One born every minute. A machine that can produce diesel 

Many people see get rich schemes, never think, study facts, just see BIG money, then get conned.

A machine that produces oily water for 40 mil!.......You can do that with in a bucket worth 100 baht! 

I have one that produces methane. Only a million baht!

And the buyer didn't even test the machine first to see if an engine could run on the diesel?

Money laundering ! 

this guy must be a Criminal 

why did I not think of this?

Now that this scam has been given plenty of publicity re-jigged imitations of this machine should soon be freely available in the Thai black market to discerning opportunists looking for a fast baht.

  That is a plant producing diesel, a little bit bigger than a 40 million baht machine, but point taken.

Darn, there goes the sales-prospect, for my recently-invented top-secret perpetual-motion machine !

To think someone with a spare 40 mil bart  laying around could be so dumb 

Mind you people like this are breeding all around the world

Scary isn't it  

Why not name and shame the dumb investor

I have a machine that produces alcohol, I will sell it for 30M Baht.
