Not sure what your point is here. That people often do return money? Yeah that's right. Even taxi drivers. But these two decided they found money and planned on keeping it. Had they turned the money in they'd have found out right away that it wasn't real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of you are saying that they knew the money was fake, not proven yet. You said 9 pages of people saying guilty. That they tried to change counterfeit notes is a crime, so they are objectively guilty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they knew it was fake why wouldnt they use it at a 7/11? 7/11 girls wouldnt be able to spot a fake as easily as money changers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just ignored? Read my posts. I said they should be punished, but not burnt at the stake. OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that this is a scam for sure. It was on local news but without too many details. Seems their lawyer recommended to stop saying it's Thailand scamming them.

Unless it's a bad fake it would be hard to tell. “They came across U.S. currency in the street and believed it to be pure luck,” the post states." Simple solution isn't it? Just return the stuff you picked up by the roadside to the authorities instead of shamelessly going on a spending spree! Pure luck? My foot! It is difficult to imagine how people can justify such low down actions purely to biased thinking. If they were Thai... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much money are they tying to pass off 2 dollars or hundreds? There will be money back from the gofundme page for sure 50.000 dollars for a lawyer I think not .I have been coming here 30 years and have never found a penny in the Street.I think they put it there. I've found money on the streets many, many times. If you added it up over the many years - 32 to be exact; perhaps 10,000 Baht. My wife found 500 Baht in the parking lot just last night.

If you'd bothered to read all the posts you'd know I was actually urging restraint, people were suggesting that they should be jailed and the key thrown away. I said that the crime (if they are guilty) is relatively minor as far as crimes go, it's not up there with murder or human trafficking, however some of the "hang 'em high" brigade chose to see it.
