Not Telling
Totally agree with Richard Smith. In a business context people will often refer to you as Khun, but no one, however senior, has ever introduced themselves as Khun XYZ.
It sounds especially ridiculous coming from a foreigner speaking English. "Hello I am Khun Matan krap, how are you krap?"

Your previous post indicated that you did not think there were any victims of drug dealings. If that's not what you meant... well one of us has a problem with written english!

However, if Nisakiman and/or Fantuzi would like to advise me the contact details of Mr Ozdemir's drug dealing victims, I might be more inclined to help them out.
Victims? Somebody put a gun to their head and forced them to take smack or whatever? I smoke. I'm not a victim. I've got nobody to blame but myself.
Well since drug dealing provides the money that supports organised crime, and organised crime is involved with human trafficking, murder, extortion and intimidation etc there are a plethora of indirect victims. More directly, drug users who need to support their habit commit crimes - burglary, shoplifting, carjackings and muggings - which harms businesses, home-owners and citizens on the street, and sometimes results in injury or death.
So although you have no one to blame for the fact that you smoke crack other than yourself, by smoking the pipe you give not-very-nice people money, which they use for not-very-nice things, like buying guns and bribing law enforcement and perhaps importing 14 year old Cambodian girls.
