Bangkok bombshell: Chilling find at iCon Group office turns heads

[snoop1130]

 

Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) officers dashed to the scene this afternoon after a resident made a chilling discovery at the iCon Group office in Soi Ramintra 9, Bang Khen district, Bangkok. What first appeared to be a hazardous bomb left locals trembling in shock but turned out to be a well-crafted fake.

 

The bomb packed ominously in a black briefcase, was found at a security guard’s shelter. Inside, two sticks were wrapped in brown paper and linked with electric wires, each stick measuring about 10 inches long. This convincing device quickly set alarm bells ringing, prompting a swift response from both Bang Khen police and EOD officers.

 

According to the security guards, the object had been placed at the location for three days. However, no one had dared to check on it. The guards did not see the suspicious person who left the object in that spot.

 

EOD officers cordoned off the area for the safety of residents and began to disable the bomb. Fortunately, the officers determined that it was merely a fake explosive. The device was made of PVC pipes wrapped in brown paper and contained no circuits.

Police planned to review security camera footage from the office and surrounding areas to identify the person responsible for this incident.

 

It is believed that the fake bomb was placed at the scene following the scandal and Ponzi scheme accusations made against the company. Some people who lost money in the company’s investments might have intended to prank and spread panic among the company’s employees.

 

Following recent updates on the case, 18 key members of the company, including the CEO and three well-known celebrities, were arrested yesterday, October 16. They were questioned regarding accusations of fraud and Ponzi scheme operations, all of which the suspects denied.

 

Shocking revelations from multiple victims and former members have exposed iCon Group Group’s dodgy business model, which appears to mirror a Ponzi scheme. Many investors lost their life savings, with some even driven to suicide by the unbearable stress of their financial ruin.

The alertness of some people is mind boggling.

"two sticks", see picture...

It's always nice to have accurate reporting. What else did they get wrong?

Would you prefer a 30 minute security queue at each BTS and MRT station?  I'll gladly take my chances...

Yet the unseen person is known to be suspicious? 🤔

As has been clearly reported in many media, bail was denied for all of them, partly due to flight risk, so no, they have not been released.
