Thai authorities arrest suspect of bitcoin fraud
A 27-year-old actor is the main suspect in a group of seven cybercriminals who have been accused of an alleged case of money laundering for $ 24 million in cryptocurrencies
Thai authorities identified a group of seven cybercriminals involved in a supposed case of money laundering in bitcoin in the amount of 24 million dollars.
The 27-year-old actor identified as Jiratpisit “Boom” Jaravijit was arrested for the case, who denies any connection with the event. However, since mid-July the authorities have been following up on a complaint that involves fraudulent investments of 797 million baht.
The Division of Crime Suppression has indicated that the criminals removed BTC from their wallets and converted it into baht. The story is complicated and involves other nations, as the suspect would have promised investors the loot of the Russian warship Dmitri Donskoi, which sank 113 years ago. The deception consisted on reimbursing them with the gold of this ship.
Although there is no certainty that the alleged loot has any value, the implicated managed to attract investors who contributed some 60,000 million won, which equates to 53.7 million dollars.
Thai authorities remain vigilant in this case and investigate any suspicious aspects related to crimes in cryptocurrencies.
