Most people who boarded the train are not victims but co-perpetrators.

They convinced newcomers to join the pyramid scheme. Why did they do it? Because they are as greedy and unscrupulous as iCon group directors. The more members they brought, the richer they got.

Most of the complainants are, in reality, co-perpetrators and are filing complaints as a tool to avoid criminal charges against themselves.
For years they criminally brought more people into the pyramid scheme and benefited from it. Now, the house of cards has vanished and they wore the victim veil.

In summary, most people who joined the scheme from 2018 to 2022, as well as all celebrities benefiting from it, should be prosecuted. They are not victims but co-perpetrators.

Duel pricing is not a punishment for foreigners, it is a discount for Thai people !
