Phuket loan shark arrested after assault on female

[TallGuyJohninBKK 25,587]

 

7 thugs and 1 shark

 

Right on!

Any one of them would be right at home

sitting on that chair!

 

 

What is it with Phuket police, and their seeming constant lack of uniforms and even shaving???

 

Is that how RTP, such as it is, wants to present itself to the public?

Well lets hope they take down Tim Sharky next - the self-proclaimed pimp-cum-loan shark of Pattaya. With the NCPO stepping up their game on visa violations, it's unbelievable he is still able to get away with taking 500 Baht per girl for protection, and brag about it all over the web.

No sympathy for the woman.

She knew exactly what the terms and conditions were, yet, she still went ahead and took the loan without any idea how she would pay back the interest, never mind the principal.

Really.....what did she expect? She knew who she was getting into bed with.

No concept of self-responsibility.

You are absolutely correct. She played with fire and burnt but so did he. She was a deadbeat who had no intention of honoring the agreement. Create a debt and know that you can get the police to intervene and not pay. Wow better move and hide the family when this guy gets out a jail.

Hope she nearly starved to death before she stopped bouncing from his punch.

Why is it stupid?

 

1. She would have been told the interest rate before she took the loan.

 

2. She admitted that she couldn't pay back the money (meaning the interest).

 

3. If she couldn't pay the interest, what chance of paying the principle?

 

4. All money lenders will resort to intimidation, otherwise, no one would pay them back. She would have known that.

2nd report of loan sharking... how many places have the cops involved?  where to protest ?

 

I would be happy to lend money, legally and get 10% PER YEAR

All very well if they have collateral, but, most customers of loan sharks don't have any.

If the debtor doesn't have to worry about "consequences", they just run-away, or bare-faced say they won't pay the loan back.

That's why loan sharks always use intimidation as a business plan. If they didn't, they'd be out of business. That's just the way it is.

The 20% is too high. Normal rate is 10% per month.

What's loan sharking coming to when you can't intimidate someone who won't pay you back the money?

Can only hope someone kicks the crap out of him

 

I wonder whether the pistol has been disabled - firing pin removed or similar. The pistol, rounds, and a magazine are within easy grabbing distance of the thug, and as best I can tell his arms are too far adapt for him to be handcuffed.

 

Such professional police work.

 

Well, let's take a look at the logistics that would be involved...first, he has to make a grab for both the magazine and a few rounds of ammo.  Then he has to load the magazine.  Next, grab the gun, shove the magazine in, jack a round into the chamber, then point the gun.  All this while surrounded by a half dozen cops.  I don't think they're too worried about this dipstick making his "last stand" right here.

Wrong.  Picks up one round, puts it in the chamber, releases the slide and it's good to take out one policeman, or himself, as a suicide - or, use that one round as a threat, while he tries to escape, with, or without, a hostage. 

 

From his position, if reasonably trained, that firearm could go from cold, to hot, in around 3 seconds.
