To me this is a bigger picture. Any person who tries to convence / convinces others to do anything outside of the norm should be charged and tried. In my view this includes what are nowadays called 'influencers' who try, often with outright lies, to convince others that specific cosmetics, shampoos, vitamin etc., tablets have value. And not true. my opinion is that they should also be charged and tried. For many yeas I lectured at several Thai universities. At 2 unis there were students (mostly female) who regularly convinced oher students to buy unproved / not approved tablets and cosmetics, etc. One girl even arrived early and set up a display in my classroom (and I discovered she had done this in other class rooms). I walked in, she instantly tried to make a sale to me. I responded with 'pack all of this up and take it to the deans' office*. never again create a display or try to sell to other students in my classroom'. The dean was angry and told his staff to get it tested. The test revealed it was all junk. The dean came to my classroom, told Ms xxx to stand up and the dean asked her 'how many students in this room have bought itesm from you? ' She tried to change the subject, it didn't work, Dean told his admin stff (who were there) to take her to his office and telll her she cannot leave until she answers my questions. Ultimately she was dismissed, grades cancelled, cannot register even again.
