Chiang Mai: Young couple stole nearly 4 million baht from employer during lockdown

 

Picture: Sanook

 

A former bank employee and her boyfriend, aged just 26 and 31, siphoned off nearly four million baht from the woman's employer.

 

Using an app they stole 3,975,841 baht in 115 withdrawals between April 19th and June 11th. 

 

Finally the woman's employer noticed and went to the Chiang Mai police with their suspicions resulting in the issuing of a warrant.

 

The woman, a resident of Muang district was arrested at work, the boyfriend, from San Sai, surrendered to police. 

 

She had used her knowledge of banking operations in the past to change passwords for the couple's benefit and transfer money to their accounts.

 

They used the cash to pay off debts, buy goods and do some online gambling. 

 

Region 5 chief Lt-Gen Prachuab Wongsuk said that the couple have been charged with conspiracy to steal and theft from an employer.

After release from prison this young woman who already has experience in banks will be able to work overseas in the banking world.

Assuming this Thai prisoner training is accepted in other countries

To the gulag they must go, off to the prison in Bangkok, where they will wish they lived in squalor as its worse then that...

Worse than that. It is 115 offenses at 12 months a pop. Thailand doesn't charge you with 2 or 3 and have the rest "taken into consideration," so they are not getting out for a very long time. Don't have a whole load of sympathy for them mind.

Wish I had that much money it took me 2 months to notice 4 million gone.

Surely running a business you would check online banking daily.

When I had my business I always checked bank for transactions. 

Dumb people.

Does that mean online gambling has become legal now?

I must be the only one to suspect the guy forced and coerced and intimidated the young girl into doing these crimes. She just suspected the crime spree to be caught out after a few hundred thousand baht went missing.  She couldn't of done it without the assistance from the bank and its apps. Six months tops for her.

Take a mini van and kill some people, call mum and walk away.

Provided, you have the right name. Bonnie & Clyde here commited a minor crime,

a week at the local temple and swiping the road should do.

Administration has never their strong point in that office. I left the original of an article there to be published some years back and when I called in later to find out why it had not been published, they told me they had lost it !

[bluebluewater]

Alas . . . .   these people are just not clever

[Henryford]

I wonder what sort of business the employer was in that didn't notice 4 million missing?

i get an SMS every Monday morning 7 am from Bangkok bank showing my balance. Also transfers/payments 

SMS from yellow bank withdrawals/transfers over 5,000 and showing balance, what still amazes me, I get the SMS before the money comes out through the rollers. Did they manage to change the phone num of the victim on bank records also

If they had used the money to "buy school uniforms and supplies for nieces and nephews", perhaps donating a percentage to the Thai Police Mia Noi Retirement Fund, they may have gotten away with a 500-baht fine, a deep wai, and a warning... ????

After undergoing retraining will be accepted in Australia. Training = Rip off the customers, not us. OK
