"While officers were distracted..."

Read: LINE, Facebook, YouTube

"while officers were distracted" i.e. looking for the money honey

anyway another tick in the box for karma for this 'high ranking monk'

A mentally disturbed man commits suicide and the TVF punters have a field day.

What a sad mob these posters are .

and where, pray tell, is your evidence he was mentally disturbed and not a common criminal on the run? convicted outside the monkhood then INSIDE the monkhood? then died trying to flee? wow what an imagination you have

The building was not on fire so if he had a change of heart why not just get the elevator ? I suspect he didnt actually aim for the bag as the story tends to suggest.

They probly moved the bag during flight .... saved a lot of paperwork for many.

HE missed the bag hmmmmmm.

Shouldn't that read the guys with the bag were in the wrong place and missed him?

No, one of the guys with the bag was a victim of the monk's fraud, and sought justice by moving it at the very last moment!

Actually, it may be you that is the "sad" one here.

We are not talking about a man who had dedicated his life as a monk to the plight of the poor or sick. He had dedicated his life to his own greed and self satisfaction. Most posters replying to this thread can see this fact. You obviously cannot.

The man deserves no sympathy, may be his parents, if still alive, do care.

He ended his pathetic life in a cowardly act of suicide.

...........the fastest way to Buddha?

Was heard to shout out as he passed each floor "So far.so good!"

I wish Cameron and Osborne would try this !!!

Police said that Jarupat Sriwaranon was a serial fraudster and thief from Rayong. After a series of cases against him he had been ordained and got a high ranking position at the Chak Yai temple in Chantaburi.

Says all about Thai Buddhism.

you are either being purposefully reductive, or you are a fool. there is plenty more to be said, just not by you.

From what I have read about this guy he was not mentally " ill"

He was a serial fraudster and con man and thief...

However apart from the questionable behaviour of the police in this incident.... What was the temple doing with 11 million in the first place... Saving to enhance their car collection... Shouldn't that money have been redistributed amongst the poor and needy which is presumably where it came from in the first place...

In your dreams.

considering that the police and temple knew about his thefts but let him continue, whos really to blame?

I wonder what has happened to thailands other Flying Monk.

The class on display here is truly inspiring...

Haha... I have no illusions as to where this money is now...or where it should have been...

And I pass no comment on Budhism either... Look at the Catholic "empire" ... One of the wealthiest organisations in the world ...
