Huay Sriwirat, aged 76, accompanied by her lawyer Ananchai Chaidet, today (November 19) filed a lawsuit at Phra Khanong Civil Court against KasikornBank, four bank employees and her own daughter for allegedly withdrawing more than Bt250 million from her bank account by using fake documents.

 

In 2014, while Huay was being treated for coronary artery disease in a hospital, her daughter and a few of the bank's employees allegedly colluded in changing the withdrawal rules of Huay’s savings account from signing with a signature to fingerprint identification. They later used a fake power of attorney document to verify the withdrawal.

 

They also took money from Huay’s opened-end fund.

 

The public prosecutor decided to sue the victim’s daughter and the four bank employees in a criminal case of embezzlement and faking documents.

 

Meanwhile, KasikornBank has clarified in a statement that its employees proceeded according to the wishes of the customer's close relatives, with no ill intention. 

 

The bank will provide facts and evidence in compliance with court's orders, it said.

Immaterial and irrelevant what the "close relatives" wanted.  The laws and the bank policies spell out pretty clearly who has jurisdiction and authority on how process a person's bank account.  Of course disgusting behavior on the daughter and most likely the bank employees also, but that is for a court to decide

So according to this lame excuse anyone can march into a bank branch and clean out their close relative's bank account because they "wish to do so" and without bank staff demanding to see some legitimization?  

yeah, well, in some cases yes, I have heard of that.  In this case, it seems likely that the bank employees colluded with the daughter to make things look legitimate with fake documents, power of attorney paperwork, joint signature or account ownership etc.

Fraud by bank employees makes the bank liable.

I'm thinking they got a share of the money.

"KasikornBank has clarified in a statement that its employees proceeded according to the wishes of the customer's close relatives, with no ill intention. "

 

as for their share of the money ….  well   …….. that's anyone's guess. 

 

OT:  your up early this morning
