As usual, Trump is crying "fraud"
Right! So "fraud" actually DID appear once in Trump's rant, although not in the sense of that the use of a single word taken out of context implied. Appears to be complaining about their prior actions, as he references election fraud, and well, we're not in an election cycle. Perhaps I should retract my accusation of quote-mining, as no quotes were mined, merely a single word. In fact, there were NO Trump quotes in the article. Not one. There was a link to an external source, but nothing in the text itself. Just an artist's interpretation of what he/she/they/them want you to think Trump said. -

Crime Red Dust Smuggling Ring Busted: Senior Officials Implicated in Toxic Imports
Picture courtesy of Matichon. Industry Minister, Mr. Ekkanat Promphan, has revealed a major crackdown on an illegal network smuggling “red dust”, a hazardous industrial waste product, into Thailand. The operation has exposed financial irregularities, forged government documents, and alleged collusion by state officials. Red dust is a highly alkaline industrial byproduct commonly generated during the processing of bauxite into alumina (used in aluminium production), or from smelting and recycling metals such as steel. It can contain heavy metals and toxic elements, making its disposal subject to strict regulations. Improper handling or illegal dumping of red dust poses serious risks to human health and the environment, including soil contamination and groundwater pollution. For this reason, its import, transport, and storage are closely monitored. The sting, codenamed “Final Mile Operation,” was led by Ms. Thitipas Chotidetchaichanan, head of the Minister’s special task force, alongside the Department of Industrial Works, Samut Sakhon Provincial Industry Office, and the Environmental Crime Division of the police. Armed with a warrant from the Samut Sakhon Provincial Court, the task force raided Hua Chong Industrial Co., Ltd., located in Krathum Baen district. The company is allegedly linked to a larger scheme involving the illegal importation of red dust from abroad. The investigation traces the origin of the red dust back to Xin Ke Yuan Steel Co., Ltd., which reportedly sold the material to Hua Chong Industrial. Digital forensics from the company’s accounting system showed that payments were inflated by over 111 million baht, raising suspicions of money laundering and wider financial misconduct. Moreover, links were uncovered to KMC 1953 Co., Ltd. in Pathum Thani, a company previously charged with smuggling red dust into the country. Forged official documents were allegedly used to facilitate over 10,000 tonnes of imports between August 2024 and early 2025. As of now, 7,000 tonnes of red dust and 200 tonnes of other suspect hazardous materials have been seized and sent for examination by the Department of Industrial Works. Legal proceedings have been initiated against Hua Chong Industrial Co., Ltd. and its director, Mr. Yihan Wang, for possession of hazardous substances and unlawful importation of dangerous materials. Crucially, Minister Ekkanat confirmed that an internal investigation revealed the involvement of certain civil servants who facilitated the import through improper documentation. These individuals face disciplinary action and possible criminal charges. Ms. Thitipas emphasised the scale of the operation, stating: “This is a well-organised syndicate that operated despite previous penalties and shutdowns. Their disregard for environmental and legal consequences. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-05-10. -
