Police obtained a warrant for Grimm’s arrest for the bank fraud from the Thon Buri Criminal Court on Monday, and police managed to catch up with him just in time, one day before the 15-year statute of limitation expired.

Just in the Old Nick of time.

It's as if they had a calendar notification reminder and thought "knew there was something we were supposed to do, but never got round to doing."

What amazes me is how some people fall for theses scams, we know a bank or any other standard company will never cold call you and ask you directly for your account details, passwords etc via phone or email or text. 

I received an email from Paypal yesterday, it looked very official and stated they had taken $100 out of my Paypal account for a delivery.

I thought, well I have not orderer anything for a few weeks and why would it be in dollars it would be in pounds sterling so obviously a scam.

Plus another check people can do is check the senders email address which will be disguised as Paypal for example, so just right click on it in the email and it will show its true address which will be something strange like safaskjrjklerwe@weAredodgy1637.com

Assuming that he didn't do 90 day reporting and apply for his new visas, so how does he survive 15 years and reside in a hotel (I assume residential Hotel) in Hua Hin?
