฿815m in public donations has been transferred to ‘Do Good Foundation’, over ฿500m allegedly misused

Public donations totaling ฿815 million to the 'Do Good Foundation' were largely diverted, with ฿527 million allegedly misused for personal gain.
Investigations reveal funds were transferred from foundation accounts to private accounts of Panadda Wongphudee and her husband, Atip, used for luxury items, investments, and property like a Phuket pool villa.
Police traced contractor payments for the pool villa, finding ฿99 million transferred back to the suspects' accounts, while the foundation also failed to submit legally required annual financial statements.
Panadda and Atip, who leveraged their public image to solicit donations, deny all charges; Atip's bail was rejected, and Panadda agreed to be held on remand.
