USAID: The Big Exposure Reveals...
You made the false claim that Congress stipulates how FEMA funds are to be spent. And then you posted a link to an article that did not support the claim, and when you get called on it, you call me stupid and double down on your lie. Your link does not support your claim that Congress stipulates how FEMA funds are to be spent. -

My Thai Tax Office Tax Filing Experience...
On the 18th Sept 2023 an article in the Thai Enquirer was amongst the first to announce these amendments (not rules) to the Thai tax code. That article included following paragraph: 'The program will begin January 1, 2024 and apply only to tax residents in Thailand meaning tourists and short term workers will be exempt. Also exempt will be those who have been taxed in a foreign country that has a standing Double Tax Agreement with Thailand'. I repeated this paragraph many times on this forum but it was consistently brushed aside. Maybe now folks will start to take note. https://www.thaienquirer.com/50744/thai-government-to-tax-all-income-from-abroad-for-tax-residents-starting-2024/ -

Phuket Raid Captures Four Foreign Hackers Behind 560M Baht Scam
Photo via Thai News Agency In a decisive operation, Thai authorities arrested four foreign nationals in Phuket, accused of orchestrating a major malware scam that defrauded over 1,000 victims. This sophisticated cybercrime netted losses exceeding US$16 million, equivalent to approximately 560 million Thai baht. The hackers, wanted in Switzerland, fled to Thailand to evade international arrest warrants. Working closely with Swiss officials, the Royal Thai Police (RTP) launched Operation PHOBOS, a collaborative effort spearheaded by the Immigration Bureau and Provincial Police Region 8, to track and apprehend the suspects. The operation culminated in raids across four Phuket locations, including the Mono Palai Private Pool Villa and Supalai Palm Spring. The hackers were caught red-handed, though local authorities have not yet disclosed their identities. It is assumed they hold Swiss nationality due to their association with Swiss arrest warrants. The modus operandi of these cybercriminals involved deploying ransomware to infect and encrypt victims' data. They then demanded a cryptocurrency ransom in exchange for decrypting the data, threatening to leak sensitive personal information if their demands went unmet. This use of digital currency posed additional challenges to those trying to trace and catch them. Photo via Facebook/ THAI PRESS Globally, the group's malware scam entrapped over a thousand unsuspecting individuals, resulting in combined losses of more than US$16 million (560 million baht). Despite being under scrutiny in Switzerland, the group managed to escape to Thailand, continuing their illicit activities until their capture. A comprehensive search of the suspects’ residences uncovered an array of evidence, including mobile phones, laptops, and various digital wallets linked to the cryptocurrency transactions used in their demands. The legal repercussions for these cybercriminals are severe. Switzerland seeks to extradite them, where they face charges of conspiracy to commit offences against the United States and wire fraud. Their prosecution will likely serve as a cautionary tale against digital crime, demonstrating the rigorous pursuit by international authorities. This significant breakthrough in cyber law enforcement comes on the heels of another high-profile extradition from Thailand. Just weeks earlier, a Chinese national was deported to face charges for defrauding victims via a fraudulent loan application, amounting to 112 million yuan (approximately 520 million baht). Together, these arrests underscore the commitment of Thai authorities to collaborate internationally in the fight against cybercrime, ensuring perpetrators are brought to justice irrespective of geographic boundaries, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-02-11
