Two Thai Celebs Claim Actor’s Investment Scheme Cost Them Millions

Two Thai celebrities — 26-year-old Kittiphat “Gun” Lerk-ukot and 24-year-old Pratchayakarn “Mudmee” Promkling — have accused a fellow actor of orchestrating an investment scam that defrauded them and others in the entertainment industry of millions of baht. They approached the non-profit organisation Saimai Survive to report how the actor allegedly promised strong returns from a purported investment vehicle but failed to deliver any legitimate outcome. The scam reportedly targeted young figures in the creative sphere, leveraging their trust and insider connections. The accused actor is now facing multiple civil and criminal complaints, as victims seek recovery of their funds. The case spotlights the increasing vulnerabilities of celebrities when drawn into high-risk investment schemes.
