A Buddhist nun has been detained by police from the Metropolitan Police Bureau’s Investigation Division( IDMB ) on suspicion of fraud after luring people to invest in a phony cloud storage rental company and inflating computers with false information, harming victims for more than one million baht.
The woman, Pattana Duangchana, 69, of the Phothong area in the state of Ang Thong, was detained on Saturday at the Nasoka Vipasshana Thitthammo meditation center in tambon Mu Si, Pak Chong neighborhood, Nakhon Ratchasima state, according to Pol Maj Gen Teeradet Thammasuthee, the IDMB chief.
Following an investigation by IDMB police into 3,531 complaints to the Department of Special Investigation( DSI ), the nun was taken into custody. The plaintiffs claimed that Concept Series Company Limited had tricked them into making an investment in a business that rented out cloud store.
