MP declares two ‘mythical’ magnetite pieces as assets worth one billion baht

 

 

A Palang Thai Rak Thai party-list MP has declared his assets to be worth about 1.1 billion baht, including two mythical metallic pieces (Lek Lai), which the MP claims have a combined value of 1 billion baht.

 

The MP, Kathathep Techadetruangkul, claimed in his assets declaration to the National Anti-Corruption Commission that he obtained the two Lek Lai, a rock mineral otherwise known as Magnetite which is believed to possess mysterious properties by the superstitious, in 1994.

 

His other assets include one meteorite worth about 10 million baht, two Phra Somdet Buddha amulets which he declared at about 25 million baht, 2.2 million baht in bank deposits, a house worth about eight million baht and about 800,000 baht of debt.

I found a grey rock in my front yard. Personally I think it's worth about 10 Gazillion baht.  PM me if you want to buy it.

This is useful because after his term as MP when he needs to do another asset declaration, it will be easier to explain why there is an extra few hundred million in his account.

Magnetite is naturally magnetic, is that it's mystical power?

His eyebrows may have mystical powers..

Guy found some substances resembling fossilized elephant dung and declared himself a billionaire, brilliant.

More inmates on the loose, how they get elected is a mystery tho'!

The MP kinda looks like a Thai Mr. Spock of Star Trek.  So, assuming the pieces are from his home planet of Vulcan they are indeed easily worth 1 billion baht.

The eyebrows yes, but he lacks the assorted ears - not a Vulcan!

 

He reminds me more of dr Evil....

Apart from themselves, I doubt anyone takes them seriously.

It would be worth 1 billion baht if someone paid that amount... well, not "worth" but valued perhaps... any takers so far?

I've got an old Gibson guitar I'll let you have for only 800 million, marked down from a billion. Act now, supplies limited

[Nyezhov]

The world wide crystal market is worth billions of USD and exploits poor folks all over the world, so this guy isnt the only numbskull out there. At least he has the excuse of being raised in a superstitious society, whats Paltrows excuse? or some New Ager in Scarsdale?

[atyclb]

all rocks from thailand can be called meteorites as they come from a different planet

Indeed. This is probably the whole purpose of this declaration.

But i wonder why he used just two rocks, this means he can just make two deals. He should have declared 1000 rocks valued at a million each.

[jerojero]

Oh, puh...lee..z! He's got to be kidding. Loony.

Make sure you take out insurance covering loss and damage in transit.

We'll know as soon as our glorious leader collapses on the floor in a heap, unable to punch anyone in the mouth.

clearly a Trekkie, but he doesn't know if he wants to be a Vulcan or a Romulan.

I don't think the two Eastern Europeans were ever married were they?

Guy is a forward thinking genius.

 

A few years from now, when his new assets are 1billion in cash, he just says he sold the rocks and his asset value has not changed.

 

This is so far ahead of average Thai Visa's comprehension.

 

Next level brilliance.

[PatOngo]

I see a real opportunity here, this could be the answer to the TM30 curse. I think he would be tempted to sell it for Bt 950 million, I'd like to put together a cash offer and am prepared to form a syndicate to achieve this, who's in?

I have some in safe keeping,  a strange guy with a funny cape and wearing underpants on the outside of his tights asked me to take care of it - said it makes him come over all strange when he gets too close to it, no power and has trouble with his fly or flying - I  wasn't at all clear on that point but felt I should offer a helping hand. Now if he should pass-away, can I claim it as a gift from a dead friend?

Exactly, a very clever strategy. He can say he sold them to a friend, who has since died - brother of the guy who lends out expensive watches. This will surely explain all the extra cash in his account - sounds legit.
