-- Thai authorities issued an arrest warrant for YouTube star "Nutty" for a $55 million scam.
-- Nutty advertised forex trader courses and flaunted images of her purported profits to Instagram.
-- In her account's last post in May, Nutty said she owed 1 billion baht ($27.5 million) to investors.

 

Thai authorities have issued an arrest warrant for Natthamon "Nutty" Khongchak, an influencer and YouTuber they say scammed followers out of 2 billion baht (about $55 million) in a foreign exchange trading scam, before fleeing the country.

 

Nutty, who frequently posted dancing and singing videos to her 847,000 YouTube followers, also claimed to be a successful forex trader in her Instagram bio and posted advertisements for private forex trading courses to the platform.

 

She also claimed to be able to deliver major returns to her investors -- promising 25% returns on 3-month contracts and 30% returns on 6-month contracts, according to Asian trading site NextShark.

Now she is likely lying on a beach outside Thailand, beside that wimpy Thai who

mowed down a policeman 10 years ago, with his Porsche, trying to scam him !
