Ponzi scheme suspect cuffed at temple

A person who is alleged to be one of the suspects in the Pathum Thani district’s Khlong Luang district’s Khlong Luang district’s Khlong Luang region has been detained at a temple.

Pol Maj Gen Teeradej Thamsuthee, chief of the Metropolitan Police Bureau ( MPB), said Pimprapassorn Jaemjaras, 44, was arrested on Saturday&nbsp, on a warrant issued in March last year by a court in Surat Thani. &nbsp, &nbsp,

Authorities believe she is a key part of a party behind OD Capital, which was exposed as a Ponzi system in 2019, he said, and that she is accused of colluding to scams. &nbsp,

Investors were enticed by the scheme’s promise of a return of at least 10 %.

Subjects in Surat Thani who lost more than 5 million ringgit filed complaints with the authorities when the fraud was discovered. When she refused to acknowledge the claims, the judge granted her arrest warrant.

After months of investigation, authorities found that while she was known to change her hairstyle frequently, perhaps to mask her appaerance, she often visited a nicely- known temple in Pathum Thani.

On Saturday, undercover officers were ordered to meet a merit-making action at the temple, where they spotted Ms. Pimprapassorn and arrested her.

The think denied the allegations and defended the purchase plan as being strong, according to Pol Maj Gen Teeradej. She claimed to have persuaded individuals to spend, and that she received a monthly return of 7 % of her investment. &nbsp,

But, the company began having financial difficulties in 2018 and stopped paying dividends. After first doubting, Ms Pimprapassorn was handed over to authorities in Surat Thani, he said.

Authorities said they were looking for 48 suspects during a crackdown on Ponzi schemes in 2018, but just 38 people were detained for extorting patients out of up to 10 billion baht.
