He's being paid to do time so the police can close the case and the real villains get away with the loot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooliganzone Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 The article says, The man who ripped off more than 1000 people to the tune of 5 billion baht. He has also been ordered to repay 1.3 billion baht. So he is 3.7 billion baht up when he gets out in 20 years. Doesn't make any sense to me...

The 1.3 B Bhat may have just been the profit that he made . If it was a ponzi scheme , he would have had to pay out investors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveyh Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Anyone investing their hard earned money in Thailand is always taking a huge risk as most ventures turn sour & someone ends up losing everything here. There's no protection or guarantee ever of getting your money back once you have released it for whatever purpose. I've never witnessed so much corruption in one place & a lot of it exists between expats too. This country just attracts criminals due to the weak judicial system here & most of the prison sentences & fines do not fit the crime. I would certainly welcome a strong government policy against corruption ....... a penal colony that specializes in "hard labour" would be an excellent idea. Thailand has many uninhabited islands, which could be used for this purpose where the "dregs of society" could be detained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midas Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Well it's pretty evident from this that Thailand considers its far more important to eradicate Ponzi schemes than seeking justice when a rich kid kills a cop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving the cash on a daily basis, putting it in a pickup, securing it, driving it home, unloading it, would already take most of his day. And you cant hire Burmese to do that for you for 300 baht a day. All i want to say is that the amount of money is almost unimaginable to me.

First he probably not do the full 20 years... Then supposedly made 5 billion THB, ordered to pay back 1.3 billion THB so that leaves 3.7 Billion THB. OK probably does not have that much stacked away, lets assume he only has 10% stashed away, 370 Million THB = $12million USD/£9 Million GBP I am sure some of it could be used to bribe prison guards, and when he gets out he will still be loaded...

KKr Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 actually, 150 million USD worth, while it is not small money imho, is nowhere near Madoff's 65 billion USD gathered from various investors, and the billions of losses involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newnative Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Nice work if you can get it. Likely out in 5 years or less and probably at least a billion socked away. Should be locked up for life like Madoff. And, why have a ridiculous 13,000 year sentence if in reality it is only 20 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my [device_name] using http://Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app With reductions for good behaviour, gifts of remissions each year during King & Queens birthdays etc he can be free in about 8-10 years to begin enjoying his billions. He would still be very young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
