Interesting that he was charged over 28m baht but they recovered 43m baht in assets. Either there are a bunch of people out there who are too ashamed to say they were scammed or he's really good at investing his money. There was a lot more than the amount in today's article when he first went AWOL. A lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Deerhunter Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Some clever crook though. Instead of spending it all, he parlayed 28 mil up to 43 mil which the Thai govt has since confiscated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonmarleesco Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 'He was also ordered to repay all his victims.' That involves the presumption that he has the funds to do so. Highly unlikely. 'Among the whoppers sold were what he claimed would be the world’s biggest jade Buddha statue and another of him made entirely of gold.' They would pay for a statue of HIM in gold. The mind boggles.

Abstracting money or gifts under false pretenses or else with unproven foundation is illegal Firstly every religion is different. Secondly, every donation given is for a different reason. Do you think that for example, people giving money to meditation classes at a Buddhist temple in Australia, ran by a Western monk to be something under false pretences? Sure, there are many many fakes out there, only in the religion game to take money from people and other nefarious means, but it isn't all. That is the issue with talking in extremes. Some religions will drives money to help charities, such as for homeless people or domestic abuse for example. So again, I bring the point back to thinking in generalities and extremes, it's narrow minded and short-sighted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerryd Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 The "29 Mil" is just what he scammed from the 29 donors that sued him. The "43 Mil" in assets is what he scammed from all the other people that donated to his temple over the years before he went on the lam. (The "43 mil" in assets may include the "29 mil" he scammed from those investors, meaning the other 14 Mil was probably scammed from all the other, smaller donors.)

Jeremy50 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Where is the rest of the money? A Ferrari will cost 40 million here at least, and 28 million puts you nowhere near the class of being able to use private jets, unless you want to spend it all in a month.

spidermike007 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 No doubt he will be treated in a very royal manner, by his fellow inmates. They will take "special" care of him. He deserves what he got. He worked hard for this reward. Let us just hope he actually serves the sentence. Money like that goes a long way here.
