A couple of phone calls to the Richard Mille company could clear up who bought the watches instantly, but I guess no one really wants to know the answer, including the NACC.

That would come under 'invasion of privacy,' can't see a company giving out that information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty dumb cos if the owner died why were the watches not returned to his family as part of his estate? if you borrow something it does not become yours when the owner dies. Telling one lie after another has just got him into a hole he cannot get out of. All Thais are equal when it comes to corruption, but some are more equal than others it seems.

JonnyF Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Either they were bought in Thailand (in which case it is under Thai jurisdiction and they can demand information from the supplier) or they were imported and they will have details of who paid the import tax to the Thai government (unless we are also looking at tax evasion here). 20 high end watches worth a million US Dollars should not just appear in Thailand with no paper trail. Unless they were brought over on say, a private jet from a taxpayer funded trip to Hawaii. But the top brass of the Junta are obviously far too honest to take advantage in such a way .

The big difference is in the past these things could be easily swept under the carpet with some gibberish excuse and dismissed. If any one dared to question the veracity of the gibberish, they'd be verbally roasted, bullied, intimidated and probably punished in some way. Now, thanks to IT, it's not so easy to dismiss. But dismiss it they will. Just takes a bit longer and maybe have to get a bit more heavy handed. Nothing will happen because if such a big, very big, domino were to fall over, imagine the knock on effect to all those other big dominos. Again, shows the reality is, the elite top echelons are truly untouchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Hummm, someone is really missing the point of what the nature of corruption is all about. Such as in the appearance of impropriety and personal gain stemming from one's public office. But instead, double-down and tell the 'little people' to mind their own business and shut up. That's going to go over well in both the North, Northeast, and the far South. Sure, he can keep pounding that Article 44 cork bottle stopper to contain the nations problems, but like a bottle of champagne - heat it and shake it hard enough, and eventually the top bursts off from the pressure and the contents spew all over the room, or the entire bottle explodes. Such is the nature of hubris. Edited January 24, 2018 by connda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
