泰国移民官员逮捕跨国加密货币诈骗网络

泰国移民官员逮捕了一个参与加密货币诈骗的团伙，该团伙诈骗了一名泰国妇女超过 62 万美元。

A group of individuals involved in a crypto scam that defrauded a Thai woman of more than $620,000 have been arrested by Thai immigration officials, local media reported on March 13.

据当地媒体 3 月 13 日报道，泰国移民官员逮捕了一群参与加密货币诈骗的人员，该诈骗案诈骗了一名泰国妇女超过 62 万美元。

The transnational network, comprising people from Thailand, Myanmar, and Cambodia, is said to have operated a fraudulent scheme that attracted the victim through social media before transferring her funds into an elaborate money-laundering operation.

该跨国网络由来自泰国、缅甸和柬埔寨的人员组成，据称实施了一项欺诈计划，通过社交媒体吸引受害者，然后将其资金转移到精心策划的洗钱活动中。

According to the reports, the crypto scam began in late 2023 when scammers targeted the victim, identified as Ms. Mallika, through a public Facebook group called “Investor Chat Room.”

据报道，加密货币诈骗始于 2023 年底，当时诈骗者通过一个名为“投资者聊天室”的公共 Facebook 群组瞄准了受害者（Mallika 女士）。

Promising high-yield investment advice, the group gained her trust, eventually convincing her to shift the conversation to the LINE messaging app. Here, scammers persuaded her to invest heavily in what they described as profitable cryptocurrency and stock trading portfolios.

该组织承诺提供高收益投资建议，赢得了她的信任，最终说服她将对话转移到 LINE 消息应用程序上。在这里，骗子说服她大量投资于他们所说的有利可图的加密货币和股票交易投资组合。

Over time, Ms. Mallika transferred around 21 million baht (approximately $621,000) across several accounts controlled by the network. In an attempt to establish credibility, the suspects occasionally sent her small profits, leading her to believe in the legitimacy of her investments.

随着时间的推移，Mallika 女士通过该网络控制的多个账户转移了约 2100 万泰铢（约合 621,000 美元）。为了建立信誉，犯罪嫌疑人偶尔会给她带来小额利润，让她相信自己投资的合法性。

At various points, she was told her portfolio needed time to grow or that additional funds were required for leverage trading, encouraging further investments.

在不同的时候，她被告知她的投资组合需要时间来增长，或者杠杆交易需要额外的资金，从而鼓励进一步的投资。

The investigation into the crypto scam revealed that the funds were funneled through a complex laundering system. Coordinated by a Burmese businessman operating a front company in Thailand, the network dispersed the money through several accomplices across Thailand, Myanmar, and Cambodia.

对加密骗局的调查显示，这些资金是通过复杂的洗钱系统转移的。在一名在泰国经营幌子公司的缅甸商人的协调下，该网络通过泰国、缅甸和柬埔寨的几名同谋将资金分散。

The pooled funds were ultimately used to acquire a luxury condominium valued at around 10 million baht in Bangkok’s Rama 9 district. Authorities believe the condominium was intended for quick resale.

筹集的资金最终用于在曼谷拉玛九区购买一套价值约 1000 万泰铢的豪华公寓。当局认为该公寓是为了快速转售。

“The group used multiple accounts to obscure the origin of the funds, with several members playing roles as couriers, financial handlers, and intermediaries,” said Pol. Maj. Gen. Panthana Nuchanarot, deputy commissioner of the Immigration Department.

波尔说：“该组织使用多个账户来掩盖资金来源，其中几名成员扮演快递员、财务处理人和中介人的角色。”移民局副局长潘塔纳·努查纳罗少将。

“Key individuals included Cambodian and Myanmar nationals, some of whom acted on instructions from higher-level coordinators within the scheme.”

“关键人物包括柬埔寨和缅甸国民，其中一些人是按照该计划内高层协调员的指示行事的。”

Based on the gathered evidence, Thai authorities obtained warrants from the South Bangkok Criminal Court, which led to arrests in various locations.

根据收集到的证据，泰国当局从曼谷南刑事法院获得了逮捕令，并在多个地点进行了逮捕。

Among those detained in the involvement with the crypto scam were Mr. Ko in Pathum Thani, Mr. Moon at a Saraburi factory, Ms. San at a luxury condominium, Ms. Thuay at Don Mueang airport, and Mr. Win on Ratchadamri Road. Further questioning has led to an additional warrant for another Burmese national under investigation.

因参与加密货币诈骗而被拘留的人包括巴吞他尼府的 Ko 先生、北标府一家工厂的 Moon 先生、豪华公寓的 San 女士、廊曼机场的 Thuay 女士以及 Ratchadamri 路的 Win 先生。进一步讯问导致另一名缅甸国民受到额外逮捕令接受调查。

The suspects face public fraud charges, identity theft, and entering false information into a computer system. All arrested individuals in the crypto scam have been transferred to Bang Rak Police Station for continued investigation as officials explore additional involvement by Thai nationals.

嫌疑人面临公共欺诈、身份盗窃以及向计算机系统输入虚假信息的指控。所有在加密骗局中被捕的人都已被转移到 Bang Rak 警察局继续调查，官员们正在探索泰国国民的更多参与情况。
