Thai billionaire’s fortune plummets: Freelance girlfriend accused of fraud, theft

[steven100]

I'll bet london to a brick-on that all her family have new houses and cars.  That's likely where the money went. 

[Gaccha]

"he does not care after she robbed him. Initially a billionaire, he now has less than 10 million baht left"

 

It's not robbery if you gift someone your money whilst wearing your love goggles.

 

There isn't much sign of fraud here except she said she was living with her parents. And that's about it. I don't think his case has a chance unless there's some strange quirk in the Thai law.

 

Interesting to see how this one progresses... But she certainly has enough money to defend her case....

[anterian]

He is clearly too stupid to have earned his money ,he must have inherited it.

What I meant is that there was no link to the original article on The Thaiger.

I can.
Show me the link to the original article on Khaosod. Pedant. It should have been clear that I was referring to The Thaiger not providing a link to the story on Khaosod. Apologies for neglecting to spoon feed you.

why would any sane person choose a freelance prostitute?

She was different. 

[Adumbration]

Entirely worthless thread in the absence of photos of the young lady.

[chickenslegs]

Agreed. But she was not so young - 29yo when they met.

[redwood1]

If he was a billionair which is 1000 million and now he only has 10 million.That means she extracted 990 million from him...lol

 

I say she deserves a bonus for her hard work...

 

I think about 10 more million is deserved for a job well done... 

[tomacht8]

Hard to believe this story. She milks him from 1000 million down to 10 million in 18 years. And he only now realizes that 99% of his money is gone? Nobody can be that stupid.

how do billionaires manage their money without a bunch of vultures constantly stealing from them? 

 

I remember reading that you don't pay a prostitute for sex. You pay them to go away afterwards and this seems to be what he wanted.

[rwill]

Here's how stupid he is, quote from the original article.  "Realising that his wealth was depleted, he decided to open a medical equipment distribution company for her to manage, with his children’s help."

 

How did he get his wealth to start with?  Doesn't seem it was by making smart decisions.

[AdamRich]

Even billionaires don't pay barfines.

[Bim Smith]

And I bet he didn't even see it coming. That's what you get for being a nonse. 18 or not she is way too young but sounds like a smart girl. Karma baby

[TheFishman1]

Just curious before he retired was he a politician or a cop?  TIT

[jippytum]

I wonder how anyone so dumb could end up being a billionaire? 

[Gknrd]

Had to be inherited money, hard to believe anyone that had to work to make that money would be stupid enough to let her take it..

A 70 year old Thai billionaire accused his freelance prostitute girlfriend of 18 years of fraud and stealing from him after his wealth dwindled from billions to just under 10 million baht. The accusation by the man alleges that his 45 year old female partner tricked him into selling his luxury car and property.

 

The Thai billionaire reported the case to the police, hoping to reclaim his assets and stating that he was not afraid of any potential criticism.

 

The man, who first met the woman through a mutual friend, was aware of her work as a freelance prostitute. Initially impressed, he asked her to cease her profession and began to provide for her.

 

The Thai billionaire bought her a brand-new red BMW and gave her a monthly allowance of 50,000 to 100,000 baht. Throughout their relationship, they never visited her home, instead, they met at malls or hotels.

 

He also purchased an Audi PT Sport and a Mercedes-Benz for the woman and her father, respectively. Three months into their relationship, the woman claimed her father was sick and needed around 300,000 baht for surgery. The man provided the money for the operation and continued to buy her expensive goods and brand-name items.

My math is not that good..  but I think she has left him 1% of his fortune going from 1,000,000,000 to 10,000,000?

 

If she was a real bad person, she would have taken the lot

So it's not just green-horns.

Wonderful lesson that they can lead the locals around too by their ..... shall we say...libido! Normally Thai men do not have the assets to be targets... and foreigners are popular sponsors, mostly because they spend a lot of time elsewhere. 

'More money that sense' fits!

How the hell do you "lose" a billion THB?

You could give a billion to me , I would be happy to show you ...

[d4dang]

not that unusual. Years ago there was a massage parlor girl who had friends who were big Army, Police and a Prime Minister. She drove a yellow Ferrari. Her sponsors never complained. She used to do short times near Robinsons Ratchada.

Are we expected to feel sympathy for this fool? It sounds like he started spending stupid amounts of money very early on. That was dumb. A man must take his time and get to know her first. 

 

Darwin was right. The theory of natural selection, means we all have to exhibit certain survival skills, to thrive in this world. Self protection is just one of those skills. Some have it, some do not. Those who do not are prey for the darker spirits who live like vampires, feeding on the misfortune of others. 

 

[ChaiyaTH]

Ehh right, so he bought 1 million dollars on cars and gifts luxuries. So where is the rest then?

I feel sympathy for people who lack the brains, to have empty, to understand the possibility of alzheimer too. Imagine how much sympathy I must have, living here.

 

Oh and wait, let me guess, it would not been said if he was worth only 500K from the start.
