This guy's father should just cut off his funding.

It is weird, but nobody has explained to me yet where the "crime" is, and why Interpol is involved.

There is no crime in having so many children. I know a family in Australia who have 9 children. I think this is blown out of proportion.. But yet something still smells "fishy".

What are the chances of this "father" actually providing the emotional and monetary support required for all these children up to and including university? If the monetary support suddenly dried up, wouldn't these children end up as exploited beggars on the streets in Thailand? Even if the monetary support did not dry up, how does being raised by salaried nannies without knowing ones parents affect a child?

That's a really good point. I find it funny that the same people who support this man's "right" to have as many children as he pleases as long as he can afford to pay other people to raise them, are equally insistent that their own wives stay at home to raise their own children instead of dumping them in nurseries. Hypocrisy much?

Who're those guys? Maybe we should log their account names, for later anonymous reporting to Interpol.

CLEARLY something is very wrong with what this guy has done, maybe not technically a crime(tbd) but still very seriously messed up at the very least!

I know a family in Australia who have 9 children.

Did either of those parents lie to officials about their origins, or smuggle their kids to other countries one-by-one, never to be heard from again? Did they keep their nine kids in an unfurnished condominium in the full-time care of hired babysitters who may or may not have been qualified for the job? If not, they are probably not guilty of any serious crime.

$9300-$12500 is a huge amount of money in Thailand.

The real question was did he have fun in making? All fun must be PUNISHED. I doubt there is anything illegal about "spreading your seeds", but probably child support is due.

As I understand surrogacy, it's used when the wife cannot - for one reason or another - carry a baby to term. You would have another woman carry the baby for you.

Contrast this with one guy having eggs fertilized by his seed and implanted in at least fifteen women. Is he trying to start his own baseball team?
