Thailand's tech or cyber cops arrested a 20 year old man called Thapakorn at a hotel in Si Maha Phot district of Prachinburi after complaints he tried to sell vaccines on Facebook.

 

The suspect had seven Facebook accounts and on each he drew in victims with seemingly innocuous comments about getting vaccinations. 

 

Once people showed an interest Thapakorn used a ruse that he had the right to a vaccine that was left over as part of a larger deal.

 

He was willing to sell this for 3,300 baht, presumably for two shots.

It referred to Moderna and Sinopharm jabs. 

 

One conversation as part of the evidence retrieved from the suspect showed by INN was a conversation in which the suspect was chatting with a woman who agreed to pay the money.

 

A total of 8,000 baht was taken into evidence. 

 

It was discovered that Thapakorn was released from jail in September after serving a 1 year and 6 month sentence for online fraud.

A bit more jail time should help him to lose that belly. ????

At the age he is, it clearly looks like that guy should lower the intake of chips and be a little bit more sporty.

Sounds like Norman Stanley Fletcher, a tv character who was considered to be a career criminal.
