Vietnamese woman arrested in Thailand on suspicion of involvement in $300 million cryptocurrency fraud

According to CoinDesk, Vietnamese woman Ngo Thi Theu was arrested in Thailand last Friday on suspicion of involvement in a $300 million cryptocurrency fraud case. Ngo Thi Theu, 30, is a key figure in the fraud network, which involves 35 supervisors and over 1000 employees operating 44 call centers in Vietnam. The police stated that scammers lured 2600 victims into investing in fake cryptocurrency and forex trading platforms by promising a monthly return rate of 20% -30%. About 21.2% of Vietnam's population (100 million people) invest in cryptocurrency, making it a high-risk area for fraud. Interpol has previously issued a red notice for Ngo Thi Theu.
