Victims of the Forex - 3D Ponzi scam have been urged to come forward to not miss out on the opportunity to get their slice of assets seized from those under investigation. 

 

Earlier reports suggested that they are upwards of 30,000 people who believed they would get rich with returns of 10% a month. 

 

The DSI have special powers to investigate after the case was given special status. Six locations were searched at the back end of last month. 

 

On Wednesday four more houses, condos and buildings were the subject of search warrants in and around the capital Bangkok. 

 

They were as follows:

 

1. A 76 million baht value house was searched at The Royal Residence Chorakhe Bua, Lat Prao. The house is jointly in the name of Aphirak and Chanokwanan who are under investigation. Valuables and documents were seized there.

 

2. Rooms on the 31st floor of Whizdom Station condominium on Rachada - Tha Phra Road in Thonburi. A Porsche Carrera valued at 9.5 million was seized from the parking lot there. 

 

3. A warehouse in Bang Yai, Nonthaburi where a Harley Davidson Fat Bob motorcycle valued at 1.3 million baht was seized along with food supplement products owned by Aphirak.

 

4. A house at Phromphat Green Nova estate in Klong Samwa where a Porsche Boxster valued at 10 million baht and a Toyota Alphard vehicle worth 4 million baht were seized. 

 

The total value of the items seized by the DSI and anti money laundering group raids were 24.8 million baht. 

 

More victims of the pyramid selling scheme have been urged to come forward.

The only way to make sure that similar schemes will not happen again is to make sure that the people behind them will be put away for long, long time and all their worldly possessions will taken away from them, and maybe, just maybe, would be schemers get the message...

Well, I did not participate in this particular scheme but ... Aside from a promise of a 10% return monthly, I am thinking there is a potential in currency exchange during a period of such fluctuation/instability in global markets. Would appreciate any creditable comment on the subject.
