I'd say that protecting the bank's reputation and business would prevent the circumstances that you speculated!

No, it doesn't look that way, yet.

That applies if a bank goes bankrupt and is unable to pay its depositors, not to employee thefts.

The bank has not said anything final yet, they and the police have stated that there will be an answer by 5th January so no caveats, Thai or otherwise.

Lawyer!

There was at least one Briton caught up in this so the chances are that English is his native language. That could be debatable, of course, if he is from the south east of the country!

Really? A quick search returned the following: https://www.samuitimes.com/bank-ripped-off-100000-baht-claims-woman/ https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/crime/banks-confirm-refunds-to-recent-cyber-fraud-victims https://www.thaipbsworld.com/130m-stolen-from-over-10000-thai-bank-accounts-in-just-four-days/ None of those three bore any similarity to the case in this thread which is what I asked the poster about. In all of those linked cases the customers suffered no losses at all as the bank reimbursed every account involved. Probably best to read your link suggestions before posting!

I had not heard that.... was he doing business in Starbucks or a food court? Early reports sad that he had met some customers off-premises.

Or to be exact, 5 working days. Isn't happening! 7, to be precise, if you want to exclude the weekend but include the 5th!

Not exactly... Why were the customers only going to 1 employee?? That is strange.. Besides that 3,5 % interest a month is a bit much( 42% a year)... Why did the manager not question what was going on every last days of the month?? and much much more....What happened with the money? Google will answer all your questions!

There is no "random testing" anywhere, including every other country!

Could this possibly be the source of the infection ????? Could the family be the source of the infection?

Isn't that how everything spreads?

Google has it all.

This is an ongoing story, initially reported some time ago, you need to read the previous reports.

The bank and police have promised a result by 5th January, as clearly reported, so, a long, hard nine days to go.

...by one rogue employee, not by the bank.

All commercial banks exist for the benefit of shareholders, not just Thai banks.

Theft.

"Seems to be a lot of stories like this". Nonsense. It's be interesting to see you quote specifics of there "seeming to be a lot of stories like this". I've never seen anything similar reported before or since, can you detail just one similar case? " How can they expect farang to deposit 800k for retirement visa?" Very easily. This was a one-off, it is not typical of Thailand's banks.

It's the latter.

It's all been well-reported for a long time, this is an ongoing investigation that doesn't need to be duplicated, ad nauseum, in every OP.

Just because they are Caucasian, it doesn't mean that English is their first language ... You think that one out of the one hundred-plus would know correct English, though!

Not high end.. ...the dregs!
