    February 2026 with Jack Adamovic Davies

    Jack Adamovic Davies is the investigative reporter who exposed the Prince Group, a Cambodia-based organized crime gang now indicted for serious allegations in the US, and sanctioned in the US and UK. While on staff at Radio Free Asia, Davies took on a lonely and at times terrifying mission to write about the affairs of this organization, which for nearly five years yielded no result, and in his own words often made him feel like “Jack the Quack”.
