That's what I did, I kept the box of 8m THB a secret. 

OMG I can't believe I just told everyone 🙄

Cash incentives to pave the way, untraceable ?

We keep hoping to hit 6 million on the lottery. Pay off the house, both cars are over 20 years old … ah, well. In the meantime head continues above water bearing any heavy surf …

I see, vote buying...

He’s lying. It’s my money and was put in the plastic box pending a Lazada delivery 😂

What is that smell? Can’t quite put my finger on it.

Sometimes thais are just too honest

 

Probably a drop point. She got in the middle of it. Oops

Wait, I need to reread his statement because there may be a typo in the article.

 

“.....adding that he intended to enter politics, which is why he stored the cash at home instead of in a bank.”

 

One more time

 

“.....adding that he intended to enter politics”

🤔🤔🤔

That is a lot of brown envelope fodder

Mystery of B12M Cash Near Nonthaburi Condo Bin Unfolds

A whopping 12 million baht has been discovered in an unexpected place – near a condo bin in Nonthaburi. The cash, encased in a plastic box, was found by a resident on Friday evening, prompting immediate police investigation.

 

A lawyer associated with the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) has since stepped forward, claiming the money as his own and asserting its legal origins.

 

The man, identified as Taweewat Sengkaew, reported to the authorities that the stash was mistakenly discarded amid a clean-up after a burst water pipe damaged his fifth-floor condo unit.

 

Mr Taweewat, who was under scrutiny for over three hours, claimed ignorance of the money’s presence in the discarded box, believing it contained only unwanted clothes.

 

The condo management has corroborated the incident of the burst pipe, but the police remain keen on corroborating Mr Taweewat's story. To back his claim, Mr Taweewat has been asked to present bank records confirming that the hefty sum was withdrawn in 2020.

 

He cited his role as a lawyer and advisor to various companies as the source of his wealth, adding that he intended to enter politics, which is why he stored the cash at home instead of in a bank.

 

Mr Taweewat was also candid about his position against any assumptions linking the money to his advisory role within the NBTC, especially with the agency set to auction spectrum bands by the end of June.

 

However, the plot thickens as Mr Taweewat's participation in a National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) sub-committee scrutiny of unusual wealth adds to the case's scrutiny.

 

Meanwhile, the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) has noted the understandable suspicions arising from the situation due to both the extraordinary sum and the peculiar circumstances.

 

The office is actively collaborating with law enforcement to untangle the truth behind the 12 million baht's sudden appearance.

 

In conclusion, the uncovering of the 12 million baht has sparked a domino effect involving multiple agencies to ensure that the origins and declared status of the funds are thoroughly examined.

The person who found it should have removed a fee bundles first as this money will be devided into brown shares
