Fraudulent scheme: Thai model Emmy Maxim and secretary sentenced

[webfact]

 

A prominent 37 year old model, Amonwan or “Emmy Maxim”, and her personal secretary, Jariya, have been ordered by the court to serve two-month and 40-day detention respectively for their involvement in a fraudulent share scheme.

 

Their victims included ten individuals who collectively filed a lawsuit after suffering significant financial losses. The initial court ruling dismissed the charges, which prompted the plaintiffs to appeal.

 

The appellate court revised the sentence, imposing a total of ten years and eight months imprisonment on Amonwan and 84 months and 40 days on Jariya, in addition to financial restitution to the victims. Both defendants appealed against their sentences and were granted bail.

 

Amonwan, known widely as “Emmy Maxim”, is a well-known actress and model. She, along with her secretary, administered a share trading group named “Baan Tor Ngern Pha Ruay” on Facebook and Instagram.

I think it is always interesting when people trust celebrities in some totally unrelated field.

What gave you the idea that an actress and model had any idea about share trading?

Or: Would you ask a share trader for advice how to act and model?

I wonder how she'll look in prison brown with no makeup? ????

There are some showbiz personalities in the US who promoted cyber currencies, now they are in trouble.

There could be more to this, maybe she should be probed a bit more.

This is some nonsense, something missing from this and the original article which was supplied.

 

From the Thaiger article :

Quote

The appellate court revised the sentence, imposing a total of ten years and eight months imprisonment on Amonwan and 84 months and 40 days on personal secretary Jariya, in addition to financial restitution to the victims. Both defendants appealed against their sentences and were granted bail.

Then this little gem :

 

Quote

The court reduced the sentences of both defendants by one-third due to their favourable investigative conduct, as per Article 78 of the Penal Code.

The final sentence for Amonwan was two months, while her secretary received a 40-day sentence.

What? How?
