When the victim tried to get their money back, they were met with evasive responses.<\/p>\n<p>Manus had been released on bail but failed to show up for his court hearings.<\/p>\n<p>The court sentenced him to 1 year and 6 months in prison for the first case, and 1 year and 3 months for the second case, totalling 2 years and 9 months.<\/p>\n<p>Following the arrest, he was taken to the Don Mueang Court before being transferred to the Bangkok Special Prison.<\/p>\n<p>During his transfer to the court, Manas joked, &#8220;Today\u2019s the SEA Games boxing championship for 12 categories.
