Description

Chris Thrall was born in Bromley. At 18, he joined the Royal Marine Commandos. Following active service in the Northern Ireland Conflict and training in Arctic warfare and survival, he earned his parachutist's 'wings' and went on to serve as part of a high-security detachment onboard an aircraft carrier. In 1995, Chris moved to Hong Kong to oversee the expansion of a successful network-marketing operation he'd built part-time while serving in the Forces. Less than a year later, he was homeless, hooked on crystal methamphetamine and working for the triads.
