FarAway Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 12 hours ago, Jonathan Swift said: And your home country is perfect? Has nothing of the sort? There are 2 truths to this: Yes, in any country there is corruption. In developed countries it is just not out in the open but hidden behind curtains and just for the big fishes. Go to the USA or Middle Europe and look what is going on with the big big people there. There it is about billions of EUR/USD. While in developing countries, as Thailand is one, it is just open and for everyone to see. Not that different in Eastern Europe for example. The other truth is: Almost everyone of the people on the forum would happily accept 3.000.000 THB cash in an envelope. If this forum is a 1:1 mirror on the average Expat I see in Thailand, I think most of them would do it even for way less. People are just mad that they do not have these amounts of money and are not in the position to ever do something like that, accepting 100k USD in an envelope for extortion/bribing, neither here or in their home country. I am honest, in his position in Thailand I would have tried the same. It was just not a smart time to do it as a middle-sized fish as he is, with all the crackdowns being done on the middle-sized fishes to ensure the public that Thailand is starting to get corruption-less, while obviously the big fishes will stay untouched forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if we are being asked to believe ChaCha and the cops are sincere about fighting corruption. 8 years too late. You had ample time to demonstrate an interest in cleaning the place up. We all know who and what you are. Yeah. I have posted numerous times on the other articles. All of these corruption crackdown propaganda stories will come to an abrubt halt as soon as the election results are in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandpa Cool Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 No mention of any further investigation into this guy's accumulated, unexplained wealth. I doubt that this is a one off occurrence. No doubt in my mind that it will be part of a long standing way of life, associated with other "colleagues". ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably won't even lose his job. I like the way the Chinese deal with official corruption......death sentence and maybe reuse of organs to pay society back for his filthy corruption and useless life. Only in Thailand could anyone offer such an explanation and expect to get away with corruption amounting to $100000. It is taking the pi$$. "Borrowed" watches belonging to dead friends?
