Crime Crypto Launderer Arrested in Bangkok for Aiding Call Centre Scam Syndicate
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Thai cybercrime authorities have arrested a 28-year-old man in connection with a major money laundering operation linked to a notorious call centre scam syndicate and illegal online gambling networks, involving the exchange of over 300 million baht worth of illicit cryptocurrency. Mr Supakorn, also known as “Tee”, was apprehended by officers from the Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD) at a building on Phahonyothin Road in the Chatuchak district of Bangkok. The arrest was made under a warrant issued by the Criminal Court (No. 2996/2568, dated 23 May 2025). The suspect faces multiple charges, including public fraud by impersonation, inputting false data into computer systems, money laundering and being part of a criminal organisation. Police investigation revealed that Supakorn acted as a key money launderer for a scam ring responsible for defrauding victims through fake cryptocurrency investment platforms, including one called “FOX Wallet” hosted at a fraudulent website: https://foxwallet-co.co-cash.com. One known victim reportedly lost 1.8 million baht after being lured via TikTok to invest in the scam. Authorities found that funds were being laundered through various methods, immediate cash withdrawals from “mule” bank accounts, transfers via TrueMoney Wallet and conversion into cryptocurrencies, notably USDT (Tether). The ill-gotten funds were then used to purchase luxury cars and other high-value assets. Supakorn is alleged to have exchanged over 30 million baht worth of illicit funds into USDT, transferring the cryptocurrency into wallets controlled by Chinese ringleaders. Police uncovered evidence of transactions involving multiple personal and mule accounts, with total circulation in illegal USDT trades exceeding 300 million baht. This operation was part of a broader crackdown dubbed “FOX Hunt,” which previously led to the arrest of eight individuals, both Thai and Chinese nationals, and the seizure of over 3 million baht in assets. Although Supakorn denies knowledge that the funds came from fraudulent activity, investigators believe he was fully aware of the criminal origins of the money, citing the high frequency and large volume of suspicious transactions using various accounts. He has been handed over to investigators for formal legal proceedings. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-30. -

Accident Medical Faculty Minibus Crashes into Lamp Post in Suphan Buri, Driver Critically Injured
Picture courtesy of Komchadluek. A crash occurred late morning on 29 May, when a minibus driver, carrying medical students from Ramathibodi Hospital’s Faculty of Medicine lost control and crashed into a central reservation lamp post outside the Suphan Buri Provincial Administration Organisation. The incident, reported at approximately 11.30, prompted an immediate response from local police and emergency services. Police Lieutenant Anchisa Satitsolot of Mueang Suphan Buri Police Station, along with a rescue team, rushed to the scene. The vehicle involved, a silver Toyota minibus registered to Ramathibodi Hospital, was found severely damaged, particularly on the front-right side, after slamming into a concrete streetlight. Three individuals were trapped inside the wreckage, including the driver, who sustained critical injuries. Emergency personnel used hydraulic cutting tools to extract the victims before providing first aid and transporting them to Chao Phraya Yommarat Hospital. According to hospital staff, the minibus was being driven by Mr Thossaphon, who had been assigned to collect medical students completing an internship at Sriprachan Hospital. They were en route back to Bangkok when the driver suddenly veered off course, mounted the median, and crashed violently into the lamp post. Eyewitnesses from the local Department of Highways, who were resting next to the lamp post during their lunch break, described the moment of terror. One worker recounted: “We were sitting just behind the lamp post on the median strip when the van suddenly swerved and crashed right into it. I jumped away instinctively. If that lamp post hadn’t stopped it, we might all have been killed.” Miraculously, the group of six to seven workers escaped unharmed. As of now, the cause of the crash remains unclear. The driver, due to his injuries, has yet to provide a statement. Police have launched an investigation and are in the process of collecting evidence and witness testimonies to determine the exact circumstances leading up to the collision.
