yeah right. what's next, some nonsense about breaks and break lights? https://www.longacreracing.com/products.aspx?itemid=2445&prodid=7212&pagetitle=Toe-Bar

If referring to motoring, it is TOW bar, you know, to TOW the car with. "Toe bar" is also associated with a vehicle's suspension measurement/adjustment.

She's not in custody. She may sacrifice that mil for her freedumb.. All from the link that accompanies the OP... "She is being held at an undisclosed location in Michigan for security reasons after U.S. Marshals brought her back to Michigan, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office said". "A spokesperson for the FBI said that Howson arrived in San Francisco on Feb. 24 and was then taken into federal custody". "Your bond in this case will be $1 million cash, surety, no ten percent." If Howson posts bond [$1m cash], she'll be placed under house arrest and have to wear a GPS monitor. Have there been any substantiated reports that she's come up with $1,000,000 cash to get out?

I don't drive. Vehicle is owned by my Mrs (albeit paid for with my money). Fines were incurred by my stepson. Whoever is legally/morally responsible for payment of these fines it isn't me. By using "we" you included yourself in the "we haven't paid" comment, hence my comment. The person legally responsible for the fines is the driver at the time, if it wasn't the owner, then the owner is legally obligated to inform the police who was driving. If the owner does not do that, the owner is then responsible for the fines.

Flee from custody as she has a $1,000,000 cash bond (effectively no bond)?

No, the article does not state that "she was not extradited". The accompanying video does, however, specifically state that she was. The "knuckleheads" to whom you insultingly refer used the term "extradition" after it was used by the Thai and other authorities and reported as such, as does the news video in your link also. It has also been confirmed here that, initially, there was an extradition request. This is a quote from your link also... "I greatly appreciate the assistance of the Thailand authorities and our federal partners who worked tirelessly to bring this woman back and to hold her accountable," Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. That confirmed co-operation of the FBI and the RTP to get her back to the US also suggests extradition, of sorts, i.e. without that co-operation she may still be in Thailand, "unextradited". So the use of the word "extradition" by posters was not unreasonable and you may want to consider removing the unreasonable "knucklehead" insult from your gloating OP.

"We haven't paid them". Why not? Do you have special exemption from fines and laws?

So what? Isn't this about Thailand?

It is a violation of the law, but not a crime. Based on the legal structure of which jurisdiction?

"Thailand in it's childishness" Providing your financial transactions with security is "childishness"? Gawd...

Yes, but I preferred running my own broker businesses and they are all connected.

Is that the message you get when you try and set up a new account here in Thailand with a Thai ip address? Yes.

"Not available in this area", (Thailand). Not available to open an account or they don't have any corresponding banks in Thailand? Edited 3 hours ago by NanLaew Revolut is not available in Thailand.

.

And that's how they do it . I'm surprised that anyone would support their corporate tax avoidance schemes. So you think that Starbucks Thailand's paying billions of baht in tax every year is their way of avoiding paying tax?

Which one?

No, but I do have a background in banking, pensions and insurance, though. I'm glad that I'm not unappreciated.

You mean your Wise account in Thailand or your Thai bank account? UK state pensions can be paid into Thai bank accounts.

Presumably because they are not banks and the pension fund requires that pensions are paid into bank accounts. If pensioners change their own circumstances so they are unable to receive their pension payments as they have been doing, that's not the pension fund's problem to sort out.

That account is only available to existing private banking clients.

Usually to a nominated, acceptable bank account. If the recipient changes that, after the fact, without having a new bank, I guess it's his problem to sort out. If the pension cannot be paid out the unpaid amounts will accrue in his pension fund until he complies.

They're, obviously, not stealing his pension and it is not his choice how his pension provider or pension provider's bankers pay his pension if he alters his circumstances to not complying with their conditions that he originally met.

Your non-UK resident status should have no effect on a Barclays, Isle of Man, off-shore bank account.

More than likely a nil, or negligible, dormant balance if he's not used the account for "many years"

"...I have a UK bank account but no UK address". Don't tempt fate, that could change at any time the bank chooses!
