Surprised the Mosque in Paklok wasn't raided, the entire area has become 'extremist'

Since 2008 we've been in a perpetual debasement era via CB BS accumulation, at a 8% clip annually (monetary inflation) and 2/4% clip annually for CPI (variable inflation). The stock market rises optically inline (SP500) with this, Nasdaq outpaces it due to it offsetting the cause (demographics), when ever there's financial issues - namely liquidity constraints either domestic, or in the Eurodollar Markets they introduce new techniques into inject liquidity. What does that mean, sure eventually it will crash (and won't recover in nominal terms) but in real terms real-estate in the US looses 2.7% against the hurdle rate 12% annually (8% + 4%) and thats before taxes, maintenance, etc You are better off investing in EM specifically in the Monsoon Region, diversified of-course but in real terms that will return more without all the hurdles, and without all the taxes.

Bit weird.

That's related to the 2015 'spent' conviction -> he's had nothing since, there's no record about charges laid either and he's been living in Thailand since it was spent.

Real name is Ashton Kevin Saunders (Ben Ashton Kevin Saunders) He had a suspended sentence (2 yrs) and community service, so unsure why Thailand is stating he is a fugitive : https://www.nationaltradingstandards.uk/news/business-grant-scammer-sentenced-for-online-fraud/ As that would be expired (2015) it's 10 yrs gone.

Had drinks in the open bar, about a decade ago in Chalong Yacht Club - he was frequently there, early 20's at the time, never would have even considered he was what he was, he was close with a sailor here Grenville Fordam, he even openly said (i believe both personal/commercial relationship) he was in shock/disbelief, i believe the community even raised the funds to get him back to the UK, completely unaware.

Does anyone know a place in phuket that does this sort of thing without <deleted> the car...
