As you folks may know, it is equally often that the Thai wife steals everything from the gullible and trusting husband, google Ian Rance to get the story of one guy. He fought back with lawsuits and got himself into quicksand, yet he ultimately prevailed with an excellent Thai law firm (maybe a few brown envelopes) But he went through emotional heII, with his passport confiscated etc. Fortunately she didn't take everything and had the money to pursue this through Thai courts. 

BBC did a story on it too. I think the first lawyer ripped him off too though, right?

Whoever the alleged buyer was, was also being deceived. He wouldn't have been able to sell the land without the authorisation of the company directors. All of them. And the company secretary.

 

Happens all the time in many Thai companies without unanimous authorisation. Signatures are often fakes, as we see in this article.

 

I have faced a similar situation for a company I used to work for, where two of the directors stole all the company assets including the foreign owner's houses, condos, and land owned in company name.

 

Problem is, the foreigner was a w⚓️ and deserved it. 😉

Where was it reported that B20m was put up originally?   He sold the assets for B20m.

There was no report on that point. Reread my original comment. Just saying it would be interesting to know that particular missing detail. They (someone - e.g., husband and/or wife) would have had to acquire the asset (land in this case) before anyone (the husband in this case) could have same sold it. That's how assets sales works. Unless you are selling something you don't own, but that's a different kind of fraud, and not the point of the article.
