That she didn't use it for the purpose you intended is not illegal, there was no fraud involved. If she pays you back with out hassle that's your good luck. i gave the money for the kid's they didn't get it they didn't spend it they didn't steal it.. their mother did ..she was not given the money...

Have you not read what hes said she was secretary for his company and had access to his account details, emphasis on his account details. he has emails admitting to the theft. The fact that she had access to his bank details simply makes the bank not liable for the theft but it is still theft by his wife. She has obtained money under false pretences He also states he left her the house/car so any court will realise she has the funds to repay the money by sale of any assets etc and should enforce the money to be repaid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got a few thousand Baht back but no where near the amount. This happens alot here in the Far East and despite asking so many times it is obvious not going to get this money back Nothing signed and one poster noticed it will cost far more to get it back and the ironic thing is her husband is a lawyer. Very much doubt you will get your money and you lost your business too.

From OP: "when i left france my x wife was still allowed access to my business account so all the final closedown could be done she also had access to my private account over 20 years ..anyway before i left france i gave my kids all the money i could i also put 10000 euros in an account my death account" From the wording of that it sounds like OP is talking about three different accounts business, private and 'death account' all of which his ex had access to. It sounds like the money was not in the business account and he mentions the other accounts to show he had trust in her and didn't expect she would help herself to the death account money. If it is just a private account he gave her access to without any legal agreement it was hers to do with as she wanted. Sleazy for sure but it doesn't sound like it would ever get prosecuted in a court. I highly doubt she admits to theft in emails. She may be admitting to helping herself to the money but doubtful she would say she stole it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickudon Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Trust an ex-wife? Big mistake. When i got divorced i paid for the divorce (uncontested). She had her own pensions so i said each should keep her own. Also said she could live in the house as long as she wanted. But 2 years later she went to court to get the house from me. My Thai sister-in-law had similar problem. Her American husband had divorced his wife in UK, and given her a house. He got cancer and died suddenly while undergoing treatment in the UK, while staying at ex-wifes house. She was very nice to my sister-in-law, said she would arrange everything - she did - including stealing all the husbands financial documents, laptop and anything else valuable, and draining their joint account, leaving S-in-Law destitute. I had to buy her ticket to get back to Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had already directed to his wife and his children that it was to be used on his death only. Just because she had access to it obviously does not mean she can take the money out to do as she pleases with. Her only defence would be to argue that he gave her permission but he had already informed his children the reason for the account. It I was actually was privy to an instance where an elderly lady had put money into an account for a grandchild, 6K, but was taken and spent by the parents. Police were prepared to prosecute but she would not press charges. Admittedly it would be problematic if he had not informed his children of the reason of the account and not/or mentioned it in a expression of wishes in his will but that is not the case here as the children were aware. Charges can be filed and would likely come under the following guidelines Financial mismanagement by people without legal authority Where someone manages a persons finances without formal legal authority then they still have a legal duty to keep detailed financial records and be ready to justify any transactions that take place Edited August 20, 2021 by Dene16 delete word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the legal jurisdiction is France. I am not familiar with the French legal system but give the following. The French definition of theft is fraudulent appropriation . From what you have described it is unclear if the bar of fraudulent has been reached. It is also contestable that by placing the monies into an account for the purpose of others that you have retained the ownership of the monies. Due to the act of Theft being a crime against the state , it would be the state prosecuting and yourself acting as a witness only. I fail to understand how in such circumstances an out of court settlement is possible. One further thought what stipulations was placed on the use of the monies. I know you stated it was to be used in case of your death to attend the funeral . However what was the intention if your children decided not to come for the funeral.

The question of the accounts legal owner needs to be known. Stating was not given permission is fudging the answer. If your ex does not have any legal ownership of the account , how was it possible to transfer the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't read that because it isn't in the OP. The "death account" has nothing to do with the company, it was for his kids to come to Thailand when he died. The company was being liquidated.

The op refers to having to tell her about the money by that it has to be assumed that he gave her access so that she could withdraw the money to give to the children. He mentions her being a secretary of the company in answer to why she would have access to codes etc. This is of absolutely no relevance to the private account so i don't know why he stated that fact. For that i apologise. Cleaopatra2 has explained it well, as ownership has to be determined. Having access to pins/ codes does not give you ownership. This has been a fundamental point in many cases where dementia was involved and others having access without power of attorney (UK Law). Under the circumstances the op relates to it is theft/fraud whatever you wish to call it. Many people in the past have used the excuse that they did not steal the money as they intended to replace it at a later date (in other words borrowed the money). That is why ownership has to be determined but ultimately the money in this case, will need to be replaced even without a conviction. ???? . 3 hours ago, FritsSikkink said: So it wasn't a company fund.
