It seems one reason for the revision was that there were tax free gifts well in excess of 20 million baht that were becoming routine as a means to avoid future inheritance taxes.

It seems to me the main purpose of the Feb 1, 2016 Gift Tax revision was to close the loophole on tax free gifts in excess of 20 million baht per year -- not to allow tax-free foreign sourced gifts under 20 million baht per year.

Probably same ones as last time.

From the 14 AUG 2024 Tom Pappert article quoting Prof. Kline on the Trulove case: Still, Kline maintained, “It is too simple of a conclusion to say her office is at fault,” because it’s unclear whether Harris or Allen “had knowledge of the existence of this information,” or whether the police officers involved also hid the information from the prosecuting attorneys. Kline nonetheless told Leahy that questions over potential evidence would have “generally” surfaced for Harris or Allen when interviewing officers and preparing the case for trial. https://tennesseestar.com/kamalafare/man-wrongly-convicted-of-murder-under-kamala-harris-im-going-with-donald-trump-in-2024/tpappert/2024/08/14/?swcfpc=1

Just to note that the linked LA Times article does not contain the name "Trulove".

Harris upended Trump’s electoral fortunes. Just look at North Carolina. The state, which Trump won in both 2016 and 2020, had for months looked like an easy win. 08/21/2024 07:16 PM EDT Wearing a “Let’s Go Brandon” shirt at the rally, Geanie McDowell, 46, of Asheboro, said she’s concerned about the increasing difficulty to win the state with Harris at the top of the ticket. “It’s become a tighter race. Now we’re worried Kamala might take the lead,” McDowell said, explaining that because “she’s younger, and she’s a woman,” Harris may appeal to some voters in a new way. What should Trump do to keep a Harris win from happening? “Keep his mouth shut,” McDowell said. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/21/trump-harris-battleground-states-00175576

I was traveling for work in PRChina and SE Asia when you were still in grade school or whatever they call it there. I'll stick with what's right for me often enough just the same.

Not much Scuba and I agree on but I'll go for that.

Why did the Federal Reserve allow Lehman Brothers to fail (SEP) 2008? The short answer was that Lehman was illiquid and lacked sufficient collateral to borrow enough from the Fed or to renew the repurchase agreement contracts (repos) to avert collapse. (when GW Bush was still President and before 2008 election)

The biggest bankruptcy of all time was declared by Lehman Brothers on Sept. 15, 2008. They had $691,063,000,000 in assets prior to bankruptcy. titlemax.com

Fom OP: Although mpox has been known for decades, a new and more lethal strain known as Clade 1b has recently caused a surge in mpox cases. From NYTimes: . Clade Ib appears to spread mainly through heterosexual sex.

From a link above: He sought medical help and tests were conducted to determine the nature of his sickness. Tests have ruled out the less severe variant of the disease 'Clade 2', leaving a potential diagnosis of 'Clade 1B', based on some unclear results. From today's NYTimes: Clade I is further differentiated by how it is transmitted, and who is most vulnerable. Clade Ia, epidemiologists have said, is spread through household contact and exposure to affected animals, in addition to sexual contact. So far, it is young children who are most vulnerable to this subtype. Clade Ib appears to spread mainly through heterosexual sex.

And as on here there are frequent topics related to wills in Thailand, some would say the 'long term' is how long the much younger Thai wife has to wait for the much older farang hubby to expire.

Willie Brown threatens to sue Trump over helicopter ride story August 16, 2024 / 9:42 PM EDT / CBS News Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown warned he may consider legal action against former President Donald Trump over a story he recently told about almost crashing in a helicopter with Brown. In an interview this week with CBS News, Brown said that he has never been in a helicopter with Trump and threatened to sue the former President because "somebody has got to make sure that he stops lying." "If he keeps it up, at some point, I'm going to give him a taste of his own conduct," Brown said. "If he sues The New York Times for printing that I said he lied, I'm going to sue him." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/willie-brown-donald-trump-helicopter-kamala-harris/
