The report says he fled to Thailand and hid in Bangkok; Thai authorities revoked his permission to stay and began searching for him.\n\nAfter tracking a suspect who reportedly moved cautiously and changed residences repeatedly, officers traced him to a luxury villa in Bangkok’s Bang Na district valued at more than 50 million baht. They arrested him that day while he was dining out at a restaurant in Huai Khwang, under provisions of the Immigration Act.\n\nThe report says Wang was taken to the immigration detention centre pending return to China. Investigators allege that, through a company, he conducted pyramid-like schemes and unlawful fundraising while promising high returns, involving more than 1,000 victims and about 200 million yuan. Thai Immigration urged the public to report leads on foreign-related offences.","contentScope":"full","proof":{"publishedSourceRevision":"1","publishedWorkingVersionId":"14369","languageVersionId":"9173","visibilityVersion":"2","versionToken":"a1.22NnsiCx0DzfhDtbiyKK-t4QE1IKdhq4mXxSvpauVXY"},"availableLocales":["zh","en","km"],"attributes":{"sourceLocale":"zh","translationKind":"machine","nodeId":"183","authorText":"","sourceName":"KPS99TV"},"references":[],"links":[],"publishedAt":"2026-03-27T06:36:27Z"}
