The following is from the Bangkok Pundit blog:
"Pavin Chachavalpongpun, a fellow at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, in an op-ed in the Straits Times (subscription only). Key excerpt:
"Last week, I had the chance to interview an insider who has been involved in Thaksin's court case. I was told that the nine judges assigned to the case are well aware that their verdict could change the face of Thai politics. Therefore, they are trying to calm the situation and reach some kind of compromise with the pro-Thaksin movement.
It is highly likely that the judges will split Thaksin's assets into three parts to end Thailand's political deadlock. Some assets will probably be seized, some frozen and some returned to him. The likely scenario is that the judges will return to Thaksin the assets he earned before assuming the premiership in 2001 - assets that he claimed he earned honestly."

That sounds fine, as far as it goes, but what about all the stock, later converted to money on the sale of Shin, that belonged to the wife, kids and in-laws before and after he became PM ?
