It could be a million cases but if they dont arrest him it all means nothing.

 

"Which way did he go ?" Should be the governments war cry.

[leeneeds]

"Ready to beam me up scotty"

[colinneil]

My my havnt they been busy.

What a joke keep filing charges more and more, but then nothing happens.

This nonsense has only resulted in Thailand being mocked around the world.

[ezzra]

 

I(f this S44 has any teeth, the best way to go about it is to get this temple under

a full lockdown, no one comes in, period, if you want to pray and worship, do it from

home for now until this mass will clear out and all those responsible will be caught,

let the innocents worshipers know and understand that they're being held to ransom 

by a rouge criminal few.....

starting to sound like persecution

Starting?

 

This is about wiping this sect off the map, by any means necessary. And it's not just "political" at this point.

 

The massive effort, and the timing, is no longer "curious".

[maoro2013]

I doubt the charges are actually against 'the temple' probably against 'people' involved with the temple.

[Mitker]

"Forward it to all your contacts.. let's make it reach 1,000"

[Hereinthailand]

Persecution ? wow you few must not read much. How about the temple giving back the money embezzled from the poor people with accounts at Klong Chan Credit union that went to the temple. 

[retarius]

What exactly is the point of all this police activity. He isn't going to be convicted even if they ever catch him. Forget the whole thing.

[Lupatria]

I did not expect any other result in a quarrel between a pseudo spiritual abbot and some key stone cops.

It isn't a Temple and these are not Monks.

I believe they want him to escape and flèe the country. The military will then propagate the high ground by calling him a fugative and they wont have to face the potential backlash of his supporters for arresting him and during any trial.

 

Its all planned if not probably negotiated!

1500 have retaken part of it and won;t let the authorities back in

It's amusing that some people think this is about embezzlement. (Yes, Supachai embezzled vast amounts from the KCUC, and donated some of the ill-gotten booty to Wat Dhammakaya. I wonder why no one asks where the bulk of the embezzled funds ended up?)

 

This is about wresting control of the nation's religion back to the "good people".

 

 

Dhammakaya, co-op case settled after temple agrees to return Bt684 million

 

DHAMMAKAYA TEMPLE and its abbot yesterday agreed to return donations of Bt684 million to Klongchan Credit Union Cooperative through six instalments in a bid to end legal trouble related to an embezzlement case involving the cooperative.

 

The agreement was reached at a mediation |session arranged by Thanyaburi Court among the temple, its abbot Phra Dhammachayo and the cooperative.

 

“Given that we will get the money back, we have decided to drop all complaints against the temple and its abbot,” the cooperative’s representative Prapasssorn Pongwisarnkul said after emerging from the mediation session.

A little travelling music if you will maestro. Yes I think your onto something. He could join the monk group on Monk group 1 flying around the world. He would be the big boy in the group. From the look of that map that was posted on here he has lots of places to call home.

"308 criminal cases" Is that all? And there's me thinking it was serious !

[55Jay]

About the same number of search warrants they got too.

Yes, in a few days it will be time to resort to scientific notation.

 

 

 

[fruitman]

308 cases only against one monk? Did he do it all himself? Hard to believe that.

 

 

[sjaak327]

What does it matter, it's painfully obvious the Junta doesn't want the monk to be arrested, smokescreen is what this is.

 

The truth, when do they dare to say it ?
