Mystery of the Swedish man's empty bank account - it was a Thai family inside job after all!

 

 

The drama of why a Swedish man and his Thai wife's Thai bank account was emptied has now been explained. 

 

Nonthaphat, 47, and her Swedish husband came back to Thailand from Sweden in September calling for justice.

 

They claimed that someone at the bank had spent all their money using e-banking. The account had had 480,000 baht but now there was only 680 baht left.

 

Now it has been discovered that the money was in fact all spent in an online shopping spree from the 16th August to the 17th of September by Nonthaphat's eldest daughter . 

 

Nonthaphat apologized to the bank who in turn have said they will not counter sue and will let the matter rest.

 

The Chaiyaphum police told Sanook that they will not be taking the matter further as the mother did not wish to press charges against her daughter.

 

The case is now closed. 

 

The bank was not named in the Sanook report.

Oooops! So there you have it folks. Even knowing a song and dance, and howl for justice was being made over the matter, the daughter kept quiet, hoping stupidly, that she wouldn't be caught.

I bet the bank is breathing a big sigh of relief though.

No mention of what the Swedish man
(whose money went missing) thought about it !

How can this be, surely there's some mistake, this story runs counter to TVF poster culture.

 

arf arf!

If it was my daughter, I would be very sorely tempted to pursue the case to teach her a lesson.  

daughter needs to be locked up for theft, thais continually do crap like this because they are never made to face up to their actions, daughter or not, this is really bad parenting, she needs to be made responsible for what she did

Oh wait, you were doing just great until the very last line, was it really necessary to imply this might be a rare exception.

What with the haircut  the daughter gave him, he won't need to visit his barber very soon.

Banks have been in the news recently for exactly what the couple had suggested here, so it seems fair enough and was made slightly tongue in cheek.

The good thing about the matter is that it has been satisfactorily explained.

I am sure the bank had some concerns when they started the investigation, because staff fraud does happen.

And lets be honest, they must be happy that they were found to be in the clear.

A lot happier than the Swedish fella is right now, I am sure, and his wife.

Be assured that the matter will be strongly discussed indoors !!!

What a surprise - or maybe not...

How naive do you have to be to believe that wife was not on it?

 

how did daughter know account number ? Received OTP and had full access to this account to be able to make purchases online?

I can only repeat my advice to all:

keep your finances private from everyone

It should be the wife who is locked up for divulging the account details to members of her family !!

That is a serious shopping spree. 480,000 in a month!

Still, I guess it is easier to make those purchasing decisions, when it is somebody elses money.

so the daughter now has breast implants, a nose job, braces, white skin, a new wardrobe, iPhone XS Max and a new Vespa scooter.

Fun to read through the original thread and see the misc. (mostly false) assumptions.

Robbing bank employes etc.

A daughter was mentioned in the article, could they check her finger prints on the bank books etc etc.....

 

Daughter was probably dumped in the village while the mum lived a life of luxury . Payback ! 

First a big relief to all that this was not another case of a dishonest bank employee robbing a foreign customer's account,.

 

Second, a big lesson the to poor Swede in trusting the family of his Thai wife...sorry but the facts speak for themselves.

 

Third, is is very very disrespectful from the Thai wife who should feel herself lucky to have a generous foreign provider, to try to minimalise the theft from her daughter, as that's the impression one get's on reading.

Yep-definitely.

 

Tho' they all have PhD's in denial,projection and deflection.

 

If I was the Swedish chap I would give them the flick-plenty more in the rather stagnant pond.

Further, daughter probably feels entitled to take the money.

Maybe you know more than others. How do you know who divulged what to whom. This whole thread is rife with speculation.

Just another example of Thai family members stealing from each other. Nothing very unusual, and nothing that many people on here haven't come across (and commented on) a hundred times.

 

Also nothing unusual about the thief not being prosecuted. The Thai solution is commonly to sweep everything under the carpet and this is just one more example of that.

Many Thais know that the world owes them a living.

Silver lining: They were left with 680 baht.
