[Zack61]

Off with their heads. Scum

[norsurin]

Deatgcentence to all of there scumbags.I hope they arrest more of this <deleted> people.

 

[gravity101]

Scum. Seems they thought Thailand was an easy country to continue operations. Well done Thai police. More of the same please, there are many.

 

My next door neighbours seem up to no good also, can't believe no one has come knocking. 10 odd males with a lot of computer equipment, a fair few bob in cars, awake 24/7.. tourists they are not, a company they are not. If they are digital nomads, that description needs refining, they don't look like your average horticulturalists.

Did it say the nationality of these perps, it mentioned they were wanted in Switzerland, are they Swiss?

Outta with them. Ban them from entering again

Too light. Keep them in  Thai jail for a year or so before deporting them. No bail. Flight risk, duh.

Thailand has long become a safe heaven for fugitives and criminals from all over the world. 

Stricter visa policy is required, especially for nationals of several countries including but not limited to Switzerland, Poland, Lithuania, Romania, Nigeria, Ghana, United States, Ukraine, Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Korea, Moldova and some other countries.

 

Visa Free scheme should be abolished for those countries. A proper entry visa should be obtained in the country of citizenship prior to entering Thailand, including criminal record check and possibly, a mental health check up.

 

 

I can see the point of stricter visa rules for several of the countries that you list, but why Switzerland?

Lock them up in any of Thailand's notoriously nasty prisons. Deportation is too easy.

5 years would be a good " vacation" time for them for violating Thai laws.

THEN

Deport to the Swiss, let them take care of the rest.

So the Switzerland put out an international warrant and probably with all Swiss help they didn’t give the information to the type police that follow up and arrest them that’s amazing cause I thought the title had an international warrant for the Red Bull kid but nobody knows where he is international war for the Prime Minister‘s sister TIT

Are you feeling ok?

Can you imagine how the thousands of lives they have destroyed who would gladly pull the lever. Maybe should be public trial in Saudi Arabia ..and stone  them!!

2 cents on the nationality of the culprits: there's a picture in the news with them sitting on the couch and police officers demonstrating something on their PC-connected TV, maybe an evidence of how malware reveals itself, maybe just a splash screen. This screen is clearly in Russian, with the capitalized word "WARNING" (or literally "ATTENTION") on top. See no reason for this other than they are Russian (maybe holding a temporary Swiss residency).

Lesson: don't get greedy. Make a few mil and disappear.

Most criminals love Crypto, they keep their crypto wallet locked until they are released.

If this is true then they should be locked up in Thailands worse jail, I suspect it wouldn't be long before they're reconsidering they're lifestyle path that lead then there and working on plea bargains.

Scum like this should be locked up for the rest of their lives in a Thai prison,, let's find the worse one they have. 

 

If the US wants them for wire fraud they could have a very long and unhappy future ahead of them in some very unpleasant places with some very unpleasant people.

If they have any sense they will start praising Trump.

DTS? Nope. Trump just pardoned Ross Ulbricht one of the world's largest illegal drug dealers with US$200M in sales worldwide including solicitations of murderers. Yes, plural. 

Ross Ulbricht, aka “Dread Pirate Roberts,” was sentenced in US federal court to life in prison in connection with his operation and ownership of Silk Road, a website designed to enable its users to buy and sell illegal drugs and other unlawful goods and services including contract murders anonymously and beyond the reach of law enforcement between January 2011 and October 2013.

Ulbricht was found guilty of seven charges he faced. 

“Make no mistake: Ulbricht was a drug dealer and criminal profiteer who exploited people’s addictions and contributed to the deaths of at least six young people,” said US District Prosecutor Bharara. “Ulbricht went from hiding his cybercrime identity to becoming the face of cybercrime and as today’s sentence proves, no one is above the law.” Except Donald Trump.
