Four principal suspects, including alleged ringleader Mr. Apirak Kotethi, face charges for defrauding over 14,000 investors of an estimated 1.9 billion baht through promises of high returns.
An additional 20 individuals, including seven entertainment celebrities, have been charged with money laundering related to the scam, with DSI summoning them for questioning.
