Thai YouTuber Natthamon "Nutty" Khongchak Arrested in Indonesia for Forex Scam

After two years of escape, Natthamon “Nutty” Khongchak, the Thai YouTuber suspected of Forex scam, was arrested in Dumai, Indonesia, on the 18th of this month, along with her mother.

 

Thai National Police Chief Pol Gen Kitrat Phanphet, investigators from the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau, and officials from the Thai Immigration Bureau worked together with Indonesian police and Interpol to discuss details of the case.

 

Natthamon and her mother Thaniya Khongchak, who are facing fraud charges, will be extradited to Thailand.

 

Two years ago, Natthamon ran her channel “Nutty's Diary,” which attracted more than 800,000 subscribers with videos of her K-pop dancing. Earlier, she had also appeared on several TV shows.

She started to cash her fame with foreign exchange to attract investment. She made promises that she would give investors a 25% return in 3 months, 30% in 6 months, and 35% in a year. Natthamon even promised to pay the return on a monthly basis.

 

In this way, Natthamon swindled two billion baht from more than 6,000 victims. She then fled to Indonesia with her mother, and her private assistant, Nichaphat Rattanukrom.

 

In August 2022, Thai lawyer Phaisal Ruangrit was taken on by 30 victims to sue the trio in court.
