The Supreme Court today upheld the ruling of the lower courts, confirming the sentencing of a 57-year-old woman to 12 years in prison after she was found guilty of stealing Bt24 million from her ailing mother.

 

Huay Srivirat, 86, told the court that her daughter, Mawadee, withdrew money from her bank accounts numerous times without her consent and while she was in a hospital for coronary artery disease in 2017.

 

The amount withdrawn from Huay’s accounts totalled Bt24 million.

Serves the silly biatch right.  If she had the sense to wait a few years then she may have received a nice inheritance. 

 

Now she will get diddly squat. Where's the money she stole gone? 

 

So in reality same outcome? 

 

Probably a gambler full of greed that wanted more. 

 

Loser.

Wouldn't say that too fast, I dated quite a few thai chinese girls of which the mothers had all kinds of other ideas if it came to the money on their old days / when passing away. To start with stuff like making huge donations to temples and the like. Anyway, serves her right to be in prison for this regardless.

Wow...drug dealers and murderers have got out with far less and sometimes with no jail time. Guess they want to get back at the rich maybe ? But what about all those fine young ladies of 30 years old who scam the guilable falang retiree boyfriend-sponsor ?

Usually it is the amount of money that increases the sentence drastically, in many countries.

They deserve it for being so gullible. 

 

At then end of the day,  if you're white and male you are going to pay.  Married or short time, it still costs you in the end.

It's the repeated offence that caused the court to punish her so harshly and the fact that knowingly, she committed

the offence time and time again knowing it was wrong to do so..

Always the same. You can take a country, impoverish and/or slay thousands, just don’t steal esp from banks or the wrong people. No time for thieves either though, so good enough.

Actually it's per incident, 2 years for fraud, so 6 times, or 12 times, if she pleaded guilty, and got half sentence.

 

Murderers get 8 yrs usually, (half of 16) if they confess & plead guilty, no matter how heinous the crime is.

If that is her in the picture, some went on a nice hair-do!

Best part about short time is the pre-agreement that that they will leave when its over.

How long did the bank staff get for collaboration?

She may find life a little less appealing inside with no money.

How much may also be a consideration
