Thai police have arrested seven individuals, including six officers, for allegedly staging a fake arrest and extorting 165,000 USDT from a Chinese-Vanuatu citizen. The victim claims that the rogue officers and their accomplices used fraudulent legal threats to extort stablecoins from his family. The officers allegedly seized belongings and threatened to charge the family with employing illegal workers unless they paid a bribe of 10 million USDT. The victim eventually agreed to pay a reduced bribe of 165,000 USDT, but grew suspicious when the officers failed to return their computer. The victim hired a lawyer and filed criminal charges, leading to the arrests. The officers have denied the charges, and the National Anti-Corruption Commission is investigating the case.
