Abstract:Bangkok police arrested a male model Suraphit Pakahan, who was involved in a forex scam that deceived investors out of over 10 million baht.
Authorities in Bangkok have effectively captured 30-year-old male model Suraphit Pakahan, who was involved in a significant foreign exchange (Forex) trading fraud. After being apprehended in a posh condo in Thon Buri, Pakahan is charged with defrauding investors of over 10 million baht by using a sophisticated internet identity.
Defrauded investors posted comprehensive accounts of their experiences on the IDMB Facebook page, prompting the arrest. According to their assessment, Pakahan persuaded them to engage in his Forex trading endeavor by using his fame and presumably reliable reputation. His bogus claims of financial competence were supported by photoshopped posts on social media that purported to show him attending training sessions and seminars.
According to Police Major General Theeradet Thumsuthee, the suspect was previously sought for comparable offenses, including check fraud, according to an arrest warrant issued by the Don Mueang Kwaeng High Court. Pakahan also had sixteen arrest warrants for similar fraudulent actions pending, according to a background check.
In actuality, the situation was quite different from his assertions that he would use the money raised for Forex trading. Investing was not as profitable as it had seemed, and investors suffered significant financial losses when they discovered this and tried in vain to get their money back.
Based on evidence from his research, Pakahan departed Thailand on November 30, 2022, and flew to Istanbul, Turkey. After his disappearance, authorities conducted a more extensive search since there was no more evidence suggesting that he had returned to Thailand. The latest information regarding his presence in a posh apartment allowed for both their ultimate arrest and the planned assault.
Pakahan revealed his history in the entertainment industry when being questioned by the police. At the age of 19, he started his career as a model. He then pursued stock trading and online business. He said that his departure from the country in 2022 was owing to financial troubles that followed a year-long study of English language in the United Kingdom. It seems that he delayed his return out of concern that he would face legal repercussions for his deceptive behavior.
Paradoxically, Pakahan described how a Malaysian lady in England helped him get over immigration checks and go back to Thailand via Malaysia. Pakahan was charged with a crime after being taken into custody and turned over to the public prosecutors at the Don Mueang Kwaeng Court.
