What’s interesting (Tate case etc) is that there is an ever increasing amount of cases that list items from fashion brands when their homes are hit, this is in the West just as much as the East.
What surprises me is, if you buy an ounce of gold they want to know the ins and outs of a donkeys a*****e
Yet walk into Loui Vuitton and drop 10gs on the table and not an eye is batted - I’ve seen this in Europe, and more so in Asia
There needs to be SoW and card only transactions at these brands so it flags up
Because evidently the avg new criminal sees media and thinks this shows his wealth or her︀ wealth, so they buy that s**t
It would immediately tag and flag numerous people for︁ investigations.
Don’t get me wrong I have a loui wallet, gucci trainers and a gucci︂ belt - these are normal things a career hard working person buys over the years︃ - but these chaps running around dropping 1k on a man bag, 500 bucks on︄ flops etc, 2kg up on a suitcase are obviously new wealth and that wealth generally︅ comes from fraud
Especially with the Asians
On the car front in China you can buy a BYd for about 10k I think it’s about 20-30k in Thailand and slightly higher as in euros in Europe
In Thailand my car (1) is considered a import (Ger) so it came with a 200% import tax I believe yet it’s made in a factory from parts transferred into Thailand
The other one is a British brand and I think there’s only three factories - one in the UK,︀ One in Slovenia and one in China - I had to replace the gear transmission︁ for it during Covid after fucking it - cost nearly 15k in parts imports and︂ taxes plus the outrageous increase in aluminum costs
BUT the second one I’d never replace︃ for any other brand, the first one I rarely if ever drive (done 40,000klm)
I’ve tried non European brands in Asia - but found - not safe - but cheap︄ to repair and replace parts - I’d rather have something that is built for crashing︅ at high speed and walking away from - I s**t you not a ford ranger︆ raptor (still have) the axel snapped off going round a bend - made in Thailand,︇ ford ST I was crushed in a decade ago, Honda jazz gearbox flew down the︈ road in a crash, and the sheer amount of Toyota crashes I’ve seen - f**k︉ that.
