The police had a copy of the fake so there was no point in lying and I've never been a good liar!
Mileage was down last month due to the heat & the rain; I only cycled 921.05 kms. This month, I should crack 1000 again - 376.71 kms up to yesterday.
I had two long interviews with the probation service (over four hours in total) and my wife had one - I do not know what checks they performed.
My bail was 100,000 Baht but was told that it could have been as much as 500,000!
Deportation was not mentioned at any time - only in my over-active imagination.
My wife and mother-in-law had long phone conversations with the lawyer, I only met him today - the family has known him for years.
The court was the Criminal Court on Ratchadapisek, I do not know the judge's name.
Immigration has a list of 60+ teachers who have committed the same offence and who will be interviewed and possibly charged.

Thats lucky for you then, that deportation was never mentioned when we can get deported for the most minor of crimes. And a 6 month suspended sentence also. Very lucky indeed Hippo.
Go on, dig out the judges name, it should be on some of the court docs. Get your Mrs to dig it out. It would be most intersting.
Congrats...![]()
This is it... The apocalypse.
Good news for you, dude...but bad news for those working with fake degrees.

How many people do you think are working here on fake degrees? A list of 60 seems pretty small.
Are you sure your school didn't ship you in. glad you're out now. how long were you working on a fake degree?
good to hear about it Hippo, and good luck.
Yeh, going to be lots more coming Hippo:

Good for you, Hippo.
How much did you have to pay the lawyer, out of interest, if you don't mind? This would be of interest to others, I'm sure. Do they charge hourly?
And what of the future? I guess finding work you're legally entitled to do now will be hard?
Sur votre bicyclette, mate.
if you didnt, and just told them that the paper was legit....what could they have done, notified the university to verify your degree? are they even allowed to do that? i thought it was a law (in the states) that those records are private
or was it your burden to prove yourself innocent by producing documents? and if so, how did they catch onto you for not having those documents?
