Porked & busted: Thai woman nabbed for telling ‘pork’ pies 208 times

The butcher or his accountant obviously didn't reconcile his bank statement with his sales records - a fundamental accounting practice. 

 

Dollars to a pork chop he's also probably paid tax on the missing revenue.

 

As an aside, do non-Brits/Aussies/Kiwis understand what a porkie is? :coffee1:

Unfortunately, the butcher is unlikely to see the money that he is owed.

So much for banking apps.

Why "So much for banking apps"?  If the butcher took 10 seconds and checked his app he wouldn't be out of pocket.   The situation in the OP cannot be blamed on banking apps, the banking app didn't confirm payment, he relied on the woman's LINE app.

Although I am not a supporter of using a banking app on a phone, in this case the 'app' was clearly not the problem. However, it has nothing to do with Line either - the problem is the banking system in Thailand. I have bought some things online in Thailand and the seller wanted me to send them a copy of the 'bank transaction' - which I did. When I asked later why he needed the copy to be sent, he said that some banks take a few days to transfer the money into his account - and he just does not have the time to check his incoming transactions to see if it has arrived yet. Transfers within a bank are usually done very quickly, but some inter-bank transactions take a long time.

Wannipa was arrested and initially agreed to repay the butcher, leading to her release on bail. However, she failed to return the money and relocated in an attempt to evade arrest. The case was then transferred to CIB officers, resulting in her arrest yesterday.

Needs to be trotted off to the cells as she clearly cannot be trusted.

what does that have to do with a banking app? It's just stupidity on the part of the butcher

you see opportunities for these low-life all the time.. waiting in line as someone pays electronically (QR Code), the assistant is busy..the buyer just shows her a screen with a payment made and assistant says ok..it could be a screen capture from a past purchase!

Fair enough, no bail until it is repaid

Eating some animals is disgusting....but I am even less keen on eating insects. I ate a fried locust once, about what you would think, pretty bland and awful. I also ate a rat, which was totally ok, nice actually.

I really don't see a youngish girl her age being able to pay 1.6 million to anybody.  Feel bad for her actually.

Is it not great to be old fashioned and just use cash for transactions.

 

Unfortunately, in the very near future, using cash will be practically impossible as Thailand races to be the first country with all online monetary transactions.

eating plants is useless and dangerous   void of essential nutrients and full of useless fiber that the body DOES NOT NEED

What are the natural toxins in vegetables?
Common examples of natural toxins in food plants include lectins in beans such as green beans, red kidney beans and white kidney beans; cyanogenic glycosides in bitter apricot seed, bamboo shoots, cassava, and flaxseeds; glycoalkaloids in potatoes; 4'-methoxypyridoxine in ginkgo seeds; colchicine in fresh lily flowers

not to mention the pesticides

 

You do realize that any bean or seed is technically the "offspring" of a plant and like all good parents we want to protext our offspring..  and since they can't run, or bite , or fight,   hence the poisonous chemicals
