Jiratpisit’s elder brother, Parinya, who is still a fugitive, has a bank account worth Bt111.9 million, while his elder sister, Supitcha, has a bank account worth Bt140.1 million. 

The whole family seems to have been in on this one

Well, as most bank accounts apparently are frozen, he cannot access them. Not so much to enjoy. Yet.

Except the one they are keeping open for pay-offs to themselves in exchange for freedom !

[ChrisY1]

He's Thai....and likely a Hi-So Thai..with influential parents....of course he's free to go!

[bristolgeoff]

that is serious money and fraud.money on he will be joining a few others abroad with a new passport  to boot.yingluck and takism will be new best buddies along with red bull

Excellent job by the authorities. Dispells many of the Thai bashers favorites myths. Compentent authorities freeze the bank accounts, make arrests of hi so people, do it for a foreign national, and Publize it.  Yet the Thai bashing continues from the same group of sad grumpy people who simply exist on this planet in a cage of mental misery.  Too bad they have access to a computer to spread their misery virus.

Now the Thais will be sure that whites are morons easy to cheat.
Thanks ... Mr. Finnish Bitcoin no longer the owner .

And all he had to do was to sacrifice 2m baht in return for his remaining ill-gotten 19.6m Baht

 

Meanwhile, comedy actors Por, Chor, Chat and quack are off like rats up a drainpipe enjoying the rest of the 800m with this clown and his brother!

 

The "officials" are content with the bulging brown envelopes.

Yes most bank accounts are frozen until cases are over, then will be reopened for the so called authorities to get their snouts in the trough.

I bet that Finnish guy is finished with that Thai guy and might like to tie him up and kick his butt, but ...

[africasiaeuro]

' Parinya was found to have opened several companies in Thailand and Hong Kong in connection with the case. Finnish Bitcoin owner Aarni Otava Saarimaa was lured into transferring Bitcoins worth almost Bt800 million to Thai suspects for further investment in Thai and other securities as well as for use in Macau casinos. '...

People are greedy ..

Would have been enough to convert the BC and live a cool life somewhere.  Aarni Otava Saarimaa .. not enough ? africasiaeuro

The people I know buying Bitcoin are trying to hide money from the government.  I don’t think most people are reporting any profit and paying taxes from Bitcoin transactions.

I think governments have been ripping people off for years. Is it any wonder people want to hide it from them

[rickudon]

Big mistake by the Thai guys converting their stolen bitcoins into Baht bank accounts. They should have chosen some third country(s) to change their bitcoins then the digital trail much harder to follow and funds scattered around the world. 

 

Guess they (scammed and scammers) were all a bit dumb.

 

Invest in bitcoins ..... i wonder what the theft rate is?

[falangjim]

The real scam is that he fancies himself an actor.

Have you seen enough of his acting to make that assessment?

 

[oldrunner]

.....let's see, just how far can I get with only 8,000,000 Baht. Goodbye Thai justice system.

I doubt that it's incompetent, more likely that he has far more than 2M baht needed for bail remaining from the swindled amount and is sharing it.

If he is a flight risk he should not be on bail that is the point

[wvavin]

Thai corruption and cheat at its best. 

[SOTIRIOS]

...the whole affair is perverse...including the paltry amount required for bail....

 

...and of course....'It wasn't me...it wasn't me....'...so nobody to blame....

 

...and no others to be named anyway either....

 

...it boggles the mind...

[owenm]

Another Red Bull runner!! What a joke.. And his passport is where??? Why hang around?? At least he has time up his sleeves to sort out his finances before he disappears!!!

There are different kinds of risks. Regulatory risk, business risk, political risk, currency risk...but if you add lack of lack of court justice, i.e. unpunished rogue dealings risk with no remedies, it quickly sinks to abyss.

And Thai risk

dont know to much about bitcoin,  but my research seems to point to the fact that they are easy to buy but not so easy to turn back in to hard cash,  so some one did well at the selling to get approx 17 million pounds. i wonder how many bitcoin were sold and what the price was ???????

[tattoodrob]

How the hell does a Finnish 22 year old get that much spare cash to lose and not be a prominent business man or from well known  family in Finland...google his name and nothing!! ......and took 6 months to get this far as he complained in January about the scam,why the hell the  scammers hang about Thailand..ok the main scammer seems to have disappeared but the rest just sitting on millions in there accounts..did they think he would just be ok with losing that much money and say/do nothing..i expect they thought if any problem then will bribe there way out..lets see if they do...or not see as the case may be.....if he actually gets 90% of it back then should be a very happy bunny......silly boy.
