Officials are preparing to look into Kornkanok Suwannabut’s, more popularly known as” Mae Tuck,” gold shop company to see if it is being run as a top to launder money.

Ms. Kornkanok and her husband Kanpol are accused of selling jewelry with lower silver content than what was revealed during live-streaming sessions on her interpersonal media network. According to reports, she claimed her father owned the jewelry line.

The users, who are believed to number in the hundreds, have flocked to the child’s gold factory in Bangkok to require payments.

However, the store insisted that it would only accept returns for purchases made in total along with the gifts that were included in the product package.

The Anti-Money Laundering Office ( Amlo ) announced on Saturday that it would investigate whether Mae Tuck’s gold ornaments sold during her online appearances were genuine.

The Amlo may even look into Ms Kornkanok’s “unusually great” financial position, said Wittaya Neetitham, the chairman of the company’s legal office. No additional details were attainable.

He added that the Amlo will examine whether or not the person involved in the money laundering has any connections.

The Consumer Protection Police and the Office of the Consumer Protection Board are conducting an investigation into the situation, which the company anticipates receiving more details about.

According to Mr. Wittaya, the Amlo will also examine whether any property connected to the accused might have been acquired improperly.

If there is sufficient evidence to support money laundering allegations, it may acquire any resources it suspects may have been acquired improperly, he added.
