One of the people who allegedly defrauded a Finnish investor of $24 Million worth of Bitcoin (BTC), has recently been detained in Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok on charges of conspiracy to defraud and money laundering. Has anyone been following this at all? I would be interested to hear a legal perspective, as these charges aren't generally associated with bitcoin

He did scam or crimes?

I really don't kow what is all about but bitcoin has nothing to do woth scam but it can be used by scammers so don't make it into discssion which can affect the bitcoin's growth in somewhat.

That's right. Fraud is fraud, no matter what you stole. Given the massive amount, it doesn't look like the fraud being Bitcoin specifically is a very significant detail, but I guess blockchain evidence is nice. The scam itself is likely very elaborate and I hope they share more specific details in the future to prevent similar incidents.

Lol... I first thought that it was "the goat" (older members know about him). But then I noticed that he was having a Thai name. The goat I know is a western expat who is residing in Thailand. Just re-ignited my memories about the good old days of Bitcointalk. For the noobs, here is the goat:

Very good if fraudsters have been arrested, of course this reduces the level of fraudulent crime, so far many investors feel disappointed with fraud that happens everywhere.
Need to be punished for those who have committed fraud.

many really scammers have used bitcoin for their scam. here in my country there's also a synagogue, using the name of bitcoin to scam people. so we can take care of all of these people.
