American Gangsters in Thailand: MATTHEW WILSON, Arrested at Airport for Kidnapping and Extortion

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Er, Chinese rock? (I'm livin' on a ... etc etc) :rave:
Americans in Thailand are using traditional Chinese thug tactics - kidnapping and extortion. Don't blame the Chinese here. Whatever the business problems, kidnapping, torture, and extortion should be off the radar.

Why do the Thais let these western riff-raff stay on in their country ?

In tents, I mean intense. strong throat grab opener, shoulda squeezed more and they'd all been better off. Homeboy fought back strong and them guys were big and in shape and apparently had training. Makes me even more glad that when I got a 2 million count Nitrile glove order back in April 2020 from a trusted friend in SZN, New China we didn't put too much into it other than some due diligence out in Kampong Speu. All told it was about a week and my friend up in New China was already reeling backwards strongly away from any Covid response PPE orders along with his partner. Lots of goofballs suddenly showed up and were quickly disqualified when all this new business hit last spring. The pros from Dover didn't want to have anything to do with it and after that kept a wide berth from any of these orders.

If it were my team that got jacked of our leader's 3 million and their cuts which woulda figured in the tens of thousands depending on when they got involved, if it were my team that got burned I 'd of permanently removed my boy scout patches from my button up shirts.

But, like other posters have said, the sourcing business has a whole bunch of third party safeguards built into it and my guess is these boys were too cool for school and skipped a bunch of semesters and got suprised by the final exam and it was just too late then. So, they went caveman. Shit happens, I mean for this kind of response they got ripped off and the guilty does not have so much as a basic good faith defense and that may be why these Falang made bail after roughing up the nice man who allegedly stole millions from them.

The only one I see in the video that may have had capital in this is Falang #2 and maybe the dude drops to the floor(Falang #1) and laces up but I doubt that guy was a Principal because only ex cons know how to lace up their fingers behind their head like that, but who knows he might be a Club Fed alma matter. But I still think the only cash was 2nd Falang at 2:30 in the reel. Club Fed grads never learned the riot roll up like this cat does here. Falang #1 looks like he's really hoping the Thai Swat team is misunderstanding their warrant orders, maybe a round of golf and a red envelope will set sails right for him.

The other guys may have worked this deal for many months and sacrificed opportunity cost and that's not something they'll be getting refunded for. Maybe that's why a couple of them seem so pissed off when attempting to subdue the alleged thief.

Great work by the Swat team.
