Monk cost me millions, Ubon Ratchathani car shop owner says

[GentlemanJim]

Concerning the Original post.............My heart is bleeding purple piss!

[belg]

as monks are not supposed

to accumulate wealth

and his money came from illegal activities or abusing donations

serves this car salesman a nice piece of KARMA

[Neilly]

Suparat said he had been asking for his money back but the monk always avoided the issue.

Shakespeare had it right

[trainman34014]

Funny how these people never say a word about dodgy practices until the shit hits the fan for them personally. What goes around comes around Mr Shopkeeper....suck on it !

[simple1]

From the OP: "He said the DSI was ready to listen to "victims" as it had with Suparat and give them security" Obviously a number of "influencial people" involved

[steveyinasia]

Might need to rename monkey business to Monk Key business.....

"This monk verry bad! He make me give him 35 cars. Then he make me give him 5 million baht. Then he make me give him jewellery of 4 million baht. Then he make me give him 3 million baht. Now I loose face, because every Thai think I am stooopid."

"Don't worry k.Suparat, everything will be allright. Just pray to Buddah and go on tamboon and donate 10 million baht to my temple, and your money will come back to you in one month!"

[klauskunkel]

This dude shows great business acumen. I think he should be in charge of the rice scheme.

[thhMan]

Spielberg (or Disney) should make a new movie : "Monks in Wonderland"

[dominique355]

It always amazes me how supposedly educated people fall for superstitious and religious scams.

As soon as a saffron fabric or a sitting person figure is involved, all critical thinking vanishes.

But what is truly upsetting is that these rich and super rich people can give millions to these saffron and sitting figure people and their buildings, supposedly to make good karma for themselves, while millions of children in their immediate vicinity have nothing to eat, no home, no cloth, no education, nothing.

I know of some rich people who even gave credit cards to monks (yes, monks, plural!) and just covered their monthly spending, no questions asked!

And then even the government and the police feel obliged to intervene. What a bunch of hypocrites!

It shows how highly necessary it is to really separate religion and state. Religious associations are no different from associations for breeding rabbits, it's a purely private thing where the state (i.e. the government and the police) should not intervene.

Stupidity should not be protected by the government.

Meanwhile, I am waiting for Customs Clearance car Auctions, maybe I can pick up a cheap Benz!!.

Couldn't make this stuff up

[sunshine51]

This feller is more than a weight short of a shipment...more like a few tons.

[bangon04]

Hilarious, I guess his guilt will be assessed as usual, by how well he's connected and of course by the size of his brown envelope collection.

This family is clearly up to it's neck in this and now squirming to get off the hook.

I hope they set up a special fund where concerned citizens can send donations to help him out

[umbanda]

He was a good customer . . . right . . . and everything he has done flies in the face of what "real" Buddhism is all about. But then I guess that's no surprise here . . . sell their souls for a buck.

Exactly.....in America if you buy stolen goods or from dubious sources you will be jailed....Victim?...only in Thailand...

"In any country where talent and virtue produce no advancement, money will be the national religion:

here it turned to bahtism..."

[SOTIRIOS]

...a few people,I am sure, can come to mind....just check recent travel records of Thais that hurried to America after the crook's departure,,,,,

...they are on their way to retrieve what he was about to transfer out for them...given all the time it took to issue a warrant....

...he should have been arrested immediately...assets frozen...and they should search back records for at least 5 years.....

...this has been going on for a while...worth hundreds of millions...if not billions....

[PoodMaiDai]

Not a peep about any of the monk's wrongdoings until the video emerged of him on the jet. Suddenly, everyone has a story.

[giggles]

who knows by now the waters have been muddied ... they deal in dirty money ...

[WonnabeBiker]

Let's see. Which business hands over goods worth millions without i) a letter of credit or ii) normal payment? This is freaky shit.

35 cars - for who? For what purpose?? How can the DSI buy such a cock and bull story!?

[jrincon17]

Who does business like that ?

Obviously, a very very very dodgy one. This is the tip of a mountain of corruption and s**t.

[Cnxforever]

hahaha...serves them right! they of course are absolutly honest people - it never occured to them that there was something wrong dealing with a monk in the millions procuring luxury cars for the crook!

Karma strikes back - ups of course they are all fake Buddhists so they don't believe in Karma!

I hope they loose everything - they deserve it - turning a blind eye for years to the crooks dealings has now come back to hount them!

And the bling bling monk plot thickens ever more in the LOS (Land of Scams)
