White Tiger Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 It is illegal to copy and print any form of bank note in any way, even if one sided, unless it has the word SPECIMEN in large letters across the note (generally for educational purposes). The printing house owner MUST have known this! Printing House business in Thailand. Does not mean that Somchai has any experience or knowledge of the trade. It only means one thing. At some point in the past Somchai had enough money to buy a printer and make a sign. You're right there Deacon Bell. 555 Last week he was probably the village barber, this week he was the village printer, and if he stays out of jail next week he'll probably be the village electrician.

Bluespunk Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 "Bangkok police have arrested a man and a woman for using fake banknotes - for which he hired a printing house - to buy cellphones from online shops." How did they use the counterfeits if buying online? I always have to use a credit card or PayPal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolut Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) It is illegal to copy and print any form of bank note in any way, even if one sided, unless it has the word SPECIMEN in large letters across the note (generally for educational purposes). The printing house owner MUST have known this! In addition, did the printing house owner import special silver paint to complete the rental job as requested, for only 4,500 Baht? I suspect a few fall guys here. The print house owner is more of an idiot than already appears, if he was not directly involved. He would not have had to import special silver ink. Silver is widely available as both an ink and a foil to every printer and finisher world wide. Printing silver is the same as any other colour. I'm going to guess they copied the notes on a Xerox or similar device rather than actually printed through a press. Why any print company would ever do a job like this is crazy.

SoFarAndNear Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 This must be very authentic wallpaper, if it printed on two sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 The printing-shop owner reportedly told police that Pakhawat had told him the banknotes would be used as wallpaper. So the banknotes were one sided then? And came in long rolls? yep, just tear them off as you need them So individually perforated and in a roll, highly disrespectful!

Seastallion Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I'm in Hat Yai. A neighbour showed me a fake 500 baht note that she was passed yesterday. Not a very good fake as it has a strip of white on one end, but the colour and feel is realistic....not hard to pass in a bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAMHERE Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Must of been a pretty good printer. The couple were hard workers to have passed 300 out of the 1000 already. Three good employees there if you had the right job for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three good employees there if you had the right job for them. It says the idiot was buying stuff online, which elevates his idiocy ranking further. I should have known it would be so easy. Just go to a printer and say "print me a million." He says it'll cost 5,000, I tell him I'll pay him upon delivery The cops don't bust the printer: "he's a printer, he prints stuff for people, that's what he does. It's not a crime." Welcome to Asia. Try that one in Singapore or Malaysia and all three would be standing in line for a flogging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
