Fraud complaint lodged against famous life coach by official in Chiang Mai
13 Sept 12:12Key points summarised by AI
A fraud complaint was filed against famous life coach Sean Buranahirun by a Chiang Mai official, accusing him of illegal fundraising and defrauding the public.
Sean allegedly solicited over 1.4 million baht in donations for forest fire efforts in Doi Suthep, but officials claim they never received the funds.
Donations were wired into Sean's personal bank account between March and May, with some funds subsequently transferred to his company's account.
Sean responded to a police summons, claiming he used some donations to purchase N95 face masks for distribution and committed to delivering 1.3 million baht to the Chiang Mai governor.
