So they slap him with bogus charges. An invalidated passport.... how could he know? Did they phone him?

He must be the ideal son in law for Thai people. They love a good conman they even ask them to become politicians.

[Tony121]

Yeah totally agree with you Mythbuster another example of Thailand doing wrong again and its all the politicians fault. maybe PAD and the thai elite requested his arrest.

(Yes I am being sarcastic)

[KKvampire]

If he's a crook and swindled people out millions of Baht throw the book at him and in bkk hilton jail,

Not much sense talking about crooked officials here when a falang criminal gets caught.

[sharecropper]

Disgusting scum. They should bulldoze Bangkok and clean it up starting from from scratch.

All these scummy low level Farang scammers hiding out there. They make me sick.

They should all be kicked out!

Oh, sorry. I thought we were talking about Pattaya again.

[TAWP]

He is of Danish blood, but not that is matters.

The companies he has been involved in has in many cases been small, has their F-tax (company) license revoked or filed for Chapter 11 etc. He might have been a goalie for someone else too.

may be really low to do that, but to stand back and say "bangkok hilton", thats a bit extreme. would you still say that if it was your family member? bad idea to wish serious misfortune on others to that extreme (could come back around to haunt you!)

[jdinasia]

Seems as if all he did in Thailand is an immigration violation, so no time here. They will just pack him into a plane and ship him back to Sweden. No extradition required even (I think).

[tonglen]

On the bright side, the police have now averaged some nice sized arrests several days in a row. Not that this case was in Pattaya, but who cares. At least another one goes off to the pokey. I think Thailand should fight extradition and send him to Bang Kwang. Cant think of another place more fitting. Rotten rice for carbs, mold for veggies and rats for protein.

He fled the country when released from 'temporary detention'.

Probably entered Thailand before they received notification of his cancelled passport.

Hardly bogus charges.

[krading]

Besides, he looks like Charlie's loser brother on '2 and a half men'.

He deserves to be locked up.

there is way more higher level scum in south america, I think people over-estimate how much scum is in Thailand compared to other places around the world.

That's a good point. In general, it's far too easy for people to say negative things about Thailand. Usually non-thinking, closed minded and ignorant people who believe everything the newtainment shows pump into them seem to toe this line. IMO.

No offense meant towards anyone here but those who think Thailand is nothing more than cheap thrills, mai pen rai.

I think that Thailand should just sentence people like this to the death penalty.

Do you know, you're right! It isn't just low level foreigner scum in Bangkok. It's massive ones as well. And not just this guy. Remember the Yakuza boss recently arrested there. Victor Bout the international arms dealer, the gun runners from the plane, you name it.

And even yesterday the thread about the S.419 scammers operating out of Bangkok in General Topics.

It all makes me wonder what Bangkok is coming to with its foreigner population. I remember when it was a nice, safe, family destination. It's even got massage parlours and girlie bars now.

You know, I'm never leaving Pattaya from now on. It's much safer than Bangkok, especially with our high-tech SWAT team running around.

I remember Pattaya iin 1973 when there were about 20 felangs there, maybe two hotels and bungalows on the beach, before the garbage washed ashore.
