Abstract:Thailand's Department of Special Investigations (DSI) plans to ask for Eddy Polgari of Hungary and Daryl Cai Yonghui of Singapore to be sent back to their home countries. They are two of the 16 people suspected of being involved in the Forex-3D investment fraud.
The Forex-3D case has harmed many individuals. More than 9,000 investors have filed complaints with DSI, and their investments total almost 2 billion baht. But it is thought that the real number of victims is much higher, and could be as high as 20 billion baht.
When the Thai Criminal Court found out that the two wanted people had left the country, they issued arrest warrants for them on Tuesday.
The Hungarians flew out of Thailand on January 14, 2020, while the Singaporeans flew out on October 25, 2019.
The remaining 14 suspects have surrendered to DSI.
Several Thai celebrities took part in the scam.
Many stars, actors and actresses, singers, and celebrities were engaged in this case, including Savika 'Pinky' Chaiyadej, the female protagonist in the Thai TV series Wong Wian Hua Jai. Pinky and her family profited more than 2 billion baht from the Forex-3D market.
Pattanapon 'DJ Man' Minthakhin and Suteewan 'Baitoey' Thaweesin, a celebrity couple, used their celebrity to urge others to engage in the FX fraud.
Krating, who has acted in TV shows such as Just A Man, The Crown Princess, Pramook, and Death Dealer, was the leader of one of the primary squads in Forex-3D, with 17 subordinates.
They were all charged with public fraud and breaching the Computer Crimes Act. Savika, her mother, and her brother were detained when the judge denied their bail plea.
RMS Familia was founded by Apiruk Kothi, the pioneer of Forex-3D, and a few pals. He created the Forex-3D website in March 2015. They got people to invest in CFD futures here by saying they would get 10% back each month if they didn't take their money out in the first three months.
According to the firm, it has competent staff and employs artificial intelligence technology to handle the money invested. Furthermore, current investors who successfully attract new investors would be eligible for extra incentives. All of them, however, were components of Ponzi scams.
Several well-known Thais participated in the program. They utilized their celebrity to get additional investors to join them.
The truth was revealed towards the end of 2018 when Forex-3D ran out of funds and was unable to pay its monthly payouts. The scenario continued for many months, forcing concerned investors to want refunds.
We all know that pyramid schemes are bad for more than just losing money. They are scary because they make people look like they are not real. And, no matter how well-wrapped they are, all Ponzi schemes eventually fail. Investors should be cautious and avoid this type of fraud to avoid losing money they don't have to.
