Thailand's Cybercrime Investigation Bureau has arrested five foreign nationals for organizing a fraudulent cryptocurrency investment scheme. This is reported by local media.

Victims of a platform called bchgloballtd.com at least 3,280 people were killed. They started contacting the police in November 2022, claiming that they were tricked into investing in gold and the USDT stablecoin.

In total, the damage caused by the platform's activities exceeded $27 million.

The Prosecutor General's Office of Thailand came to the organizers of the scheme in August 2023. They turned out to be four Chinese citizens and one Laotian.

The defendants are charged with conspiracy to commit a transnational crime, public fraud and money laundering. The Anti-Money Laundering Agency confiscated 585 million baht ($16.4 million) worth of their personal property.
