Thai police cut out the middleman (criminals) and extort crypto directly

Sharing is Caring!

A police spokesman said, ‘If you want the job done properly, do it yourself.’

BANGKOK — Seven suspects, including six rogue police officers and on civilian, were arrested on Wednesday for staging a fake passport investigation and attempting to extort 10 million USDT from a Chinese-Vanuatu citizen. Two suspects who acted as interpreters remain at large.

The case has shaken the credibility of the Thai police force. On October 30, a group of nine police officers and three civilians were involved in staging a fake investigation of foreigners in Thailand and attempting to extort money through fraudulent legal threats. They were all subsequently arrested.
