So I would guess that this story will fade into insignificance like all others involving "influential" people.....especially if they have or had stars on their shoulders!

... not really new, of course, it has always been this way... untill someone forgets something....

In later (fake) news, Wirachai is transferred to an inactive duty station; NACC will be asked to investigate pending any PTP officials who can be blamed.
