'Jet-set monk' in Thailand given 114-year jail sentence

Wiraphon Sukphon, known as Luang Pu Nenkham while he was a monk, was on Thursday sentenced to 114 years in prison for fraud, money laundering and violating the Computer Crimes Act.

He will, however, serve no more than 20 years, the maximum period allowed under the law.

The judge at Bangkok's Ratchadapisek Criminal Court also ordered Wiraphon, 39, who was already being held at Bangkok Remand Prison, to repay 29 fraud victims a combined Bt28,649,553 (S$1.18 million).
