Right now he's thanking Buddha that he chose to put the gun in his pocket and not stuff it down the front of his pants.

The name Reinecke suggests he also has the same ancestry as the German conman. Anyway, sourced the following from a different news source, which just shows how much of a muppet he was to hand over his money - unless he has a paper trail and documented undertakings, this may not even qualify as fraud. Reinecke stated he decided to invest, swayed by Alex's apparent credibility and feeling fully convinced after their in-person meeting and discussions. However, shortly after Reinecke committed his funds, Alex abruptly claimed that the cryptocurrency website had collapsed. When pressed for an explanation, Alex attributed the loss to his phone being stolen and the money subsequently being hacked, leading to the complete disappearance of their joint investment. Reinecke has since been unable to establish any further contact with Alex.

Funny how CNN can spot Trump's swollen ankles, but couldn't identify a former president suffering from weekend at Bernie's syndrome for at least two years.

The miracle is that the Nigerian Prince didn't get to him first.

Unfortunately, the chances of the conspirators seeing any jail time is close to nil. Call me a cynic. Manufacturing lies is at the very core of politics. Besides, I'm sure they've already called in enough favours and done their plea bargaining. The level of permissible public embarrassment has been agreed upon, but underlying the agreements will be "no jail time". If they have negotiated a Patsy for the whole saga, I hope it's Brennan.

Sometimes, size does matter.

The video is described as "depicted the attackers forcibly restraining the man, identified as 27-year-old Cameron James Wilkins, preventing any retaliation while they searched him for valuables". Funny, I saw a bloke being kicked and assaulted while being robbed by a mob of thugs.

I dunno about being allowed to remain hetero - apparently heterophobia (didn't even know it was an actual thing until recently) is on the rise. We can only hope, for the sake of the non-heteros (irrespective of gender, be it imagined or as-born), that these damn tariffs don't impact the price of cucumbers.

I just googled the part number. It's the very first item in the search results. 555 Baht on Lazada. Artificial intelligence my foot.

I provided proof of address to Wise when I opened the account about 10 years ago. I opened the account in my home country and used that address. They asked me to confirm my address about a year ago in the same manner as you describe, and I followed the same process as you did. My address hasn't changed as I still have that property. I have a vague recollection of doing it previously but can't recall the timeline. I assume that Wise are simply complying with rules regarding money laundering etc, and probably have to satisfy a rule that say's they have to ask xx% of their customer base to confirm their address every xx years, or if a client exceeds xx dollar transactions in xx months. Some algorithm will be at the bottom of it. it's just a pro forma exercise by Wise so they can tick the box in their banking audit.

I wish they'd ban durian.

I thought this law was in place even before the bat flu, maybe 2018? I remember having to get off the rented chair and wander onto the footpath for a smoke. That was certainly the case in Jomtien.

I guess C.O.D wasn't an option. But really, who releases anything from your possession before receiving payment, unless you have already established a trusting financial relationship with the counterparty.

Somehow, I suspect trucks and buses in Thailand are not tested or certified for SRT - Static Rollover Threshhold.

Reminds me of the bloke that unknowingly took a ladyboy home, just got to the condo and the electricity went off. After climbing the stairs to the 32nd floor and the ladyboy disrobes, the lights suddenly come on. Faced with a dilemma, the bloke comes to the conclusion that he didn't climb 32 sets of stairs for nothing.
