Court Returns 77 Million Baht Seized Assets to Lawyer and Wife in Fraud Case

She also engaged in a business venture with Sittha, involving a lottery platform in Thailand, to which she contributed about 71 million baht. When the venture showed no progress and Sittha refused to return the investment, suspicions arose regarding the finance's possible misuse for luxury items.

Sittha denied any malfeasance, asserting the money was a voluntary gift from Jatuporn, which included supporting his children’s overseas education.

Seems to be a lot missing from this story.

Why would she'gift' 71 million to a lawyer and support his children overseas?

How can anyone ever suggest a lawyer would ever be naughty?

Reminds me of the words of William Shakespeare in Henry VI when he wrote " The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers" - such a terrible thing to write- I think his writings will not be popular - lol !!

Seems that the court, based on there being not any evidence of fraud and instructing the return of the assets, did not think there was a lot missing from the story.

The court didn't say there wasn't ANY evidence. This is what they said.

However, yesterday the court dismissed these claims due to a lack of definitive proof of fraud or money laundering

You need to be reminded that the character's quote was made in a satirical and anarchic context. Far from being a literal call for violence, the line emphasisesd the essential role of lawyers as guardians of the rule of law and justice.

This is what the court said...

"The court found insufficient evidence to support the accusations, leading to the assets' return".

It would not be rational to speculate that, from that quote, there was some evidence to support the accusations.

Thanks for confirming that your previous claim, that the court said there wasn't ANY evidence, was incorrect.

Insufficient has also a completely different meaning from NOT ANY.

And giving thumbs down to posts that beat you with your own pedant weapons, only shows what a silly poor attitude you have.

I didn't confirm that my comment was incorrect. The court found that there was insufficient evidence to convict them so it's fair to say that there wasn't any evidence to convict them.

You are of course correct- but as I recall from days of history lessons from long ago I think lawyers have always been less than popular

I am assuming from your name that you are in fact a lawyer. If so, I commend the somewhat self deprecating humor. 😃

sadly it is true I am a lawyer- but despite that I am also human - I always was inspired by the foreword to the classic To kill a Mockingbird" that states "Even lawyers were children- I suppose"
