Something about this story doesn't add up.  How dumb do you have to be to buy digital money from a stranger online who you need to then meet in person whilst it is common knowledge one can easily buy digital money online directly through exchanges.  Either information is missing or this Chinese national is one dumb bloke.

STUPID is…..as STUPID does.   The wussies must have been smoking the “medical” stuff abundant in Bangkok to attempt this in a BANK.   Did they not realize the security systems in there.   As for the victim….. Buddha almighty,  just how……naive can you be ?

They will be in Thailand for a long time with free food and free lodging.
