ha ha ha. always wondered about about that meself.

I only recognized a few times that a very new user has exactly the same style than a recently banned one.

But of course, surely coincidence

[hammered]

The unmentionable one reporting that Thaksin has told PTP he will accept the verdict whatever it is. Interesting

Back on topic please.

Well, if the court takes his money he'll have to accept it. It is than simply a fact no matter if he want to accept it or not.

So they are also investigating others outside of the family, do I have that right?

Do I get it right?

These people had shares but gave all the dividends of the shares to Pojaman?

That should be a clear proof that they aren't the real owners.

As the verdict is about to be delivered I consider it opportune to post the following quote from the forum rules:

15) ...You also agree not to post negative comments criticizing the legal proceedings or judgments of any Thai court of law.

By an unanimous decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the prosecution against former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatrat is unclear on the extent of unusual wealth and how it is linked to abuse of office.

Perhaps it was a legitimate mistake!

For those few expecting/hoping the baht will collapse, think again, this is from Reuters:

"Political uncertainty has subdued Thailand's benchmark index in recent weeks, with many traders waiting to see what the ruling will bring. But foreign investors were net buyers for three straight days this week, drawn to bargains in Thailand where stocks are trading at just 10.6 (typo?)times forecast 2011 earnings, Asia's cheapest after Pakistan, Thomson Reuters data shows."

Expect the baht to get steadily stronger over this year. Good for those who work here and want a trip abroad but some of you English might have to go back to work!

This a strange ruling. How can a Thai court make any ruling regarding a brokerage account in another country? They should have stated the suspected that he was the only one.

[george]

Update:

Now, did the excise tax benefit Shin Corp? The court's addressing the issue, after declaring Thaksin,Pojaman were always in control of Shin.

Court rules that real owners of all the shares was Thaksin and Potjaman and not Thaksin's children, his sister, or his brother-in-law.
