TeddyFlyfisherDavis Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 He should have gone to Brazil and married a local girl a la Ronnie Biggs. That's a good plan. Thailand isn't a good place to hide, they'll deport you fast once they realize you are wanted. And if someone is actively looking for you, it is hard to hide since you are such a tiny ethnic minority. You need to move to a place where they won't send you back. Cambodia...

crazykopite Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Wonder if it was US DEA or Marshals that did the job? Sizeable headcount for the DEA in Thailand. What's sad about this guy is that whilst on the run he met and married an American woman and they live(d) in Chiang Mai with their 12-year-old son. Sadly, its the kid that suffers in the end. Apparently she didn't know about her husband's background. So 2 foreirners with a kid living in Thailand, were they working???...........where were they getting money from?..probably from his shady past if it wasnt from still dealing now.....no sympathy for drug dealers whatsoever and yes it is the kid that suffers. Myself and wife are two farangs living in Thailand for over 6 years does that mean we should be tarred with the same paint brush !! I hope not !!!

elwood Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Probably his money ran out after 20 years, no more protection being paid, just a guess. Probably a pretty useless guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friendphil Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Considering all the unsolved crimes that we read about here (aka "suicides" and other mysteries) it is amazing that they nab somebody like this. Amazing Miracle Mystery Thailand, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotary Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 As normal I suggest a good long stay in the Bkk Hilton for guys like this but in this case looks like he has been a good boy for 20 years plus. I think forget about it and leave him alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smedly Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Good job. I always feel a bit of pitty though for guys like this who have been able to keep their head under the radar (police) for so long. I want to believe they turned their life around in that time I suspect this guy was either still up to no good or made a heck of a lot in the drug trade back in the day he was still living off of. He's hardly under the radar if he has a retirement Visa ???? under the radar to me means no visa and long overstay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think forget about it and leave him alone. Would imagine he would be deported back to the states to face charges there. Not sure if he has actually broken any laws in Thailand; understand he was arrested while applying for a retirement visa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMA_FARANG Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 So are there some of you still think the Thai immigration records are NOW (at least) still not tied in to a worldwide database of wanted fugitives? That's what he thought. He was wrong, wasn't he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HereIAm Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 For the sarcastic farangs the Thai police is damned if they catch him, damned if they don't. Spare a thought to how he escaped in the first place from a California prison 3 years after his arrest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
