Big Joke in Pattaya: Online Korean betting gang arrested - condo owner to face prosecution too

 

Picture: Daily News

 

Immigration chief Lt-Gen Surachate Hakparn announced the arrest of four South Koreans who were running an online betting business from a South Pattaya condominium. 

 

The suspects - aged from 35 to 41 - were found in possession of electronic evidence including two devices to change OTPs (one time passwords).

 

They were offering gambling opportunities on football, lotteries and casino games to people in their home country. 

 

Surachate - known by his moniker of Big Joke - said that the suspects were paid 80,000 baht each but had only been in operation for two weeks. So far they had turned over 2,500,000 baht. 

 

They were all on tourist visas. 

 

Surachate said that the Thai police will also prosecute the owner of the condo and room manager for failing to report the whereabouts of foreigners staying in Thailand.

New bikes, new haircuts, new fitness programme; all have been tried before.

Better pay and conditions linked to promotion based on merit rather than the ability to pay should be the new norms.

What more would you like to find out ? New chiefs date of birth so you can buy him a gift?

 

the only change concerning you and me and everyone else is that new regulation not to grant police bail to anyone for any offence , no matter how small or big.

 

now you will not be able to bribe any officer to grant you bail , but you will be able to bribe inspector of your case to send you to court quickly or wait in the cells ????

It's of no concern to me; and most posters here; who are law abiding citizens and are not going to be spending time at the cop shop, inside or outside of a cell.

PS. When was the last time you were grabbed for drunk driving and paid 5000, 6000 or 7000? 

Every time I read a Big Joke headline I can't help think of the Adventures of Superman.
