A well-known broker with political connections has been accused by around 100 people of defrauding them of at least one billon ringgit through a foreign exchange trading scam. The Department of Special Investigation is being asked to look into the allegations.
The victims filed a complaint against the accused, who was not named, with DSI key Suriya Singhakamol on Friday thanks to attorney Ronnarong Kaewphet.
Given the accused’s relationships, the plaintiffs decided to take their case to the DSI out of concern that intervention may occur. In an effort to increase the trust of those looking to invest with him, Mr. Ronnarong noted that the man had his portrait taken with some well-known people and a minister from one of the major political parties.
According to Arunsri Wichawut, chairman of the Special Case Management Bureau, the DSI accepted the funding fraud issue as a unique case because the problems exceeded 100 million baht and there were also more than 100 sufferers. According to her, investigators did set dates for victims to provide statements and provide evidence, and others can also file complaints on the DSI site.
The accused seller was a well-known Doctorate holder who used Dhamma teaching to teach people how to trade currencies, according to the victims’ representative. The team’s agent, who requested anonymity, added that he also asserted to possess the most sophisticated tools for assisting in the prediction of exchange rates for foreign currencies.
Many individuals who had experienced a loss of income wanted to work during the Covid-19 crisis. They chose to spend with the broker based on his page and reputation. Some people attempted to raise money by selling their homes and taking out subject activities to invest in forex trading, but they were duped. According to the member, some patients wanted to commit suicide.
According to the consultant, a recent photo that has gone viral online shows the accused stockbroker also leading sane, contented existence and dining with the cabinet minister.
He requested that the DSI assist in finding the accused’s hidden resources and seizing them in order to cover the victims.
