realenglish1 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 That is a story by The Nation Leave out that it is in millions of Krones then leaves out that it is 82 million in "Baht" Who at the Nation writes this garbage.

TuskegeeBen Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) deleted post A rather brilliant scum of a guy, to have ripped-off that amount of money from a corporate enterprise, then manage to remain a fugitive (without a visa) in Thailand, for 7-years? I'm just curious about the 7-year series of events, in Thailand, leading to his arrest? An interesting story, for sure, Edited October 14, 2014 by petercool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robroona Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 We very often see foreign nationals being arrested after information received from their home country. Except for a few credit card scammers being caught here, we never see reports of the scammers who live and operate here, preying on the expats who haven't learnt the ropes yet. Mind you, there is a lone exception to this rule, but he is seriously frowned upon by the Thai Visa hierarchy who appear quite willing to post this mulch from time to time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sviss Geez Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 That is a story by The Nation Leave out that it is in millions of Krones then leaves out that it is 82 million in "Baht" Who at the Nation writes this garbage. A very low quality journalist and I say that lightly "...That is a story by The Nation Leave..." What is The Nation Leave? Are you trying to writing similar "garbage", as you call it?
