BANGKOK – A huge pile of money was displayed at a press conference held on Tuesday at the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau’s (CCIB) headquarters in Muang Thong Thani when cyber police announced the results of “Operation Black Hat,” a crackdown on a criminal network that lured elderly people into investing in cryptocurrency. 

They seized assets worth 125 million baht.

Pol. Lt. Gen. Worawat Wattanakornbancha, Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau commissioner, said that the case originated from complaints filed last year by victims who were deceived into investing in digital assets or cryptocurrency by scammers using fake profiles. The victims were unable to withdraw their investments, resulting in losses of over 530 million baht.
