It is likely a police chief here makes hundreds of millions a year, since the entire thing is a pyramid scheme. And does anyone think Big Joke or the current chief are not taking in hundreds of millions? How about the so called leaders? Ferrari Joe. ????

thailand49 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 That is what happens when you bring attention to yourself, he should have stayed as Pure, once he started calling himself Big? Some reason in Thailand they use these names like Big to when they are really small same as Champ opposite of loser? But it hasnt hurt so far Big Joke, or the other Big who is now heading of Immigration? ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Tongue Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I'd be more impressed if the courts stated what his total worth was, and whether he has any other children -or wives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why has he been 'stripped' after retirement - the list of his 'events' goes back decades, why wasn't he stripped decades back? Any mention of criminal charges? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I should die Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Why pick on him, he was just a successful example of the primary Thai character trait - selfishness. Corruption, both asking for and also paying bribes, ignoring traffic and building laws, all omni-pervasive demonstrations of selfishness. There are (perhaps) a few exceptions - but almost universally from top to bottom whether from greed or social pressure selfishness is the order of the day.

kcpattaya Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 As if nobody knew that Somchai was corrupt... But, the boys in brown all wear the same uniform, so they have sworn never to rat on each other, so everyone can "benefit". More interesting would be to start from the top-down. But, that will NEVER happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
