Sinsae Shogun case expanded to past crimes over 10 yrs

 

BANGKOK, 24 April 2017 (NNT) - The Commissioner of the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) has ordered that the investigation into Pasit Arinchalaphit be widened to include her previous criminal charges dating back 10 years. 

CIB Commissioner Pol Lt Gen Thitirat Nongharnpitak revealed that the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) is following the money trail to uncover all related assets, as well as those in connection with previous cases against Pasit dating back 5-10 years. 

Pasit, alias Sinsae Shogun, is the lead suspect in the WealthEver travel scam, which duped 430 people into losing 16 million baht on bogus trips to Japan. 

Currently, the suspect is facing charges of fraud, criminal association, seeking a loan for the purpose of committing fraud, and violations of the Computer Crime Act. Police are also considering charges of consumer protection violations and money laundering.

If the police had been doing their job properly for the last ten years and actually following up on complaints and arrest warrants, this current action wouldn't be necessary.

Don't sweat it Nick J. Most people who've spent time in Thailand are aware there is a  portion of the female population that are referred to as "Toms". Pasit Arinchalaphit aka Sinsae Shogun is one such person.

Tom identity

A "tom" (ทอม) is a female who dresses, acts, and possibly speaks in a masculine fashion. She may not identify as a lesbian, but she may be perceived as one by others. Toms wear short hair, a deviation from traditional Thai culture which prizes long hair as a sign of feminine beauty.^[4] Women usually wear skirts in Thailand, and in many government offices skirts are compulsory and pants suits banned. Toms dress in men's clothing—slacks, sandals, and loose fitting button-down shirts. According to Ara Wilson, a tom will use male speech terms, especially the old, now-crude pronouns "goo" (Thai: กู) and "mueng" (Thai: เม็ง / มึง).^{[5][6]:127,131}
