I doubt the couple can stay hidden away for long.

People will recognise their faces, unless they do a spy thingy, separate, disguised and disappear.

Got caught already. So fast, lousy, less than a month. Now, they can stay in a jail for a long time.

Criminals like them cannot change habit one. Like McLaren, live the good life ? They can't go running into a small remote village and live the rest of their lives.

So they are bound to get caught easily.

Yes. I would have expected them to be somewhere up north of Thailand by now.

BANGKOK (THE NATION/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - A popular Thai YouTuber who claimed to be a successful forex trader has reportedly fled abroad after allegedly cheating thousands of investors out of two billion baht (S$77 million).

Ms Natthamon Khongchak, better known as Nutty the YouTuber, defrauded over 6,000 victims, according to Phaisal Ruangrit, a lawyer who campaigns to help fraud victims.

Mr Phaisal said one victim had deposited about 18 baht million with her.

On Aug 24, the lawyer led some 30 people to file complaints against Ms Natthamon with the Economic Crime Suppression Division.

He said the YouTuber had used her popularity to lure victims with the promise of high returns in a short time.

Ms Natthamon's YouTube account, which is titled Nutty's Diary, has over 800,000 followers but the last clip was posted some five months ago.

She invited people to deposit money in her account, promising 25 per cent returns for three-month contracts, 30 per cent for six-month contracts and 35 per cent for 12-month contracts. She pledged to pay returns every month.

However, in April, her customers began complaining that they had not received the payments as promised.

In a May 25 Instagram post, Ms Natthamon said she had made a mistake in trading and lost all the money but promised to repay to her investors.

On June 24, she announced she was being sued in two cases and would not be able to repay other investors if she was jailed.

On Sunday (Aug 28), popular Facebook page Drama-addict posted that Ms Natthamon had fled abroad. It added that one of her alleged victims, identified only as Nok, had offered a reward of one million baht to anyone who could provide information that led to her arrest.

The page said it received information that Ms Natthamon had fled to Malaysia

that is the classic scam bait technique. 

Despite all these scams being well publicized, no one ever thought that it will happen to them because they are the smartest and the most lucky to have found a once in a lifetime deal...

It is just too easy to scam or people are simply fooled? I feel the top things government needs to do is any official announcement, it has to be through their official websites and NEVER via any form of social media. Of course the argument is there will be fake websites. If they fake the official ones, definitely easy for the government to track them and close them right?

Popular Thai YouTuber allegedly on the run over S$77m forex trading scam

................The online celebrity promised those who invested with her would reap 25 per cent returns for three-month contracts, 30 per cent for six-month contracts and 35 per cent for 12-month contracts, with returns paid every month............

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/popular-thai-you-tuber-forex-trading-scam-135614576.html

Why would people believe such high return investment is possible ? First question one should ask is why would she not do the investment with her own money since she can generate so much returns
