That leaves him plenty to continue his war on the government.

Majority decisions, Bt46 BILLION WILL BE SEIZED ALONG WITH INTERESTS.

Now, lets move on to the case of William L. Monson, and hope he can claim the rest of it.

Agreed! :)

Lost TV reception, no radio in the house, but new. Does any one have any links to a radio station that would stream it live in Thai for the other members of the house hold?

as far as I know, interest rates in court cases could be as high as 17% per year

keep em coming Georgie buddy we like what we are seeing and rather insightful by another saying Samak lost the PM due to a cooking show I think this may show a bunch of intellectuals and a good military can cause a coup that truly benefits all in the short (well not quite) and long run. couldn't be better news

I'm tryin to think how i would feel if you said I lost but they allowed me to keep 20 billion baht.

I think I'd be ok with that.

Instant karma's gonna get you. Gonna knock you right on the head...

:D Thanks for being the first on this thread to make me laugh, a momentary blip of enjoyment!

Well we all shine on,

Like the moon and the stars and the sun,

Well we all shine on,

Everyone come on! :)

as far as I know, interest rates in court cases could be as high as 17% per year

Don't tell me it adds up to 76 billions

nah, let him pick up first :)

lets hope :)

"To seize all will be unfair" to Thaksin and Pojaman, Court says.

less than 5 seconds ago via web

Bt15 billion wealth acquired before Thaksin took office is a matter for consideration...

The most crucial point, he won't see much of the remaining money once it was calculated with interest. Probably a ticket or two to come back, lol

aren't there 12 billion open, for paying tax?

46+17PC+17PC>>63

The rest of the money will remain frozen pending calculations of interests, dividens, and settling of claims and all.

The court says Thaksin clearly used his power in the excise tax case and the EXIM bank loan case.

-- The Nation

Used or abused, that is the question.

What is the difference between using the power (when you are in power) and abusing the power??

will he be sentenced to any prison time ?

That will be decided by any criminal cases that might follow on from this one. With the guilty on all counts verdict it's hard to see how he can avoid being prosecuted further.

will he be sentenced to any prison time ?

Not from this case ---

BUT he is now exposed to a minimum of 4 more criminal trials for abuse of power. He's done in Thailand.

Personally I could care less if they seized it all or none - but given the implications of both on the stability of this nation I'm pretty happy with the outcome. Neither side will be truly happy but neither should be angry enough to burn stuff down and kill each other either - maybe we can all just go on with our lives now?

ya right......

Predictable outcome, this was decided long ago. :)

You were singing a very different story yesterday Brit.

Using your power to make an unfair profit is an abuse of power.

Predictable outcome, this was decided long ago. :)

Brit --- you know better than to say that. Particularly after the warnings leading into this thread.

for me as expected, nothing more, nothing less

I would imagine that the other 30 billion will be available to him once he has served the outstanding sentences??

To me the Guilty verdict against him also pertains to his cronies that supported him over this time and these people must be brought to justice immediately before they hit the airport.

court should do what is right or wrong not consider what someone think about it and if someone is angry or happy.
