snoop1130 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Thai tycoon Prasit Jeawkok was sentenced to 1,155 years in prison today (Monday), after he was found guilty of 321 counts of fraud by the Criminal Court. In practice, however, the most he will serve is 20 years under Thai law. Prasit and two co-defendants were each fined 145 million baht and ordered to pay 321 victims about one billion baht in compensation for the damage caused to them. Six other co-defendants were, however, acquitted due to insufficient evidence. #news Full Story: https://www.thaipbsworld.com/self-proclaimed-philanthropic-tycoon-prasit-jeawkok-sentenced-to-1155-years/ -- © Copyright Thai PBS 2023-07-03 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

This is Thailand, after all, a well-known hub for financial fraud. And there's plenty of reasons it is. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is an influential member of the club, after all.........he'll be released on parole in a few months after a "luxury" stay. That's how it works. They look after their own. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The right thing would be let him pay back + more + a fee + community service...let him clean toilets for 2 month and time counts only if he is on time and the toilets perfect cleaned. And put the real bad guys in jail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
