Thai law enforcement authorities have detained a youthful married duo for their involvement in a significant cryptocurrency fraudulent scheme. Both individuals, identified as Samruay and Amornsiri, aged 29, were taken into custody in Nakhon Ratchasima province. The police alleged that the couple was complicit in establishing bank accounts where funds pilfered from a deceitful cryptocurrency investment ploy were funneled. Cybercrime investigators disclosed that the pair confessed to being remunerated 5,000 baht each for setting up these accounts. To secure access to the accounts for substantial monetary transfers, they had to undergo facial recognition scans in Cambodia. Acting as go-betweens, they assisted in concealing the illicit origins of this money, which was illicitly obtained through cryptocurrency scams before being channeled into their bank accounts. Additionally, authorities have confiscated assets worth more than 125 million baht stemming from cryptocurrency scam incidents as part of the crackdown. The married couple is currently facing charges related to fraud, cybercrimes, and money laundering. The law enforcement bureau cautioned that facilitating financial dealings for criminal organizations may lead to severe legal consequences.
