Thailand's self styled "Cyber Cops" or online technology police held a press conference to announce the arrest of a Thai woman who ran two Ponzi schemes known as "len share" in Thai.

 

Thidawan or Thannaphat Bunklao was arrested in Huay Khot district of Uthai Thani on a Nonthaburi warrant for fraud.

 

Also arrested was a man called Akkarin Pinyokanchanaphat for possession of an unregistered weapon and ammunition. 

 

The case came about after a 17 year old M6 (sixth form) student robbed a gold shop at knifepoint in the Bangkok area last weekend.

 

She was soon captured.

 

She had lost 50,000 baht after believing an Instagram post that she could get 20% daily interest by making an investment.

 

The money was bequeathed to her by her father who died. 

 

Dozens of others also fell victim to the schemes, reported Daily News yesterday.

"that caused Thai teen to rob gold shop after losses". His poor decision to rob the gold shop is the cause.

She is only 17, not exactly 'experienced' in protecting money

[Dont confuse me]

My ex along with most of her family and relatives put their money into Amway.

I accompanied her to their offices, I'm not going to risk saying anything other than wow! 

I managed to persuade her to pull out, unfortunately her brother didn't, long story short he's doing 5 years for robberies committed attempting to recoup his loses.

It's not difficult to persuade poor, uneducated people to part with their money. When promised easy wealth.

17 is more than old enough to have known this was a scam

the second you start accepting this to be okay/normal to fall for this, is when no one will ever learn. 
she was 17, should have known better, I have no remorse for someone who gave their money to some person promising them 20% daily returns, that was simply greed + being careless.

Amway is a con and has always been a con.
