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

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,

A post that was a slur against Thais removed and a troll post also removed

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
