Thai police have arrested a South Korean man accused of helping a call center gang launder more than $50 million in cryptocurrency into gold.
Thailand's Technology Crime Department said police arrested Mr. Han, 33, at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport on Saturday on a warrant issued in February. He faces charges of fraud, computer crimes, money laundering and involvement in a criminal group.
The case stems from a massive call center scam that took place in early 2024. Victims were lured into "investment opportunities" promising 30 to 50 percent returns. Initial gains created a false sense of security, but as deposits increased, withdrawals were blocked on the grounds that investors failed to meet requirements.
Dozens of complaints eventually reached the TCSD and triggered an investigation that has now led to the arrest of 10 suspects, including five suspected money launderers and five money mule account holders.
