Crime Police Bust Six Scam Networks, Arrest Three Chinese Bosses
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Police have dismantled six scam and money mule networks, arresting dozens of suspects including three Chinese ringleaders. Police Colonel Chotiwat, Commander of Metropolitan Police Investigation Division 9, announced the results at a press conference on 19 August. The operation followed 44 arrest warrants issued by the Criminal Court, with more than half the suspects now in custody. Investigators revealed that Chinese nationals led the networks, using Thai accomplices as “money mules” to withdraw funds from victims before transferring cash and digital assets overseas. Many recruits were lured through Facebook advertisements. Network 1 involved 6 Thai suspects who managed profits from criminal activities and withdrew money through the group’s accounts, with Chinese commanders controlling and planning operations. This network used vehicle rentals and frequently changed residences to evade authorities, operating continuously since early 2025. Network 2 saw authorities arrest Mr. Lei and Mr. Haithai, two Chinese bosses who controlled operations and managed finances, along with 3 Thai accomplices with divided roles including opening accounts, withdrawing money for commission shares, and renting accommodations. They received 1,000-2,000 baht per transaction. This network’s fraud method involved claiming to be Ministry of Education officials offering deposit protection. Investigation revealed the two Chinese nationals rented a hotel on Ratchadaphisek Road as their base. Police raided and arrested everyone on organised crime charges. During the raid, they also found a Thai woman using drugs in the room, leading to additional charges for methamphetamine possession. Network 3 emerged from a case where scammers sent messages claiming damaged packages and offering 500 baht compensation, but actually tricking victims into transferring money. They used money mules in two rounds: first, a Thai woman named Ms. Thida withdrew 814,000 baht, then Ms. Wanatra withdrew 1.6 million baht from corporate accounts. Financial tracking revealed over 3 million baht in cash withdrawals, suggesting money from other victims was also processed through these mule accounts. This network was controlled by Mr. Weiming, a Chinese national, along with 4 Thai accomplices who opened mule accounts and withdrew money across multiple provinces including Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Regional Police Region 1 areas, and Bangkok. Authorities issued 11 arrest warrants, successfully apprehending 5 suspects including Weiming, who was captured at a restaurant in Huai Khwang while eating. Weiming claimed he couldn’t speak Thai and requested an interpreter, initially denying involvement with scammers and money mules. He also claimed to have heart problems, but police investigation revealed this was merely acting. Police had key photographic evidence of Weiming collecting cash from the money mule group. Network 4 involved 5 suspects, 2 brokers recruiting money mules, a withdrawal controller, an assistant boss and a Chinese national controlling operations and distributing profits among accomplices. Network 5 saw the arrest of 5 suspects including one foreign national, with seizure of communication equipment, SIM cards, multiple bank account books and substantial cash from criminal proceeds. All 5 managed finances from defrauding victims regarding civil service retirement funds. After victims transferred money to the group’s accounts, suspects would withdraw cash from various branches to deliver to controllers. Network 6 involved Nonthaburi City Police in arresting a group managing profits from scamming citizens through intimidating phone calls. After victims transferred money, financial controllers would order this suspect and accomplices to withdraw money under supervision. Metropolitan Investigation Team 9 is expanding the investigation into other accomplices Colonel Chotiwat warned that investigations are continuing to trace other accomplices, stressing that scam operations are increasingly sophisticated and mobile.

Updates and events in the War in Ukraine 2025
Spell Arrse correctly. Predictably, you have spent your time trying to prove how terrible Ukraine is, and zero time showing far higher Russian resistance to conscription, because basically you are a Tankie. Go ask Arrse what that means. I post on there. You are an ignorant man. You make a statement Cherry picked to belittle the Ukrainian military, because you think it shows the Ukrainian military in a bad light. Your mates in green will verify this; in WW2, the British army varied between about 900,000 and 3 million men, but of those, only about 20% at any one time were on the front line. In June 1944, the British Army in the U K was about 1.5 million men. A further half million were in the Middle East, Africa, Asia. In June 1944, 156,000 British troops hit the beaches in Normandy. So what's your explanation why only 10% were sent over? Its also why the entire Russian army isn't in Ukraine. Russia is a bigger county, with a bigger population. But it also has more borders to defend. It borders several NATO members. It borders Japan. It borders China, who recently has been making claims to parts of far eastern Russia, recently occupying some Russian islands. The answer is to do with troop rotation, training, logistics. In Iraq, 60% of the Americans deployed were not even in uniform, let alone frontline roles. You provide a plagiarised paragraph in support of the Russians, pointing out how they are willingly volunteering; you nicked the statement from a paywalled Economist article. The statement is unsourced "30,000 per month", versus "27,000 per month" for Ukraine. In both cases, the numbers are before losses. Of course, like all wars, the aggressor (Russia) is suffering higher losses that the defender (Ukraine), thats why typically, when planning an offensive you need a 4:1 to 3:1 advantage. Why are you so intent on discrediting the Ukrainian military, and so obviously championing the Russian military? It is because you are a pro-Russian propagandist, wrapped in the sheen of Chat-GPT. You fail to mention why early in the war Russia felt the need to scour prisons for pressganged convicts. You fail to mention why Russia had to deploy North Korean troops, not Russian troop, to Kursk (its to do with the terms of the Russian military service). You fail to comment on the large numbers of clearly unwilling African and Indian fighters captured by the Ukrainians (totally different from the small numbers of foreign volunteers in the Ukrainian forces). What you deliberately fail to mention, because I know you have read exactly th same OSINT source that I have is that in many cases, Ukrainian troops desert one unit to join a preferred unit. You also deliberately fail to mention the Ukrainian programme to reintegrate men who have gone home, with some success. Ukrainian and Russian desertion rates are roughly in line with American desertion rates related to Vietnam, and similar to what the Soviet Army, even when it was winning, during WW2 (5-10%). You are promoting a pro-Russian ideology which is broadly to over emphasize Ukrainian difficulties, ignore Russian problems and exaggerate Russian successes. Kremlin playbook. You cherry pick sources that support your bias, which is broadly anti-Ukrainian, painted in a cloak of respectability. Since when has "conscription" anywhere been anything but "forced". Conscription is by definition, compulsory. I had a Great Uncle who deserted in WW2. he was a Bevin Boy, didn't fancy being down a mine, so went home. Eventually he was caught by the Red Caps and ended up in Court, where he played the system long enough to eventually agree to join the army after VE day. War was over by the time he finished Basic. Earlier, another Great Uncle was dragged out, crying, by the Provosts, after he went AWOL. He went back to the front. Yes, Ukraine has to conscript men. Britain had to as well. Conscription had to come in WW1 because not enough were volunteering. Russian law forbids conscripts with less than 4 months training from being in combat, and forbids service outside of Russia. But the conscripts are often tricked or threatened into signing contracts, which releases them for deployment outside of Russia. But you deliberately fail to mention this, because you are so intent on discrediting the Ukrainian serviceman. https://www.sibreal.org/a/obmanom-zataschili-na-voynu-kak-srochnikov-otpravlyayut-za-lentochku-/33397552.html https://www.rferl.org/a/russian-conscripts-youth-dying-ukraine-putin/33351828.html https://www.severreal.org/a/my-v-uzhase-voevat-ne-hotim-srochnikam-platyat-po-falshivym-kontraktam/33164620.html https://www.genocidewatch.com/single-post/russia-s-forced-conscription-in-occupied-ukraine -
