Casino owner shows off wealth on Facebook, 'proves' innocence in Thai man's murder

[Bluespunk]

Isn't there a law about hoarding so much untraceable cash?

This guys actions doesn't prove anything towards his guilt or innocence for a murder but it does leave him open to other things. One thing for sure! He has just shown he has enough in cash to pay any bribe to the police should they desire it.

Perhaps letting the BIB know this is is what the pictures are really all about.

[WitawatWatawit]

I would have thought that he has just made a good case for the police to reopen the case and take big brown envelopes with them, to clear his name.

I think you will find the cops are already benefiting from his largesse. But I guess they could always do with more. It's soooo expensive being a little big man these days.

[scorecard]

I don't know the case. I do know that the concept of someone being so rich he wouldn't want more money is silly. People have killed for a lot less especially where partners are involved.

Proves another point to me.

Only one person gets rich at gambling, and in this case very very rich - the casino owner.

[Oziex1]

He is very rich so he is a good man a very good man.

[chinostar]

Best evidence ever; show you're rich and you're always innocent.

[toybits]

He probably has small hands.

On another note, flashing cash and flashy cars proves nothing. People have been murdered for much less - such as hurting his feelings or causing him to loose face.

[kaiyaibob]

Can't be that rich...looks like he has to drive himself around in the Roller

[kkerry]

So rich he never has time to go to the bank...

[Rhys]

He has the BIG member..

[Strangebrew]

Well just a pile of paper But it does prove one thing he has the cash to hire someone to kill his partner for sure. Now doing that would surely put him at top of list as to motive and possible gain. what would be better? half owner or full owner? Instead of 50/50 split no split cost of hit 5,000 USD return complete ownership of casino and didn't even get hands dirty.

[trainman34014]

Obscene photo'.... but we have come to expect that of the local 'culture' where ones loyalty is only to piles of cash and ones own 'face'. Disgusting culture for disgusting people !

[bheard]

The man is obviously a nutter, but a street smart one.

Can anyone amass all that legaly? I doubt it.

Will someone try to steal it from him? YES.

[akampa]

so who really gives a s******t any way,a fool and his money.

[Lupatria]

At least he can afford to pay 50.000 Baht for three coconuts.

Imagine, Thailand would own legalized and controlled State Casions.
With the profits Thailand could fund many good social projects.
Education, drinking water supply, care for the elderly.

Now the money is gone, and is in the hands of a single Cambodian.

[HOOD Robin]

Maybe the inside of the stacked money is empty just like those stacked rice bags in sooooo many places all over the country ?

"methinks he doth protest too much"

I somehow doubt that if there were a state controlled casino generating that amount of cash that any would end up going to "good social projects" such as you suggest.

There would be very many "administrative expenses" to be covered, leaving little left.

Showing all that dosh is a big mistake in my book.When certain brown boys see all that cash,i think this guy is going to get a visit.That sort of money lures all sorts out of the woodwork and not just the uniformed ones.If they can find him,i reckon he will be 'fitted up' for something.It gives a different ring to 'a fool and his money is soon parted.Then there is the kidnapping scenario.Why would anybody be so stupid as to do this.If he is a suspect,and he wants to keep some of his money,all he has to do is to turn himself in,go through the procedures,and buy his freedom.This way,he loses some but still gets to live above ground.If i had that sort of cash to hand,it would be in a bank in the Caymen Islands or some other tax exempt country.By doing this on screen he has put himself on offer for all sorts of ruthless people.It wouldn't surprise me if his body parts turn

up in different places What a tosser.

[aRobotnamedWAR]

REVENGE. the mans life means nothing to him. if you get free money from casinos others life means nothing. Just look at how hes proud of himself for killing the man. and denying it with what he calls proof. no one will kill anyone... with out this asshats permission. noone.

[Scouse Twoccer]

Hmmm...has he paid taxes on all this wealth? Might not have been smart to show all this off! LOL

Hardly the point.

[Scouse Twoccer]

Isn't there a law about hoarding so much untraceable cash?

No, but even if there was what makes you think he is "hoarding" it? Perhaps he took it out of the bank for the photo then put it back in for the bank to "hoard".

[Scouse Twoccer]

Amazing Thais.

He'll definitely be proven innocent when some of that stash finds its way into the right hands.

Amazing Thaivisa posters. He hasn't been accused of or charged with anything.

Nope but he's certainly proved he's a complete knob-end with that FB post, wouldn't you say...

So glad to see the urban myth that IQ and wealth

are closely related has finally been exploded......

[gk10002000]

Does Thailand tax Thais on money they earn outside of Thailand as the USA does to US citizens outside of the USA?

Mr Aroon Wongrak. I doubt he's Khmer/Cambodian.
