No surprise whatsoever! Oh except she is not a farrang. 100,000 US $ life insurance required for visitors is on the exact same level of INSANITY!!! Folks in their 50/60/70 will pay 5/6/7,000 AUD $ for such a policy. Pensioners and all Australians get Medicare = FREE for most things. The rest of the world have varying situations, talk about Thailand having ZERO tourists in the future, apart from a handful of millionaires & billionaires. You can't fix stoopid!

If its a beautiful villa then I would suspect she is not a store worker. If its a wooden shack with a tin roof then I would suspect she is. not if she spent her wealth on lottery tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnray Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Do 200,000 baht's worth of crime then hand yourself in. Maybe some arson, vandalism, robbery, damage to public buildings, grand theft auto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's obviously a nominee of a company and signed off on being a/ the managing director. She is likely being held responsible for corporate tax if the company.. i'm guesting a foreigner or unscrupulous individual seduced her in becoming a nominee and director for a few baht. Just a likely thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the coppers that need to come up with actual evidence that she did it. No they don't. Remember the case of the old Thai man convicted of sending SMS messages breaking a very serious law in 2010. The prosecution could not prove he had done it, but they convicted him and gave him 20 years anyway as he could not prove he had not done it.

ericthai Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 5 hours ago, munchlet said: This is not surprising. Prosecution in Thailand is a money spinner for the police expecially. My secretary, who is a Chulalongkorn graduate in English was jailed for buying a stolen car off the mafia who sold it to her. She got 18 months. She was offered no jail time and dropped charges for THB1mn. She did not pay. She could not. There are 400,000 people in jail in Thailand, mainly for drug possession. All those families wrecked, children without parents. The Irony is that the mafia who sold the car to my secretary are still out free, presumably because they work and in hand with the police. I love Thailand, but i despair sometimes. 400,000 people in jail? That's nearly 1% of the adult population and a lot of screwed up families. Disgraceful. As my wife always says, only the poor are in jail in Thailand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be simple enough to go back through the company records and see if any wage/salary payments were made to her, which bank and account numbers, then check her bank records to see if anything was received or transacted by her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like this is usually a journalists dream in the west. And ends up with a defamation of character law suit in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myran Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Very alarming if she is indeed innocent of any wrongdoing, but let's not jump to conclusions after hearing just one side of the story. You don't know what kind of investigation has been carried out, and you can't say she's not a "high-roller" based on her appearance – the few dollar millionaires I know would look more at home in a soup kitchen than a mansion. If she is indeed innocent and haven't taken money to act as a nominee or something like that, those responsible for this mishap should of course be punished – not that I'm holding my breath of that happening.

nausea Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Anyway, they're flogging a dead horse by the sound of it; can't get blood out of a turnip. A bit flabbergasting for her, but it's going nowhere, assuming she's innocent as claimed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
