This morning my BIL was released from prison after serving 5 years and a few months of a 29 year sentence.

Cost : 3 million baht.

Glad to have him home.

This was after he received a Kings pardon 1.5 yrs ago. ( the greasing of the palm continued until we hit on the right amount )

The good news of all of this mess...the woman who filed the charges is dead.

My BIL outlived her.

Good news??? Depends....

- what was the crime he was put away for?

- was he guilty beyond reasonable doubt?

Depending on above... might not really be good news to have another crook out on the streets...

Short version-

Chemist, made several forumlas for making lab glass. Excelled and make lots of dosh for his company.

A business woman approached with an offer to go into business together.

Lasted 2 years.

BIL wanted to go out on his own, informed her and agreed to provide a formula for her to which he did. He went back into business by himself & with my SIL, his wife. ( My wife's younger sister)

Very profitable lab. Very. Sold to all the university's and vocational schools that had a lab.

She was not happy, informed him that she would use her influence to have him incarcerated if he would not return to a partnership w/ her. He said no. She did.

Dragged on in court for a few years...

Move forward here...I'm leaving allot of the court crap out.. my uncle, who at the time was the number 2 guy in the Office of the Narcotics Control Board, Thai version of the US DEA, and a Thai lawyer made some inquiries and found that the judge and his attorney had been paid off and for him not to go to court..

He did.

Sentence was 29 years on like 5 counts of theft, yes..theft. ( not intellectual property rights, but "property theft".

Bang Kwang Central Prison is where he spent the majority of his time and was just moved up to Kabinburi Prison where my cousin is a supervisor.

My family over the past 3 years have met with Govt lawyers ( uncle connections ) and Army higher-ups and have been greasing the palms of everyone of 'em.

I'm not going to mention any names on here for obvious reasons.

He received a Kings Pardon late in '11 and they stalled and stalled and then said he was found to be in possession of a cell phone, to which he was. Guilty.

A few more conversations with some folk, grease the palm...

Last night my SIL was called and informed he would be released this morning. He was and is on parole.

Happy to have him out of this mess, at least so far...

As far as him being a criminal, crook, what ever you want to throw out there.. no, he wasn't then.

Prison can and does change one, so the mild and meek person I once knew may be different now.

Wow.

There should be a list of this kind of story stickied to refer all those that talk about bringing their retirement savings into the LoS for "investment" into a biz scheme.

Interesting story. So how did the woman in question die? Totally unrelated?

Yes, the best judiciary money can buy, not that this trend is unique to Thailand. Glad he finally got out, but the vicious old crone still got to wreck his life, hi-so you gotta love 'em. Funny how money and influence gets the "sociopath" association dropped from your name.

You say; my uncle, my cousin. Are you Thai?

The woman who filed the charges is dead. How did she die?

Not sure about about any of this. Sounds like something big time went down here and all seems rather scary.

She one day leaned over and dropped dead.

Some sort of illness from what I heard.

Nothing dramatic.

( I wish it would have been because her lab blew up and she was torn to shreds, but not to be. )

No, I'm not Thai. It went down just as I described it. Greedy selfish woman who dreaded the thought her cash cow was going to leave and her desperate attempt to prevent it, which worked for several years.

She completely phuk'd his life up.

It's my in laws.

My BIL is/was just a mild little guy from a not so well off family in Ubon.

It came down to her being able to get to the judge and his attorney before my in laws could.
