Bank repays women’s missing money after social media uproar

The daughter of retired astronomist Worawuth Tanwutthibundit has dropped a police complaint over the missing Bt900,000 from her bank account after the bank branch office, under pressure from social media, repaid the money without waiting for the results of the internal probe which were not due for another week.

 

Nanthakan Tanwutthibundit , 36, a resident of Chacherngsao’s Plaeng Yao district told officers at the Muang Chacherngsao Police Station Thursday afternoon that she had just received the repayment plus Bt1,854.05 interest from the bank and therefore wished to withdraw the complaint. 

 

Nanthakan filed the complaint after finding out on August 20 when she withdrew Bt200,000 from the saving account which had Bt2.5 million in it that a total of Bt900,000 had disappeared through several withdrawals. 

 

She initially received a phone call in the morning from the bank that its headquarter would look into the case and the investigation would take a week only to receive a call a few hours later telling her to collect the repayment and interest totalling Bt901,854.05 at 2pm. 

 

Nanthakan also thanked all media agencies and fellow social media users for publicizing the news and the bank for its fast action in solving the problem. 

 

She added that the person who allegedly took the money was a female employee in her early 30s at the branch office who helped her open the account in March. 

 

Nanthakan had said the account had been put in her name for convenience and was made up of Bt1 million from her father’s savings and Bt1.5 million raised by family members for his care. 

 

She said she was convinced that the employee knew exactly what she was doing as she also went to see Nanthakan at her shop, bringing gifts and being friendly while also telling Nanthakan to call her first if she wanted to withdraw money from the bank, as she would make sure the branch office had enough banknotes to give her. Nanthakan urged others to take note of this case, saying that those who embezzle will always be found out in the end.

She opened the account in the name of the bank teller for convenience.... I.Q. of a durian.

The account contained her father's money but was opened in her (the daughter's) name... Something about stones and glass houses comes to mind.

That’s not how I understood it. The money was not hers but from her father and other family members and the account was opened in her (daughters) name for convenience and “not” in the bank tellers name.

Ha ! I bought a BMW a while back and paid part in cash and part from my credit card. I had to go to the bank with the salesman and BMW accountant to with draw the cash from the card, I clearly clarified that the funds should come out of the card and not a cash withdrawel ... yes yes yes they said, we understand .... about 4 months later, my wife (whom the BMW was under) got a call from the BMW accounts dept asking when were going to pay the balance of about $15,000 USD ... but we have paid we said, eventually, it worked out that the salesmale took the cash out, stuffed in his pocket, put $5000 in the BM account and then continued to pay $2000 per month back to BMW whilst making interest on the money in his own bank account .... geeeeshhh ... the cheek of some people ... yeah, he left on his own accord, sent the funds to BMW when found out but never returned to the showroom ... just a sorry and that was it ... the cheek of some people !!!! (and in case you are thinking .... it showed up on my statement that a payment had be made to a certain bank, not a case withdrawel which I rarely do due to the high interest ... so somebody in the bank must have been into this also)

No mention of any dismissals at the Bank then, theft usually results in at least that

The person responsible was probably slid out the door to avoid police charges, and embarrassment to the bank. The last thing the bank wants is a well publicised court case

I have just reported 1, 097.64 has been removwed from my account. I was at work at the time and received a msm saying I had just used my card. I went immediately to my bank and reported and changed my card. Have to wait 10 days. Will see.

It is absolutely not right to withdraw the complaint, someone in that bank steals money from customers hoping to get away with it!

That's definitely not a red flag.  I always call the bank before I go to make sure they have enough money on hand to cover my withdrawals.
