Now surely the name of "Kwame Rasheed Jackson" would raise some questions when leaving the US?

It doesn't sound like an American name?

I always wonder why these criminals. Make there homes in Thailand? sic

Obviously they find it easy to leave the US undetected by US law enforcement agencies or US immigrations ... or they know who to slip a little tea money to become "invisible" to US authorities. The same apparently applies to European "entrepreneurs" and those farang police.

Once again it's up to Thai police to do the work of farang police & immigrations.

That's a laugh...that is, the Thai police doing the job of farang police.

I doubt the Thai police knew who or where the guy was until they got the arrest request from the U.S. Embassy with the U.S. agencies listed below identifying the crimes he's wanted for and his location in Thailand. Summary: here you go Thai police....all the info you need on this guy...please go arrest him so he can be deported/extradited back to the U.S.

However, the FBI, along with the U.S. Department of State, Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) located Swarn in Thailand last year and were able to deport him back to the United States.

I know a guy who has been here 15+ years and made millions calling Europeans and Aussies (NEVER the U.S.) selling BS stock shares. There are 2 reasons this a-hole has gotten away with it - The laxity and greed of the Thai police and the fact you could by a SIM card at the 7-11 and NO ONE knew who owned it. The new law is a joke if it's intended to stop this. They'll just pay Thais to go buy and register the number. MONEY NUMBER ONE IN THAILAND!

That pr photo of him reminds me of Chester the Cat.

Maybe Thailand will soon learn that it would be in their best interests to screen visitors to the kingdom for previous convictions, or on wanted lists.

He does look like the typical all American Dream boy....

Strange he's not wearing the light pink jersey and check shirt.....???

against the wall with this lying cheat. the world is better off without the ......

First. There are no questions when you leave the United States. There is no immigration check. Nor is there profiling. If the name is not on a "no-fly" or fugitive list, there are exactly this many questions: zero. If anyone, American or otherwise, wishes to leave the United States, the US is very happy to see their back, not a regret. The lack of immigration/customs checks at US departure points is a policy, and has been since the country was founded. "If you don't like it, you are free to leave" is not just a meaningless slogan.

Second. Kwame Rasheed Jackson sounds EXACTLY like an American name. All-American, even. Each of those three names is common in the US, and it is not even slightly strange they are together.

I suppose you think Barack Hussein Obama doesn't sound like an American name? And yet, it is. Not only that, no American says it's not. That said, it is not NEARLY as "American-sounding" as Kwame Rasheed Jackson.

Looking at the arrest of statics of number of International criminals arrested here, Interpol should open a branch in Suvernabhumi Airport, will be more easy to arrest the criminals.

I always wonder why these criminals. Make there homes in Thailand? sic

I don't.

Birds of the same Feather, seems to all roust together!

........seems to be a rooster nearby every household in Thailand!

What a #$%^!

I can see 1500 members reading this post. Sounds something suspicious.....

why arrest only these guys? we should arrest the US government for lying and stealing money because we know they won't pay back their 18trillion debt. every second people are losing a ton of money due to the government and their conspiracy with the federal banks.

Oh, please come home with me in September and let me film your slipping some " tea money" to the Kentucky State Police. It would be a good instructional video.

Dear Khun Suradit69,

Welcome back, I have missed your incredibly obtuse and uninformed speculations on how life in America is. Yes, please come to the USA and slip some Tea Money to a Federal Agent to exit the USA while he knows you are escaping a raft of felony charges.

Good to have you back, I needed a good laugh today !

I hope he gets raped every day in his new jail cell in Thailand.

More than likely he will be sent back to the USA.

USA government, should just pay the Thai government to keep him in a Thai prison.

Too many boiler room scumbags like this in SE Asia. There should be the death penalty for people that deliberately and knowingly cheat others money.

O.T.T.

(Over the Top)

Why is it ott?

There's the death penalty for drugs smuggling. Cheating other peoples life savings is just as bad and probably more worse.

A rapist a thief and an American well well

Once again we see Thailand cooperating with another country in arresting those with a warrant against them.

This should hold good when the time comes when Thailand wants to ask these countries to arrest those on the run from justice in this country.

Dear Wandasloan,

Correct across the board. Every time a time pops up on TV that does not sound like a professor at Oxford, circa 1913 ... the folks here get their panties bunched up>

I guess there are still pockets of White bread cultures somewhere where the names are Smith (Smyth?) and Jones ... but as you have eloquently pointed out ... America is not one of them.

Does anyone know why it is called the melting pot?

You know what is rare in America? People with names like the TV people THINK they should be.

Best Regards,

He just has one of those faces you would like to punch..................sneaky, oily looking bugger, plus he has more hair than me.

Some of the worlds biggest scam artists were very suave and considered handsome. To want to punch someone merely because of their looks, speaks volumes about ones ethics and moral character, more so than the mans abundance of hair.

And to add to Pib's post, the arrest was probably supervised by Embassy or Interpol contractors who did everything except put the guy in cuffs.

He looks like an advertisment for a burger joint somewhere in Illinois. You can't invent those guys (and their dentists).

I hope he gets raped every day in his new jail cell in Thailand.

More than likely he will be sent back to the USA.

You seem to think American prison is a Club Med.

it is not, and if rape is your desired outcome, we can bet on it.

Should you chose "i will bet you prisoners in America are not raped' ... I have a wonderful income generating property in Detroit you may be interested in.

A lot of people working in the IRS..........Suggest open pit, mass grave sites!

Knowing the specifics of the extradition agreements/treaties that each country has with Thailand seems to add credibility to a position.

I certainly don't know what each country has agreed to and which crimes are covered within these agreements/treaties.

To speculate would only add to the already murky postings that abound on this topic.

They do rape guys in US prisons, too, you know. And, not to put too fine a point on it, it's likely to hurt more, all things considered.

That said as a joke, I believe you are a neanderthal and a barbarian, brubakertx. Locking people up because they've done bad things is one thing. Wishing them to be tortured or brutalized in any way is another. It's one of the important lines between civilization and primitive societies.

Go back to the middle ages, Rambo, or better even, to those caves where you belong.

I don't suppose you frequent "Irish" pubs in the City of Angels, then?

Interesting. What does an American name sound like? Pachino? Weinstein? O'Donnell? Obama? How about first names. Are Barak, Woody, Cassius and Luigi American names?

It probably has one of the most diverse mixes of cultures of any country in the world.

As I'm sure you know, almost all converts to Islam adopt an Arabic name. There are many converts in the US. At some point in the future all those Arabic names will become American names.

His name sounds like a completely American name. An African American islamic convert from New York.

Wasn't real estate already cheap in Detroit?
