Thailand's Economic Crime Division police under the command of Pol Maj-Gen Phuthidech Bunkrapheu enacted a search warrant on business premises in Soi Sakaengam 39/2 in Bang Khun Thian, south western Bangkok yesterday.

 

Leading the raid was Pol Col Pattanapong Sripinphroh who said they were acting on a complaint about the sale of pirated, sub-standard goods online.

 

Manager reported that the police arrested a Chinese man called Ma S.R. for having pirated goods in his possession with intent to sell and also having no work permit.

 

He admitted the goods were his but blamed his wife for importing them.

 

There were hundreds of pairs of shoes and shirts with Gucci and Fila labels (as reported in other media) and eight thousand more impersonating the Off-White brand.

 

In total the haul was worth 16 million baht.

"wife".. hardly, probably just a shame marriage to a lackey Thai person so he can operate in a quasi legal manners and blame the "wife" when things go sideways...

[RafPinto]

Fake story.

 

"Hundreds of pairs of shoes"

 

Let's say, 50Baht per pair (chinese rubbish).

16 Million Baht/50= 320,000 pair of shoes

I reckon his mistake was selling them online, and hinting that they might be real brands. This stuff is sold at the night markets all the time with no issues. Yet he was prob driven online with most of those now being shut.

 

You know, I once paid 1000 baht for an Adidas bag at Central. I figured it'd be better quality and last me a long time. Not really. The paint's been flaking off, the threads are coming loose. It's made in China, Vietnam, etc. right next to the "real" stuff. I might've done better to pick up a night market one. Same same but different.
