KhunKenAP Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Did they arrest the cops that were involved? Are they going to charge the banks that ignored the money laundering? If they every expect to change things they need to take down the trees and the roots, not a couple of damaged limbs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will never eradicate gambling as it's an addiction for most Thai's. With just one operation turning over in excess of 1 billion baht it's time they legalised and taxed it. They could do same with prostitution (if that existed). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfill Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Why has he got a face? Judging by most of the pictures of arrested suspects, they usually have no face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
