Authorities in Bangkok's Huai Khwang district have received complaints from 247 victims, alleging financial fraud under the Checks Offenses Act of 1991. The damages, estimated at 7.5 billion baht, involve investments solicited by brokers claiming to represent Dr. Boon Vanasin and his family. Victims were encouraged to invest in medical-related projects, such as cancer centers, wellness facilities, and hospitals in Laos and Vietnam.
Dr. Boon reportedly bolstered credibility through public promotions via media and online platforms, offering high returns and issuing checks signed by himself and guaranteed by family members. However, banks declined to honor these checks upon maturity. Investigations revealed that the projects were fabricated, and the activities constituted fraud, illegal lending, and money laundering.
On November 22, 2567, the Bangkok Criminal Court issued warrants for Dr. Boon and eight accomplices, based on evidence presented by the Metropolitan Police Division 1. Six suspects were apprehended the same day. Authorities are expanding the investigation to capture remaining suspects, seize assets, and compensate victims.
