5,600 People Accuse iCon Group of 1.6 Billion Baht Scam
Picture courtesy: MGR online In a stunning turn of events, 5,600 individuals have lodged formal complaints, alleging losses of 1.6 billion baht linked to their dealings with The iCon Group's direct sales business. This growing scandal is now under the microscope of Thai authorities who are preparing to level money laundering charges against those involved. Complaints began surfacing between October 10th and 20th as people from across the nation, and even from overseas, came forward. So far, police have interviewed 2,822 individuals who claim a collective loss of approximately 965 million baht through investments in The iCon Group's dietary supplements. Police plan to implement additional charges against 18 suspects at The iCon Group, including allegations of money laundering, fraudulent borrowing, and unlawful assembly. Investigators hope to wrap up this aspect of the case by the end of the week. Furthermore, more arrests are on the horizon, including those of larger dealers overseeing smaller networks. Initially, accusations against The iCon Group involved public fraud and computer-related crimes for falsely presenting information. Many franchisees, having paid hefty sums for dealership rights, complain they were unable to move products as promised by the company during training sessions. Adding to the pressure, Thailand Consumer Protection Police Division has seized four vehicles tied to The iCon Group, including luxury Lexuses and a Toyota van. Among the claimants was a 70-year-old man from Macau, who attended a training session in Thailand last year. He invested 250,000 baht, attracted by a Thai acquaintance from Hong Kong who had his own stakes in the business. Now, rattled by emerging revelations, he too has filed his grievance in Bangkok. With each new complaint, the web surrounding The iCon Group grows more tangled, casting a shadow over the direct sales industry in Thailand, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-10-21 -

Thai Parties Dismiss Election Commission's Investigation into Thaksin
Picture courtesy: Thai Rath Petition over ex-premier's influence causing 'social unrest' Major Thai political parties have downplayed the Election Commission’s (EC) investigation into former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's alleged unlawful influence over the government. The petitions claim Thaksin exerted control over the ruling Pheu Thai Party and five other former coalition parties. The allegations stem from a meeting of the six party leaders at Thaksin's Ban Chan Song La residence in Bangkok on the day Srettha Thavisin was dismissed as Prime Minister. The EC has a 30-day deadline for the probe. Petitions from an anonymous individual, Thai Pakdee Party chairman Warong Dechgitvigrom, Ruangkrai Leekitwattana from the Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP), and Noppharut Worachitwutthikun from the Phirap Khao 2006 group, urge the EC to ask the court to dissolve all six parties for allegedly breaching Section 28 of the political parties’ law. Phumtham Wechayachai, Thailand's deputy prime minister and Pheu Thai Party leader, stated that the meeting was merely a gathering for a meal. Thaksin’s home is also the residence of his daughter, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the current Prime Minister. Discussions at the meeting concerned potential replacements for Mr Srettha Thavisin, but the next day, Pheu Thai opted for Ms Paetongtarn, who secured the parliamentary vote. Bhumjaithai Party leader Anutin Charnvirakul, also Deputy Prime Minister, expressed no concern over the probe. PM’s Office Minister Chousak Sirinil noted the government's readiness to counter the petitions, arguing the absence of Thaksin’s dominance, reported Bangkok Post. Democrat Party's Thepthai Senpong suggested the EC's decision to investigate may have been influenced by photos of party leaders at Thaksin's residence. Proving unlawful influence requires substantial evidence, which could prolong the legal process. -- 2024-10-21 -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
Yes. I have always said this is a possibility. It makes you go to them, rather than them chasing you. Make sense, doesn't it? Not being argumentative. TIT. How much do you think a TRD Officer will care what's on your phone at a boarder? Remember, you flight is leaving soon. You will pay, or miss your flight, and they know this. Why do you think it's unlikely? They have overstay desks. Why not TRD desks for a quick and easy few baht off foreigners who have stayed more than 180 days? They fine you 500 baht for 1 day overstay, why not some BS "tax" for being in Thailand for more than 180 days? You don't have to agree. I am not saying I am right and you are wrong. I am merely contemplating the Thai's milking the farang cow, and why, because they can. I have never said anything about lodging a tax return at a boarder. All I have ever said is "something" may need to be paid, either for an extension, or at a boarder. For some, that "something" may be a joke, compared to what what they should pay at law, and for others, who possibly should not have to pay anything at all, they may have to pay "something." TIT. You know the way it goes here. Money, Money, Money. -
