pigulea from Romania 

 
(remember this face, this is Mr. Sorin Misha Pigulea)

 
My engagement contract was to obtain capital for a business opportunity he wanted to pursue. I charge for my time as any professional does and jointly agreed on a fee. Contract was signed, fee paid and we were off and running.

Long story short, Mr. Pigulea’s business proposal was not sound and had many holes in his offer, for these reasons and a few others, funding was not forthcoming after many weeks of meetings with Investors. 

Before I could suggest possible solutions to remedy his predicament I was met with vicious threats of defamation, personal injury and damaging content, all to be blazoned across the internet for all to see if I did not immediately return/refund his engagement fee, that he paid me for services that were fully rendered. You see, Mr. Pigulea regards himself as a self-proclaimed techno whiz and the threatening comments were supposed to strike fear in me. There was no fear, I hadn’t done anything wrong.

Mr. Pigulea went on to create more than one defamatory website dedicated to destroying my name, my reputation, my family, my businesses and future opportunities. It’s not fair or reasonable that innocent people get hurt, especially my family and friends, they had nothing to do with this man. Most people not all, unfortunately believe the stuff that gets posted online especially if it’s made to sound plausible.

To counteract the effect this was having on my association with clients and businesspeople in general, I decided to capitulate and forward my engagement fee back to Mr. Pigulea in full. I contacted a good friend of mine to act on my behalf. He contacted Mr. Pigulea and introduced himself and explained the reason for the contact. After a lengthy email exchange an agreement was struck between Mr. Pigulea and me, that we both agreed to on email. It was also reported that Mr. Pigulea during negotiations was rude, unprofessional and delicate.

A payment arrangement formed part of the agreement as we were right in the middle of covid 19 and work was slow, to say the least. Mr. Pigulea was repaid (I thought at the time this was the right way to go, how wrong I was) and upon payment closed down his defamatory web sites about me.

Or so I thought, fast forward to now. For some unexplainable reason Mr. Pigulea has recreated the defamatory websites and reposted all the content he agreed to remove years ago. Now he has included fabricated content about my family and friends and its nothing but lies. Importantly, Its also worth noting that Mr. Pigulea does not back up his content by publishing his name or photograph further evidencing that he is a coward, and his content is all fabricated. He got what he wanted and yet feels the need to extract more. I can only conclude that this is how his warped mind gets its kicks.

Since going public with this story, I’ve been met with nothing but support from individuals who have been through the whole online bullying scenario. Patience and persistence are key. 

There will be more home Truths of Mr. Pigulea and others to come.

If you find yourself in a position like this just reach out and ask for help, hopefully I or others that have been unfortunate enough to endure these online cowards can point you in the right direction.

Furthermore personally, I’ve never been arrested, had a DUI or had any convictions. I’ve also served in the Australian army. Left the service after being shot more than once, after serving my country in Afghanistan.

It’s easy for these malicious individuals to sit behind a keyboard and throw around hurtful, defamatory comments without any real consequences, or so they think. Social media has created a space where some people believe they can hide behind anonymity and spew venom without accountability. But let’s be clear: your words have power. When you choose to spread negativity or attack others online, it doesn’t make you clever or strong—it just makes you a coward. Hiding behind a screen to tear down others might give you a momentary sense of superiority, but in the end, it only exposes your own lack of empathy and insecurity.

So, to the trolls who think their baseless comments don’t matter—guess what? They do. You might think you're just stirring the pot for some cheap entertainment, but in reality, you’re contributing to a toxic environment where respect and understanding are in short supply. It’s time to call out this kind of behaviour and stand up for a culture of kindness and responsibility. Behind every screen is a real person with real feelings, and no amount of keyboard bravado will change that. Your time is better spent lifting others up, not tearing them down.

The law is on your side, Australia has some of the worlds toughest cyber-bulling laws in the world. Cowards dislike being called out from a legal perspective because the risk of conviction or imprisonment is quite high.
