Thai YouTuber Natthamon Khongchak, known as Nutty, was arrested in Indonesia after two years on the run. She is accused of scamming followers out of £47 million by posing as a foreign exchange trader. Natthamon fled Thailand in 2022 after complaints from over 6,000 victims. She was caught when immigration officials became suspicious of her accent and discovered she could not sing the national anthem. Both Natthamon and her mother were deported to Thailand on October 2. They are now in police custody facing charges related to financial fraud involving significant losses for investors.
