Congratulation !!! And the real gangsters could continue with doing what they always do. 

 

     I'm just wondering who'll keep the "confiscated money?"

Crime of the century !! 16.000 baht !! wow.

Mr BIG is going to be seriously hurt by that.

Pity they have nothing better to do with their time, like tackling serious crime.

Maybe the 16k baht is what was left to be officially confiscated after all the cash was gathered.
