Mazda3 Posted October 13, 2018 #1 Posted October 13, 2018 In Thailand, Prinya Jaravijit, the main suspect in the case of creating a fraudulent scheme, was arrested by a group of intruders from the Finnish investor of 5,564 Bitcoins (about $ 24 million) as an investment in an allegedly promising company. After the suspect's younger brother was arrested, the famous television actor Jiratpisit “Boom” Jaravijit, also implicated in this scam, Prithia left Bangkok and lived in the USA. During the month, the police demanded the main suspect to appear for questioning, however, Prinhia ignored these demands. As a result, at the request of the Crime Prevention Division, the country's Foreign Ministry revoked his passport, after which the stay of the alleged organizer of the fraudulent scheme in the United States became illegal and he had to return to Bangkok. The suspect was detained at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport on 11 October. Immediately after his arrest, Prinja Jarawiyit was brought to court, which issued an order to arrest him on suspicion of criminal fraud and money laundering. Initially, the victim Aarni Otava Saarimaa (Aarni Otava Saarimaa) filed an application for two more businessmen, but later withdrew him, in connection with which only members of the Jarawiyit family remained suspected. Two brothers are now under arrest, and the younger sister and parents are required to appear in court on Monday to testify about the charges of money laundering. It is worth noting that this incident was widely publicized in the media, in connection with which the Bank of Thailand was forced to defend cryptocurrency, explaining that the scheme of deception itself is not related to digital assets.

I never thought these scammers still risked legal trouble/getting caught. Perhaps the guy messed up and left a lead, who knows how he got caught, or how they got him. With btc being anonymous and all.
