Wanted American Arrested in Phuket for Illegal Business Operations

[Young Hick]

I just read he is owner of "entertainment" business.  For that to be reported and police to arrest him suggests what kind of entertainment he's into.  Yup, that is a protected sector for Thais only.

Prosecution of lawyers (if that's what you mean by "proxies") setting up such companies has been reported when similar raids have been made in the past

I was thinking more of the Thai 'friend' who stands in as the owner of the company with controlling influence.

Wouldn't be the first time, certainly not the last.
