Bangkok police arrested a 41-year-old French national for allegedly swindling two million baht in a fraudulent brand-name product investment.

 

The suspect, Mr. Jacouel Clemen, was nabbed in the Aspira Ten Ekamai Suites hotel in the Khlong Tan Nuea subdistrict of Wattana district today, December 5th. Clemen was wanted on arrest warrant No. 196/2022 issued on December 2nd, 2022 for fraud charges.

 

The suspect befriended the unidentified victim and allegedly lied to them that he could import luxurious brand-name products such as purses, perfume, and shoes from France to Thailand for sale, said Bangkok police. After investing two million baht with him, the unnamed victim, however, never received the items while the suspect disappeared.

"Singular they, along with its inflected or derivative forms, them, their, theirs and themselves (or themself), is an epicene (gender-neutral) third-person pronoun. It typically occurs with an unspecified antecedent, in sentences such as:

 

"Somebody left their umbrella in the office. Could you please let them know where they can get it?"

"The patient should be told at the outset how much they will be required to pay."

"But a journalist should not be forced to reveal their sources."

Yeah, that was very important. To me, his name is Low Life Weasel, and I can clearly see they misspelled that totally.

What everyone needs to know is that in Thailand when a foreigner is involved is that it is not swindling, only good business. However, when it is a Thai involved then it's swindling or a scam.

I remember when I would think like that but never ever pick someone up for grammar unless in the classroom and being paid. I'm sure you understood what was ment and got the gist of it. His remark was quite valid when just chatting and not marking exams. I read the article and first thought two people.
