    ^^^ made oi larf again there, Gent, so ta.

    Slightly unfair analogy I thought. I'd place the property investment punt, being that TIT, and they're thieving, cheating, ruthlessly evil kunts, thaat this should have been known by matey from the outset.

    So the idiocy level is really quite high....though not so high as a heavily laden one off spunk on evens at the casino, and far higher than a straight forward bank deposit. Save Lloyds, RBS, Barclays and HSBC gangsters

    Well I must admit,

    I thought it was just another one of your mindless pathetic Thai bashing threads again. You are consistent at that huh.

    Anyway, Ill go watch the Video but the question remains.

    Why did this Farang invest all his shit in phuket and not allow for things to go tits up.?

    Whatever, Farang beware.

    Look you munters,

    I have no problem with you guys giving me a bit of " What For ".

    Its quite Ok but if this guy is so cashed up and so smart why the fuk did he throw his lot into Phuket ?

    Thailand is corrupt is fuk and even someone like me who knows " fook all " knows it.

    Why fooking do it ?

    They do it simply because they think they are smarter than the Thais, they are not and never will be.

    Well I have just viewed that video.

    You say I know sweet fook all but I must Know a tad more than that guy simply because I know I can not own the land a house is built on.

    So if I was going to buy anything it would be a Condo which I could own.

    Further more, he picked the wrong bint to marry, Happens everyday in the real world.

    No big deal this one and just another story from the falang Ghetto.

    Err, Terry, they stole his fucking chanotes with which they "sold " the properties to their gangster friends including bent coppers. To do that they used bent lawyers and bent Land Office officials. It is a criminal conspiracy to steal his property. It wasn't a swindle in which he was gullibly hoodwinked It wasn't a business deal gone wrong. It was theft.

    Are you fucking retarded or what?

    It is no fucking different to a bent copper beating the shit out of him after he passes through immigration control at Swampy and stealing his fucking wallet.

    The point is, the scale of this type of theft is so fucking huge on Phuket that no one else in this shitty, useless, anarchic country can do fuck all about it. And if anyone dares to report this crime spree they'll get a bullet in the fucking brain. Which is the same fucking reason why no one reports on the boiler room scam in Bangkok and Chiangmai because several senior officials in authority are involved.

    That is your fucking Thailand, you dozy twat.

    I've thought a bit more about what the cop has to say in the video, and while he does seem sensible his take is rather chilling. Officer Friendly starts off by pointing out that the woman who stole the chanotes and locked the kids in a well (the bitch- who does shit like that?) hardly made any money herself, and basically was just a conduit to the cesspool of bent Phuket officials, cops and bank staff- which, by the way, would in most places make for a fairly diverse set of cohorts as far as conspiracies go. He then goes on to talk about farangs and the bad girls they fall for, which strikes me as tangential to the story at best. That the Irishman might be a sucker and girls in bars might not be honest is pretty much beside the point; suckers and dodgy broads preying on them make for "dog bites man" stories anywhere in the world. Focusing on that is nothing more than victim-blaming. The story here is the almost mind-boggling depth and breadth of corruption- the guy might be a sucker but once the predatory cops, bureaucrats and bankers got his scent he didn't have a chance.

    The scary part based on what the cop has to say is that the far-reaching criminal conspiracy seems somehow less surprising or important to him than a dumb foreigner falling for the wrong girl. Maybe he just takes the multidimensional corruption in Phuket society as a given, and sees educating foreigners about the dangers of getting involved with prostitutes as potentially a more fruitful endeavor. He might advise foreigners to steer clear of cops, banks, and bureaucrats as well. The cop estimates that 10-20% of bar girls might be honest- I wonder what his figures for Phuket cops and civil servants might be.

    Well, " the farang has only himself to blame " little homily generally is the usual line trotted out by the cynical and frazzled alike to deflect blame and attention from where it truly belongs i.e. a vicious mafia enjoying governmemt support.

    The truth of course is apparent to anyone with a functioning brain.

    That simple point seems to have been completely overlooked by more than a few.

    Anyone looking to invest large amounts of money in any foreign country needs to do a lot of due diligence. Anyone doing even a minimum of diligence on Thailand should quickly know the score. The risks are just far too high. The entire system is aligned against you and you are almost certainly setting yourself up for a big fall.

    He might as well have painted a target on his back.

    An experienced (and quite well to do) businessman really should have known better. Not much in the way of risk management in this sordid tale.

    I hope the guy recovers at least part of his fortune. It appears to have been such a blatant criminal operation with a whole chain of bent and totally corrupt individuals involved; although proving it all may not get his money back, I wish him the best of luck.

    No, Koman, it is you who has missed the point, you fucking eejit.

    " Due diligence" my arse. You twat, he had his fucking chanotes stolen from him and these were corruptly processed by a conspiracy of bent coppers, bent lawyers and bent Land Department officials who transferred title illegally to their own beneficiaries acting as a front for the gang.

