Fengshui master arrested for alleged B100m fraud

A well-known fengshui master was detained by police on Monday morning in Bangkok for alleged public fraud after accusations that he had failed to deliver his promised “auspicious objects” &nbsp, which totaled about 100 million baht.

One person claimed to have lost 60 million ringgit.

Thanawan Jiracharoenwes was arrested near his house in Pathum Thani state, just northwest of Bangkok, early on Monday.

According to the Criminal Court’s arrest warrant, Mr. Thanawan, who had a number of thousand social media followers, was taken to the Bangkok headquarters of the Crime Suppression Division ( CSD ) for questioning and taken there on a charge of public fraud. &nbsp,

About 50 people have complained to the CSD, alleging that they lost about 100 million baht in full from the fengshui expert, who had given them advice to finish their bad luck by holding rites and purchasing “auspicious things” quoted at seven-digit costs. &nbsp,

They claimed that Mr. Thanawan’s goods were no distributed to them frequently.

A 77-year-old girl who reported to police that she alone had lost about 60 million ringgit to the suspect was one of the plaintiffs.
