Using an app they stole 3,975,841 baht in 115 withdrawals between April 19th and June 11th. Finally the woman's employer noticed and went to the Chiang Mai police with their suspicions resulting in the issuing of a warrant. The woman, a resident of Muang district was arrested at work, the boyfriend, from San Sai, surrendered to police. She had used her knowledge of banking operations in the past to change passwords for the couple's benefit and transfer money to their accounts. They used the cash to pay off debts, buy goods and do some online gambling. Region 5 chief Lt-Gen Prachuab Wongsuk said that the couple have been charged with conspiracy to steal and theft from an employer.

Worse than that. It is 115 offenses at 12 months a pop. Thailand doesn't charge you with 2 or 3 and have the rest "taken into consideration," so they are not getting out for a very long time. Don't have a whole load of sympathy for them mind. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Aussie Chiang Mai Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Wish I had that much money it took me 2 months to notice 4 million gone. Surely running a business you would check online banking daily. When I had my business I always checked bank for transactions. Dumb people. ????❤????????

IAMHERE Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I must be the only one to suspect the guy forced and coerced and intimidated the young girl into doing these crimes. She just suspected the crime spree to be caught out after a few hundred thousand baht went missing. She couldn't of done it without the assistance from the bank and its apps. Six months tops for her.

Aussiepeter Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Administration has never their strong point in that office. I left the original of an article there to be published some years back and when I called in later to find out why it had not been published, they told me they had lost it !

Note to all: check your bank balance regularly! i get an SMS every Monday morning 7 am from Bangkok bank showing my balance. Also transfers/payments SMS from yellow bank withdrawals/transfers over 5,000 and showing balance, what still amazes me, I get the SMS before the money comes out through the rollers. Did they manage to change the phone num of the victim on bank records also Edited June 27, 2020 by brianthainess add content 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had used the money to "buy school uniforms and supplies for nieces and nephews", perhaps donating a percentage to the Thai Police Mia Noi Retirement Fund, they may have gotten away with a 500-baht fine, a deep wai, and a warning... ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