    You stupid gormless fuckwit.

    Oh fuk me Thegent, go change your Colostomy bag for fuks sake.

    This guy got steam rolled and fuked over by the Thai System, its quite a shocker that this sort of corruption runs so deep.

    Thing is , most Expats know it and actually allow for it especially if the are considering throwing a large mass of Wonga Thailand's way.

    For this guy to be so utterly stupid to invest so much money in Thailand and not allow for it all to go to shit is simply Insane.

    He got fuked over in the first instance by his mad bint, the game played out from there.

    This shit is not unusual, Farangs need to do their home work.

    He obviously did not, made a bad decision and got fuked over.

    It happens, hence why I don't invest shit in this country.

    I only hang around and have a great time.

    Try it Mate.

    You're on a roll today Genticles.....you win first place in the bollocks department again.... Did you even bother to read what I wrote before launching your broadside?

    By due diligence, I meant that anyone doing it would not likely have invested in Phuket in the first place, or at the very least, have placed strict limits on his exposure. (in such a place one should never risk more than they can afford to lose)

    Instead he risked what appears to be his total worth in a place where corruption at all levels is known to be rampant.....and oh dear; my Chanotes have been stolen by shady lawyers, crooked officials, and bent law enforcement folks.

    I thought even a foul mouthed trolling 12 year old might have picked up on that but apparently I over estimated you.

    Has the penny dropped yet? Jeeeesus...you can be stupid beyond belief at times. ....oh, and juvenile insults and profanity does not improve your argument...even when you have one.

    Nothwithstanding the guy's over-concentration of Thai investments, presumably you would agree that now the theft has come to light, that he should get restitution of his assets.

    ...and that the Thai criminals can't just keep the ill-gotten gains on the reasoning that he over-invested, and he's a silly, big nosed farang, and they're Thais.

    Of course he should, if there is a shred of justice left in that den of iniquity. That remains to be seen. I wish him and his family well in their efforts to win back their properties.

    How could anybody think otherwise. He has clearly been the victim of crime; plain and simple. My point right from the start was simply that he did seriously over expose himself to an entrenched and blatantly corrupt system, that he really should have known about.....and has paid a terrible price for his mistake.

    The man unfortunately seems to have approached investment in Phuket with a kind of reckless abandon. It's not like the word was not out and about regarding the nature of business dealings there. As I said before; if you want to invest in such risky business, you need to strictly limit the exposure, and keep the bulk of your assets somewhere a lot safer.

    Just common sense surely?

    terry, you are sadly an australian, and as if that wasnt enough of a handicap in itself, you have also, through no fault of your own, been blessed with a full set of DNA that originated in the grimy and wrinkled testicles of one of your ancestors, an englishman, no doubt a sheep shagging thieving vagabond, who was caught, horsewhipped and deservedly sentenced to banishment and transported to australia.

    and 200 years down the line you find yourself in possession of those unruly and nasty little genes.

    therefore it comes as no surprise to me that you, as both the owner and slave to those evil genes find yourself with little or no sympathy for the honest and hard working victims of this scam, and that you choose to blame them for their misfortune whilst in some small way you cheer on the perpetrators as if in their dishonest and lazily obtained gain they have proved themselves somehow cleverer than the victims and therefore as worthy of their rewards as the victims are as stupid and deserved of their losses.

    the fruit never falls far from the tree terry eh?

    If the man had an ounce of common or business sense, he would never have ended up in the situation he is in. I think that's what that poster is saying and he's right.

    Simply pointing out that it was theft, corruption and wrong as you are, does nothing to negate the fact that you don't invest all your money in a country where something like this is highly likely.

    Do you think because what happened was wrong the victim can't be criticized for making poor decisions? It's two completely separate statements and one doesn't negate the other.

    But hey, at least after a bit of Thai bashing on an internet forum, you'll probably make it through another day.

    Exactly. Well said.

    Funny how the people who are talking shit are also the people name calling and throwing insults around.

    I see this forum is like most others when it comes to internet tough guys and their propensity for aggressive personal attacks to cover their lack of a coherent argument.

    The victim has family here. Blame him for misplacement of trust, but the theft was enabled by corrupt officials and he can't be held responsible for that, unless everyone who invests in Phuket is guilty.

    Yes, misplacement of trust and very poor business decisions, naivety, and countless other things. No business man puts all their eggs in one basket let alone a basket known to be full of holes and being carried by someone who wants your eggs.

    Nobody is trying to make him responsible for the corruption or saying he's guilty. He simply made lots of stupid business decisions that have left him where he is today.

    The fact that people have some overpowering desire to relieve him of any responsibility for the position he has found himself in, is clearly testament to their bias.

    Phuket was corrupt BEFORE he invested a single dime there yet he chose to do it anyway.
