[roo860]

Sounds like an early start to the week with Dr Chang. Good Luck!

 

I wish, but not with Chang!

You sound like a right caring soul!

 

What if it was your parents who had been taken in and cheated?  A lot of these scammers are very organized and very convincing and people are not necessarily on get rich quick schemes that fall foul of these shysters.

There seems to be a lot of these criminal types of "Brits' living in Thailand, especially Pattaya

Lots of these types of British criminals were living large on the Costa del Crime, 

in Malaga and other such places. The Spanish have tightened up more recently.,

I was thinking of another description for him, but I'd get a red card.

They can catch him  arrest him without issue.but when it comes to some Thais on the run they have no idea where they are,and never arrest them.i suppose this is Thailand

No such thing.  The local police have arrested him on the back of a 'Red Notice' and will be held with a view to extradition.

Yes, I am curious about this.
Thailand erred, I believe, in the case of Ms. Yingluck, expecting that Interpol would automatically issue a "Red notice", requesting her arrest. Very few nations probably would consider her a criminal, and that is one of the criteria for Interpol as well. The subject must meet the test of criminality under the laws of the arresting nation, and Interpol will not even issue the notification if the subject does not meet their own criteria.
This guy, within the confines of the reporting here, seems like a bad hombre, and apparently Interpol and Spain agree. Will Spain extradite him? Good question. Per snowgard's post, Spain has the right under the European Convention on Extradition, to which they are signatory, to refuse extradition to states having the death penalty. Spain may waive that right if they receive an assurance that an execution will not take place.
I am gratified that Thai authorities seem to have gotten it right in this case re; requesting a "Red Notice". Too bad, IMO, the reporting did not even mention Interpol involvement, but implied that Thailand can issue an "International arrest warrant".
Sit back and enjoy the show.

There is a big difference between greedy people being strung along and OAP's and less experienced people being targeted, groomed and exploited by scum who operate boiler house type frauds. Many people can't or don't know how to deal with such scum and get sucked in and manipulated into positions they had no intention of getting into.

 

Even the legal operation who employ pressure sales calls from overseas call centers are scumbags trying to push old people into deals they don't want. One lot tried it on with my old mum. There conversation with me wasn't pleasant, especially when they thought they could get heavy.

 

No sympathy at all for the criminal who got shot.

They were pretending to be stockbrokers, this is not a case like the Nigerian marriage scam where both parties are aware that they are breaking the law, these people have just been conned, quite different.

Amazing how well Interpol works. I mean for NON THAIS. Because strange enough when Thailand issues a international  arrest warrant for a fugitive Thai (rich) Interpol can't find him.

Thailand still has the death penalty and a lot of countries will not extradite those held on an arrest warrant because of this , I am sure his lawyers will be using every trick in the book to avoid him being deported to Thailand.

You reap what you sow! Good riddance to two scumbags who made others lives miserable! One dead and one will rot in prison.

They were all doing the ripping off including each other which is why the murder occurred.

I like reading about boiler room cockroaches killing each other and going to jail, warm and fuzzy feeling.

At the end of it all the world will be a better place. It already is with Mr Kenway gone. No tears here. 

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

Hmmm.... international arrest warrant issued by Thai police???  Does that mean, as it likely means, that they worked thru Interpol to get the arrest warrant in their system and thus known to other countries???

 

Amazing what the Thai police can accomplish on the international scene, when they try...

 

So let's see, what other non-political convicts or accuseds on the run could they possibly seek international arrest warrants against???

The Brits will not allow him to be extradited to Thailand as they have the death penalty in that country.

He was next door in Cambodia & the Thai authorities didn't apply for extradition.

Cambodia has less strict extradition treaties than other countries 

So easier to extradite to next door Thailand.  Why did no Thai cop seek to have him returned?

Not on this thread you won't.

[happy chappie]

The Thai authorities will assure the British government that he won't get the death penalty.they did this with a English kick boxer who killed a us marine in Phuket a few years back and had him extradited back here.as for this report as far as I can remember it was a dispute over 5 million baht.wether he scammed or run off with the money I don't know but it looks like he died for less than the  price of his car.

Murderer ! Hope you can serve the maximum penalty.

Murder and killing are not the same. The man was no victim but he had many victims. It’s their world. It’s not the same as some being killed over and Iphone. 

 

Leave them to it

The most embarrassing part of being scammed is when you realise you got caught by your own greed .
