More than 20 victims accumulated a loss exceeding 20 million baht (US$578,035) due to fraudulent investment practices by a renowned online share investor from U Thong District, Suphanburi province. The victims, who initially met at the law enforcement centre today, are asking for justice and compensation. They claim the fraudster continues to live a luxurious lifestyle after serving a one-year prison sentence.

 

Thamanan Taengtim, also known as Ja King, brought more than 20 victims together to file a complaint at the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB). They reported being duped by a notorious online share investor from U Thong district, causing them a loss of over 20 million baht. The victims presented evidence of their money transfer transactions and conversations enticing them to invest.

 

One of the victims, named A, stated that she started investing in shares via the fraudster’s online platform in 2016 after seeing advertisements promising high returns on Facebook. Initially, seeing real profits, she continued to invest until 2021. This year, the notorious online investor was charged with theft and perjury, serving one year in prison, before being released in 2022, reported KhaoSod.
