    Cashed False Cheque - Went To Thailand With 5.6 million Kroner

    One or more bankers in Vejle overlooked a false cheque, and were forced to wave goodbye to 5.6 million kroner. The 5.6 million is the figure at the check, a man from the Danish town Vejle has succeeded to cash, writes the Danish tabloid B. T.

    The man in question is now in Thailand.

    Hmmm so they don't hold a check until it clears before handing over the dosh?? Very odd.

    This is clearly a fraud, and a substantial one at that. I believe people can be extradited for fraud so his time here will be limited.

    He possibly knows this.

    Should be a remarkable few weeks/months blowing the money before he goes inside.

    Scandinavia has the best jails/legal systems in the world. If he's smart he'd put most of that away somewhere very safe. Get a good lawyer. Set up a 'robbed of all my stolen cash story'. Go back, do his six months in minimum security, then come back and enjoy the rest of his life without having to look over his shoulder.

    Good on him.

    Depends if Denmark and Thailand have an extraditionagreement, if not then he can stay as long as he wants and Denmark can not do a damn thing.

    Let's see. Thais know he's a bad guy who has lots of money.

    They know that he's screwed if they send him home.

    I think the Thais will not make him as comfortable as you suggest and will enjoy a piece of that ill-gotten pie.

    Tex, my thinking too. Once word gets around he will find everything from apartment rent to buying food costs him a small fortune. Until the money is gone and then he'll be on a plane back home anyway.

    People have certainly been deported from Thailand to Denmark on fraud charges, I have remembered one from about two years ago involving a Dane.

    If he keeps his mouth shut and keeps a low profile he'll be fine to begin with.

    If he acts like a big spender and starts throwing his money around he wont.

    I would be over the border to Cambodia with a new ID if I were him and he'll never be caught. New Passport and ID is easy to obtain in this neck of the woods.

    If he's a daftie and just goes partying he will be caught.

    Yep a new ID would be a priority. Let the money cool down in as many different bank accounts as you can open. Keep on the move.
    If they want their money back make them work for it.
    If a bank is so stupid to let that amount of money go without letting the cheque clear they deserve to get f*cked at every opportunity. I bet the Bank Manager ass is in a sling too

    If it was a false (fraudlent) check, a crime has been committed whether the bank cashed it or not. The bank has every right to recoup the loss. I don't think they'll be willing to chalk up a 39 million baht loss to error.

    They'll hunt this guy down and because he's a wanted criminal, the local governments here will help them.

    I have nothing against the guy personally! He has not murdered, killed or raped anyone. And certainly does not affect my private or social life. He may have done wrong thats his choice a good ole bank scam where you sting the bank for as much as you can.
    The banks have been stinging the public for years legally and illegally, bank charges, overdraft rates,loan rates, credit card charges the list goes on.
    If he gets caught unlucky, I am sure the banks insurance will look after them as for Robin Hood spend as quick as you can pal and then do the time..

    A Robin Hood he isn't.

    He got released from jail in april, sentenced for human tafficking, and running thai pros in whorehouses in the town of Vejle.

    I do NOT like him.

    Highlander comes from the Megahorn School of: Ripping Off People in Suits is Not a Crime.

    I didn't attend that one.
