It was so nice of him to let the older man have a seat:

It is relevant as in the OP to: the Bank of Thailand, targeting mule accounts linked to fraud and money laundering activities.

I made no reference to the account of a foreigner.

And just who uses mule accounts. Someone who deals with large amounts of unreported cash money that they would have a hard time explaining the source of that money. Like someone who receives large amounts of cash from a "reputable agent" which they certainly would not want to deposit in their own accounts. So who owns the account? As explained in 'The Shawshank Redemption': ... a phantom, an apparition. Second cousin to Harvey the Rabbit.

So now, just like with Americans before, the only real hassle is for persons who claimed to have 65K+ baht per month as sworn in their affidavit but do not have 65K+ per month to deposit.

And for the usual responders on here that is just Trump-being-Trump (TM)

The first Supreme Court challenge to one of Trump's firings may be coming up soon. Stay tuned.

At this point, it's only illegal when the Supreme Court says it is, if they so choose. But that deliberate distraction gambit is getting maybe a bit overplayed.

Trump: If it saves the country, it's not illegal WASHINGTON, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Echoing France's Napoleon Bonaparte, U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday took to social media to signal continued resistance to limits on his executive authority in the face of multiple legal challenges. "He who saves his Country does not violate any Law," Trump, a Republican, proclaimed on his Truth Social network. The White House did not respond to a request for more details. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-if-it-saves-country-its-not-illegal-2025-02-16/

I brought my own condo with me -- but that was a while ago when the excess baggage fees weren't so high.

As I first said when living in rural North Florida: If you didn't bring it, it ain't there.

02/16/25 6:00 AM ET The House GOP’s budget resolution could be in jeopardy of not clearing the full chamber amid concerns from moderates over likely cuts to social safety net programs — particularly Medicaid — with a handful undecided on whether they will support the key measure. Reps. David Valadao (R-Calif.) and Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) — both of whom represent districts with a significant percentage of Medicaid recipients — told The Hill that they are withholding support from the budget resolution as they seek more information on the severity of the cuts and how they could impact their constituents. <SKIP> “There’s only one place you can go, and that’s Medicaid. That’s where the money is,” Rep. Russ Fulcher (R-Idaho), who sits on the Energy and Commerce Committee. “There’s others, don’t get me wrong, but if you’re gonna get to $900 billion, something has to be reformed on the Medicaid front.” https://thehill.com/homenews/5146860-gop-budget-resolution-moderates-medicaid/

They can always use the 65K+ per month int'l deposit route which requires no balance in the account but that does not afford the same ability to let others know how clever they are.

And as per Section 35 of the Immigration Act (1979) as you roughly reference above, if a 'competent official' chooses to waive the nominal extension requirements, he or she is allowed to do so to the tune of 2000 baht as stipulated in item 3 of the Immigration Act (1979( fee schedule.

Yes and even if that interpretation of Section 35 of the Thai Immigration Act (1979), the fee for a Section 35 extension is specified at Rate of fees, working fees, and other expenses _________________ Fees _________________ (3) Application for extension of temporary stay in the Kingdom under Section 35, per person, each time 2,000 baht.

Right -- so when the office chief gets a payment from a "reputable agent" in assisting a non-funded extension of stay, where does that money go -- into his or her own bank account or a convenient others name (animal reference) bank account?

That depends how you choose to interpret the words 'financial crime' in the OP.

Only one Emil Bove.

Of course going the non-funded agent route for a retirement extension is illegal . If it were legal, you wouldn't need an agent.

You should let Emil Bove know.

Judge can appoint a different federal prosecutor.

The judge in the Adams case (Dale Ho) is not obligated to dismiss the charges against Mayor Adams even at the prosecution's request as the indictment was the product of a Federal grand jury

To the above, seems to me that is the nature of the beast. Health insurers do little if any corroboration of the medical statements presented by a potential policy holder upon application. They will only start any real investigation when presented with a claim. If no claim has been presented, then, to them, what is the difference?
