Crime American Arrested in Pattaya for Attempting to Exchange Fake US Dollars

[No Forwarding Address]

Oh Please but him in a Thai Prison until he dies, don’t deport him, we have enough idiots in USA as it is……..Peace

[newnative]

Good riddance to Mr. Stocky.  Thai prison should slim him down--and then back to the US for more jail time.

No, I do not think so. Old Biden is currently receiving medical care for his dementia and cancer.

Actually, If it’s the money that I’m thinking about, then it would meet the Federal Statues in terms of producing faux notes.. be that size, color, single-v-double sided printing etc.  You can make “fake” notes,  but there’s several restrictions that you have to meet in order for it to be legally produced.

 

Referencing to the apparent attempted use goes..  I’m not sure if the federal law related to attempted use is or can be applied extra-territorially like some other federal laws.  That one might be purely the domain of Thai law.

Yeah, normally it would be like that. I don´t know really as the bills were marked "For Motion Picture Use Only". 🤣

It´s soo idiotic, that it´s hard to know what to say.

I suspect they were meant to be used in the shooting of Hollywood movies, you know those scenes were the criminals brake into a safe or something similar.

Maybe Mr. Stookey will try and use Monopoly notes to pay bail and grease a few paws

[RT555]

Who's the big nosed Brit with him?

[cdemundo]

"Mr. Stookey presented the fake notes to the exchange booth staff, who detected the counterfeit currency and refused the transaction. Despite being denied, Mr. Stookey insisted on the exchange, displaying dissatisfaction, prompting staff to alert the police."

 

Huh?

Had a second chance and blew it.

[Brick Top]

Almost as bad as the English guy who tried to exchange these £50 notes in Phuket at the bank

Welcome to Thailand, enjoy your extended stay.

Bet on it. America is very touchy about counterfeiting.

I don't think Americans dare to put this on outside the USA !

The ridicule !!

[Jack Hammer]

The American guy maybe dyslexic, thus not knowing the $100 notes had "For Motion Picture Use Only" written on them.   He also might of had the mindset that everyone outside of America is stupid and they would not notice.   Looking at his gut he has too many large meals at McDonalds

He has managed to screw uo, not only his own life, but that of his Thai wife as well, all for 6 or 7,000 THB.

 

If you are going to do it, at least make it for millions of baht. Also have a good plan B, just in case plan A falls into rat sh*t.

Try adding approximately another 63,000 THB to your estimate. Were you the ringleader of this poor attempt by  Mr. Stookey to exchange US fake currency. Or was it a typo by you which sometimes I do after a few drinks. 🙂

The guy is 66, in Pattaya, and has likely forgotten about the good 'ol internets and advancements in technology.   He's going back to the days of old.    Brah, this is Thailand.  Pattaya, Thailand.  They drink out of coconuts and have coconuts if you are into that thing.   I'll go there, give them monopoly money and, I do speak Thai, will say, "Hellllooooooooooooooooooo   myyyyyyyyyyyyyyy naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame isss......................."  See, my Thai is very good.   Hey, buy a few more monopoly sets!!!  I'll get a penthouse condo and drinks will be 5 cents each.    Man, this will be an adventure!!!

 

The fact that this clown lost his cool, wanted police involved, and ended up arrested and shamed......well, that's the Pattaya Experience.
