Oh dear, Christian! Do you know how awful Bang Kwang Prison is? It's called the "Big Tiger" for a reason. It "eats" criminals alive ... and spits them out after 20-100+ years, if they are lucky.

I wonder if the operation title is down to the 'perps' colour and that most of them are (allegedly) hung like a horse?

When the Boys in Brown hear about a Nigerian crim they don't tend to go out looking for caucasians with little winkies!😁

horse accounts?  do they give good savings ? do they need a thai id card?

 

using expensive words...

 

 google 

 

"Horse account" may refer to a Twitter account or a metaphor for the relationship between a horse and its trainer:

We usually hear about the grandstanding arrests but rarely about their names, charges and their actual court appearance/sentence, seizure of assets, restitution to victims of the criminals.

 

This makes me suspect that many cases are dealt with informally by the transfer of funds to officials before subsequent release, rinse, repeat.

 

Maybe I should start visiting the courts to report on whoever actually appears. Need to improve my Thai, perhaps a local journalist could do their job first.

Wait, that is the prince I sent money to help get out his out from the country.  I'd recognize his pixelated face anywhere!  My reward for my help is delayed now I guess...

In a significant crackdown, Thailand's Department of Special Investigation (DSI) arrested a Nigerian national believed to be a central figure in a major fraud network involving horse accounts across the country, causing damages estimated at over 50 million baht.

Are these bigger than mule accounts?

Various donkey, mule, and ass accounts will no doubt come to light as police race to the finishing line just one "nagging" question remains? what's the odds on anyone getting their cash back 🤔
