The Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) has raided two locations in Bangkok where a suspected Chinese cryptocurrency scammer operates.
CCIB chief, Pol Lt Gen Worawat Watnakhonbancha, said on Wednesday that his officers searched a house in the Rama IX area of Saphan Sung district, belonging to a Chinese man identified as Su Peng Fei.
Assets found at the house, worth over 300 million baht, were confiscated. However, the housekeeper told officers that Mr Su was out of the country.
The second house raided was in Kanchanaphisek Soi 12 in Saphan Sung district.
The building was used as an office for Xin Rui Technology Co Ltd. Police believe Mr Su used money from the cryptocurrency scam to buy the house.
