Gullibility isn’t a crime, but conspiracy is

Re: “Man tricked into handing over Bt300,000 by Facebook promise of Syrian windfall”, National, August 1.

As the old saying goes, a fool and his money are soon parted, and Mana Samitsomboon deserves to have lost his money in an Internet scam. On top of that, he should be charged with conspiring to illegally bring US$3.5 million into Thailand, which is very much against currency laws. Although the money didn’t exist, he thought it did and his intent was to gain by helping the “conspirators”.
