Some of the foreigners living in Thailand lived a life of celebacy for decades before moving to SE Asia. Some of them were even married during some of that time. So I am not sure you are preaching to the right audience.

But it would be fraud if one fraudulently removed assets from a company that was being sued/owed money and claimed they had nothing. Of course, because of the lack of reporting standards, nothing is clear

This is almost hilarious. In open societies that are democracies, freedom of speech has a central priority. Since, as even the most badly trained lawyer knows, laws in democracies come from the elected officials, it is expected that activists will advocate to change laws that they feel are decriminatory or wrong. No amount of going to court will change a law unless one has the extraordinary luck to have one's case included in the docket for the supreme court of the country - and one lives long enough, as that can take decades, if it occurs at all.

While I never had a tenant like that, I did have tenants in Western countries who destroyed an apartment in a multitude of other ways. marked or destroyed most of the furniture, broke all the locks on the several patio doors, completely fouled the carpets, white goods (oven, cooker and fridge and washing machine) had to be replaced, beds were in terrible condition as they did not seem to use sheets at least some of the time. They gave the neighbours a terrible time with noise, climbing onto balconies of other flats etc. Getting them to leave was not easy due to laws favouring the tenants. After they left, I spent several months and fifteen thousand dollars equivalent restoring the property and refurnishing it. The tenants kept threatening me with legal action and reporting me for non-existent infringements of rules. I became much more careful about vetting tenants from then on. By the way, these were middle class tenants - one was a lawyer. After that, I always meet the tenants face to face and don't rely on some agent to just fill the apartment so that he can get his commission quickly.
