Former FBI Agent John Schachnovsky Talks Crime & Punishment in Thailand Part 2 [S8.E22]

First off - if you're in town, join our meetup: Saturday,
December 6 at The Warehouse on Charoen Krung Road. Check our
Facebook page first before you come just to make sure there have
been no last minute changes.


In Part 2 of Greg and Ed's interview with John Schachnovsky, the
former head of the FBI in Thailand, the men continue discussing
John's varied responsibilities in the Land of Smiles, this time
focusing on specific cases. John brings up the he played in the
Asian Tsunami of 2004 and how the FBI used its technology to help
identify myriad victims. John mentions that due to the close
working relationship between the U.S. and Thai governments, the
FBI would lend a helping hand (often one with advanced
technology) anytime it could.


Greg then brings up a very current issue - the horrible crimes
being committed by cross border scam centers. John mentions that
the issue was already hot for the FBI several years ago during
his tenure. He emphasizes the unique complexity of such crimes -
they involve multiple nations, honchos who themselves often come
from other countries such as China, and lower level perpetrators
who are themselves often victims of trafficking. 


To wrap up, the guys get personal and discuss John's love of
Thailand and his project getting his wife to agree to stay in the
country permanently. Greg and Ed wouldn't know anything about
that!
