Worth noting that he has been in Thailand 10 years and that Dutch police asked their Thai counterparts for help 2 years ago. Still, better late than never. Those boiler room boys had better watch their backs.

Yes because a bird in a cage start singing......

So they waited til he spent most of the money investing in thai property I imagine. ??

On a Dutch language website I found a big report about this guy.

About 650 people invested 50.000 euros each or even more...

They collected over 11 million with a beautiful brochure about investments in a  luxury Turkish holiday retreat..

He took most of it to Thailand obviously..

Chicken s**t compared to how much Thai scammers get from foreigners and that includes the RTP

Maybe he usually is a nice guy. Ha ha ha.  Crooks aren't always dressed in black like in the movies.  I consider myself a nice guy and 11 million euros might make me do some bad things.

Most likely this is the way it happened !.... justice may be slow, but it has a very good memory !!!!

All these scammers think they are clever old dutch man thinks he is was nice and cushty in pattaya.  Soon as his mate booked in the system pinged and Thailand were given heads up.

He looks familar , might have seen him in the Jomtien area, in the dutch restaurant on Jomtien beach rd.  Should have asked him to pay my bill.
