Crime German Man Held Over $1.1M Crypto Scam
Pictures courtesy of Khaosod - arrested suspect Alex. A retired Australian police officer has praised Thai police after they arrested a German national accused of swindling him and his Thai wife out of more than $1.1 million in a cryptocurrency scam. Michael 65, expressed his gratitude at Udon Thani City Police Station on 2 August, thanking officers in Thai and presenting flowers to Police Lieutenant Colonel Pattanawong Janphon. “I’m very happy. The police are excellent,” he said. Picture of the victims. Michael and his 50-year-old wife, Areerut, filed a complaint on 17 July, alleging that the suspect, identified only as 38-year-old “Alex” from Germany, had defrauded them using a fake online trading platform that mimicked a legitimate cryptocurrency investment site. The couple met Alex via social media over a year ago and later travelled to Phuket to meet him in person. Convinced by the professional appearance of the website and the promise of high returns, they invested heavily in the scheme. Screenshot of the alleged website. But when they attempted to withdraw funds and then lost contact with Alex, they realised they had been conned. The total loss included a significant portion of Michael’s police pension. Police investigators traced the money trail and located the suspect, who had fled his Phuket residence. He was arrested by Immigration Police Division 6 at a fitness club in southern Thailand after failing to respond to a summons. An arrest warrant had been issued on 23 July. Alex now faces charges of computer fraud and public deception. He denies the allegations, claiming his mobile phone was stolen and that he, too, was a victim. Thai authorities are urging others who may have been defrauded by Alex to contact their local police or Udon Thani City Police on 042-221077. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-08-03 -
