Many famous Thai men have been involved in a scam of 10,000 people: Locked up, 'revealed' for 20 years?

Recently, Thairath newspaper reported that after actors Pinky Savika, Thunsiwat Chantanukul and Kasem Kolpraneet, many other Thai artists were accused of being involved in the Forex-3D scam.

Specifically, on September 14, husband and wife DJ Man Pattanaphon and Baitoey Suteewan met with an investigator from the Department of Special Investigations (DSI) and admitted to the charges including fraud, borrowing money and violating the Computer Crime Law . The two are temporarily not allowed to leave Thailand.

Previously, DJ Man Pattanaphon and Baitoey Suteewan denied being involved in the scam and asserted that they were just victims.

Thairath reported that two famous actors under CH3 station Ball Jitpanu Klomkaew and Krating Khunnarong were also accused of fraud.

Even, Krating Khunnarong is one of the investors and important link of the chain. The actor has drawn many colleagues into the line, one of which is Ball Jitpanu Klomkaew. Many viewers boycotted and asked CH3 to handle the two actors involved in the scandal.

The above information is shocking because Krating Khunnarong is an actor being held at CH3 TV channel. The actor born in 1996 takes on the male lead role in two current CH3 dramas, Sarb Sorn Ruk and Aye, Khoi Huk Jao.

On September 14, Krating Khunnarong sent a letter to the Minister of Justice of Thailand to confirm that he was not related to Forex-3D. On the same day, the leader of CH3 also confirmed that he would take appropriate disciplinary measures, even dismiss him if Krating Khunnarong was involved in the fraud line.

Previously, on August 20, the Thai entertainment industry was stirred by the news that the famous actress Pinky Savika was detained for being involved in the Forex-3D financial fraud ring.

Thai media reported that the actress, her brother, mother and 19 others were detained for alleged fraud. The Forex-3D application was determined to scam a total of more than 14 thousand people, the amount of illicit profit amounted to 2.5 billion baht (about 1,600 billion VND).

Authorities seized a total of 570 million baht (more than VND 369 billion) in exhibits, including apartments, land ownership certificates, cars and bank accounts.

On August 21, Thai media continued to report that in addition to actress Pinky Savika, two Thai artists, Thanasiwat Chantanukul and Kasem Kolpraneet, were also identified in connection with this financial fraud.

Actress Pinky Savika and her mother filed a request for bail, but the court did not allow it because the case was of a serious nature. Two artists Thanasiwat Chantanukul and Kasem Kolpraneet also applied for bail but were denied by the court.

According to Thai media, Pinky Savika, Thanasiwat Chantanukul, Kasem Kolpraneet are responsible for representing and advertising Forex-3D application to create trust for customers to invest. They shared a huge profit from this deal.

The detention of three Thai artists for involvement in a large-scale fraud ring is attracting special attention from Asian public opinion and media. The prosecution said that they had launched the fastest investigation to limit the spread of false news online because the case involved many artists in the Thai entertainment industry.

According to a source from Thairath, with nearly 14,000 people scammed, Thai artists prosecuted in the Forex-3D case can receive a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

The Forex-3D application launched in 2015 and is run by Apirak. This financial business line has been under investigation since 2019 after a victim filed a complaint. This person said not to be paid profits as advertised. Through verification, Thailand's Department of Special Investigation (DSI) accepted the case in early November 2019.

Thai police said that the Forex-3D application makes a profit by inviting many people to participate in forex transactions, promising profits up to 60-80%. Investors must pay a minimum amount every month to receive 10% profit. They will receive an additional 5% commission if they attract newcomers to the Forex-3D program.

The presence and calls of famous stars help the Forex-3D application attract a large number of users. After being investigated by the authorities, the mastermind Apirak fled abroad. In 2021, the mastermind Apirak was arrested at his home after sneaking back to Thailand.

According to the police, artists such as Pinky Savika, Thunsiwat Chantanukul and Kasem Kolpraneet have been identified as key links in Apirak's fraud ring. They have a close relationship with the tycoon that runs the Forex-3D application.
