The 1994 Blissher fraud case has finally concluded after two company executives lost their appeals against combined jail terms of 120,945 years.

However, the law only allows a maximum punishment of 20 years imprisonment for this type of crime.

Blissher Inter Group Ltd swindled 24,189 people out of 826.27 million baht.

So the case started in 1994 and just concluded? 20 yrs maximum for this type of crime, so why in the first place give 120,945yrs? Of course anyone in their right mind would appeal, but 19 yrs to finalise, it's nearly as stupid as the original sentence. Timeshare no matter what country it is in, you have to read the fine print, I did and walked away from the deal. Hopefully justice was served to all affected in this case.

What happened to the rich Redbull scion? He was high on cocaine and alcohol, killed a policeman, and is yet to face any charges.

They should have given investigators 'useful information" to get 1/3 off. That's over 40,000 years.
Bet they're kicking themselves.

Maybe they'll get time off for good behaviour.
