Civil Court orders 43 million baht of Nen Kham assets be turned over to the state

 

BANGKOK, 21 July 2017 (NNT) – The Civil Court has ordered the seizure of assets from defrocked monk Nen Kham and 8 others totaling 43 million baht to the state, deeming the gains ill-gotten. 

The Civil Court has ruled that the assets of Wiraphol Sukphol, the former monk widely known as Nen Kham, and 8 others, including a Porsche automobile worth 8 million baht and real estate in Ubon Ratchathani must be turned over to the state. A total 27 items were listed with a cumulative value of 43 million baht. 

The court ruled that Wiraphol and the others, all monks, could not account for the origins of their wealth and likely used funds from defrauding the public for their purchases. 

Wiraphol is currently being detained at Bangkok’s Central Prison after not requesting release on bond. He is pending trial for criminal offenses to which he has pleaded not guilty.

Cannot account for the origins of their wealth.

Scammers the lot of them.

Karl Marx - 'Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world and the soul of soulless conditions.  It is the opium of the people'.

  43 million baht worth of good luck would have been bestowed upon the followers for their donations

 

 

...so it's all Even-Stevens

 

[Godang]

43 million more to buy toys for the present regime.

The Monks have learned from their fellow politicians and Government officials. They were good students.
