American fraud fugitive Theodore Werner arrested in Phuket

[docshock13]

The police guy with the mic looks like singing the national anthem of the fugitives on the run who

got caught....

He is the next contestant on Thailand's got talent. The guy behind him (center) looks impressed.

He doesnt look so happy now does he ? He probably will get 20 years behind bars in the US. Good luck!

snip <Open your eyes and read the story. He used the internet to call people, that sounds like Skype to me. Hardly an internet scam.>

Did you read the story?

"Mr Werner is alleged to have impersonated a New York Department of Taxation and Finance official and made fraudulent internet calls to lure people into investing in businesses and transferring money to him."

Never fails to amaze me that people on the run always choose a place like Phuket instead of some where less visible.

I'm amazed how many fraudsters live there. On top of that even when their past is known, they seem to be easily accepted into the beach club swinger elite set, which says alot.

Puget is the land of fugitives and scum from around the world. It will never be the place it was 30 years ago.

or even 15 years ago, sadly them days have gone for ever, and just the memories remain, but slowly fading away.

Right (!) because where you two are is so much better than Kata Beach this last Thursday.

I think Thailand is one of the worst places to enter if you are a crook on the run or even an asylum seeker.

When located (and they have ways of knowing where you live now), you are bundled back on to a plane from whence you came, without a moments thought for any personal considerations .

No extradition hearings nor refugee claims slow down the process here.

There is most certainly extradition for those countries with whom Thailand has a treaty. The US is one, so is the UK ..

The key word in my post is "hearings". While there maybe formal extradition treaties, it appears miscreants don't get to argue the merits of their case against removal in the judicial system with the assistance of a lawyer.

Instead, as in this case, virtually everyone is on a temporary visa which they simply cancel, and then deport.

Yes sorry, on re reading missed the 'hearings'. So miscreants are unable to argue against their being extradited? That's good to know
