Perfect storm batters Loong Phol

Many believed that things would drastically change after the Criminal Court ruling on December 20, but even they had not expected that it would be such a spectacular free fall for Chaiyaphol Wipa, the key suspect in the Nong Chompoo case.

In less than a week, his family’s two YouTube accounts that had a combined subscribers far beyond half a million thanks to frequent clips and livestreams have been mysteriously deleted, and a new account registered as an emergency followed suit within hours. Loyal YouTubers owning other accounts have either gone into the monkhood or publicly pledged to end their activities of attacking his enemies. Major mainstream media outlets have turned completely against him.

The authorities are being urged by former senior police officers to investigate the family’s tax records. Defamation lawsuits against his YouTubers are accumulating. An old money-laundering suspicion is getting fresh attention.
