RT @Vanalli: What happens to Sondhi now? Does he go straight to jail? => He's already out on bail appealing other cases #

Does anyone know if Sondhi Limthongkul got bail in this case? He often does as he is presently appealing other cases. #

RT @Vanalli: "After the verdict was delivered, Sondhi went to the court basement, waiting to apply for bail" #

Not surprised => RT @veen_NT: Heard the bail is granted. #

According to BkkPost, Sondhi confessed, so he must be appealing length of sentence & not verdict http://t.co/tIwyGhPD #

Isn't it rather ironical that Sondhi, who accused Thaksin of corruption, is today sentenced for corporate fraud! #
