Long time Danish resident stuck in Thai immigration detention in complicated case

[Thingamabob]

He has bought this upon himself,  through his own dishonesty and through totally failing to learn how things work in Thailand. 

[Negita43]

I'm sure this is not the correct place to post this BUT - since last night's maintenance lock out the "go to the top icon" seems to have disappeared?

Do stupid stuff, win stupid prizes.  Enjoy your stay followed by deportation.

He claims to be a billionaire, you?

[retarius]

Deserves to be in jail....for a long time. Fraud, fraudulently signing partner's signature, not paying VAT or taxes. 

[Chelseafan]

So finally, the Stig has been revealed.

From his photo he's a "Smiling Assassin". An old Scottish friend used to say that Thailand's full of them, and to be wary of them!🙂

There's definitely something evil about his "smile" (smirk would be a better word).

Does not seem complicated at all, he was doing business and not paying taxes and got caught, strike #1. As far as forging the signature another law broken, doesn't matter if the partner agreed to it, strike #2. Then, they say his visa was expired but they don't say when unless I overlooked it so strike #3 an overstayer. Then misses 1st court ordered payment of 200,000 baht, somewhere around $6,000 USD strike #4. This guy has no friends or family to spot him $6K to stay out of prison? I guess with his decision-making abilities they aren't interested.

What a mess. Lessons to be learned: don't do business in Thailand, and if you do - no partners, and pay your damn taxes! Also- kind of a given, but don't overstay your visa... 🤦‍♀️

So he was a Storm Trooper in Star Wars before relocating to Thailand?

 

[Adumbration]

Entirely worthless article in the absence of photos of Stig's wife.

 

[Captain Monday]

I have met many Danes in my career all top guys and none with a name like “Stig Wolf” . Sounds like the moniker of  fluffer on gay porn film set 

 

So, was this mans criminal history overseas checked before he was allowed in the country to marry  some Thai “lady”? A situation that so frequently become a near permanent cover to commit crimes.

 

I don’t thing people come to Thailand and suddenly start committing serious frauds. Maybe he’s innocent. If he DID forge a signature long jail and heavy fines should be levied.

This story is almost paperback worthy

 

Kind of a classic story of foreigners doing business in Thailand

 

One falang partner & his Thai wife screwing over the other falang partner

 

Using a loan shark to borrow against partners share

 

Being on overstay

 

Getting a shady court ruling to be allowed to leave country & "earn" money to repay the falang partner

 

Then grabbed at airport on exit due to overstay

 

Yup this has all the makings of a Stephen Leather Thai Novel 😅

More along the lines of a cheap Stickman gossip expose'. 

[Venom]

The evidence, which Stig has in the meantime provided, shows that the partner was aware and had approved the forgery but this has no consequence because in a Thai appeals court no new evidence may be submitted.

So why is he in the immigration detention center?

 

What does this have to do with immigration?

The entire case is laid out in the article. You didn't see it?

[CharlieB]

Does this friend with a company in Austria exist? If he does and if he owns a company, did he really know how close he came to his business going under at the hands of this managerial genius. A 65 year old able to command a salary in excess of €1 million! Managerial prowess shown by forgetting businesses need to pay tax and VAT, forging partners signatures, borrowing off shady characters and also along the way forgetting to extend his visa. Not the kind of persons I’d want working in my company. Working on the maths, 17 million paid back at 200k baht per month is 85 months, over 7 years. The Thai judge seriously believed this guy was going to work into his mid 70’s and pay money back every month? This whole story doesn’t add up.

Get into top gear, then ask again! 

[arick]

Why did he just give money under the table to the tax office 

[fceligoj]

Sounds like he deserves it all.

[Chris Daley]

He would have paid years of tea money to the cops for their 'routine inspections' and 'fast track' visa options.  But he got caught on a small detail.

[Dogmatix]

If the British partner agreed he could forge his signature, why didn't he sign himself?  Anyway it sounds as if the business was going to go bust anyway. So the British partner would have lost everything. Now he is trying to get 17 million from this couple.

No it sounds like a lot of details are BS. Scanasia articles are usually low quality and probably should waste our time with them on AN.
