allegedly tricking 14 Australians into investing in fake bonds, costing victims an estimated 40 billion baht.

What kind of hack journalism is this.  I think someone doesn't understand proper decimal placement.

40 billion baht divided by 14 means that each one averaged EIGHTY-SIX MILLION, NINE HUNDRED SEVENTY-SIX MILLION US dollars per trade.

Anyone with that much liquid capital to invest wouldn't be taking random phone calls, and would have an army of lawyers, accountants, and advisors to handle their money.

Hang on, all of us are not that stupid, actually I did not know any of us were that stupid (do not mention the Thai ladies' charms). Any way the AFP are on the job and caught these that have been operating for 2 decades according to the report.

Firstly, I never mentioned, "(do not mention the Thai ladies' charms)."

Secondly, What has the AFP, being the Australian Federal police in the actual bust. It was the Thai police who did that ?

 

Anyway whatever your smoking or drinking. Thanks for the offer but no thanks.🤪

Right.I really hate this kind of people.They ruined lifes to many.People loose their money and homes.Families with small kids also.This kind of scammers is the worst s...that excist on the earth.They should be given to the people on the streets and face the same as Gadaffi and Saddam Hussein.

 

In modern 1st world, jail conditions are often increasingly comfortable.

The society is getting sickly pro-criminal.Human rights fundamentalism(over emphasis of perpetrators' well-being), the common sick sociology among the west.

Pampering cunning, and dangerous criminals in the name of "education".

Disgusting.
