In the capital of Thailand, Bangkok, police detained a citizen of South Korea, known as Han, who is suspected of involvement in a large -scale scheme of cryptocurrency fraud. Gizmodo writes about it.

According to Thai law enforcement officers, Han was one of the key participants in a network of counterfeit call centers who promised their investors from 30% to 50%. Initially, the victims were paid small amounts to cause trust, and subsequently imposed restrictions on withdrawal.

Within three months, Han allegedly accumulated $ 47.3 million in Tether stiblins tied to the US dollar. He used these funds to buy gold ingots weighing more than 10 kg each. The cost of individual transactions exceeded $ 1 million. According to police, gold was a means of converting digital assets into physical goods that could be moved across borders without detection.

After the complaints from the victims, in February, the Thai Criminal Court issued a warrant for the arrest of Khan and his accomplices. A total of 11 people were detained in the case. Khana was arrested at Bangkok Airport Suvenabhumi, he is charged with fraud, issuing himself for another person, cybercrime, laundering and participating in a criminal group.

According to the TRM Labs analytical company, in 2024, cryptocurrency victims in the world have lost $ 10.7 billion. Experts emphasize that the anonymity and instantaneousness of crypto transactions contribute to the spread of transnational fraud schemes.
