Those orderly Swiss probably even filed and paid taxes on their thievings

To Russia if at all.

During the course of the investigation, specialists from the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office managed to warn a total of 240 companies from 30 countries about encryption. These included around 55 US, 35 French, 25 Japanese and 18 German companies.

According to Swiss news the 4 arrested persons are said to be Russians.

Apparently of the Jewish persuasion

That "silk road guy", Ross Ulbricht, received a pardon from Trump. The US Government stole his 144,000 BTC , a current market value of around $10 billion.

They didn't steal the BTC, it was confiscated as he made it from illegal and fraudulent activity and ill gotten gains. He was a criminal found guilty in the courts. 

 

kindly refrain from posting lies.

Deport this scum

I think extradite is the word you are looking for rather than deport.

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.

Why not report your suspicions to police?

What are Swiss prisons like? If they’re anything like Sweden, better to have them serve here at the “Hilton”.

 

Agree.

Should be no such thing as Comfortable Punishment.

Criminals feeding on others are meant to suffer.

That's justice.

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

 

Their prison back home, hardly look like Punishment.

I doubt, usually Eastern Eu, Ukrains or Russians

 

In Thailand, hi-tech crimes are often committed by Eastern Europeans.

I have heard of the case of ATM/Debit card skimming by such, over a decade ago.
