我会尽量简短，如果有人感兴趣，我很乐意提供更多细节。在2022年3月，我母亲在泰国购买公寓后被骗了。她只是想要一个简单而平静的退休生活。我对这家公司进行了相当多的调查，我们在律师面前签署了合同等。一切看起来都没问题，这家公司成立了好几年，首席执行官没有任何不良声誉。我花了一段时间才意识到这是一家空壳公司，首席执行官并没有使用她的真实姓名，她是一个著名骗子的妻子，而她的父亲是泰国的前教育部长。他还曾是长期的国会议员。因此，没有人会入狱。我知道我在法律上胜诉的机会渺茫，因此我考虑通过媒体和技术来进行斗争。更糟糕的是，我母亲并不孤单，还有成千上万的受害者：美国人、中国人、韩国人、俄罗斯人、英国人、澳大利亚人、日本人、德国人、法国人（像我们一样），以及一些泰国人（可能还有更多）。这起诈骗案的金额在2000万到5000万美元之间，我没有理由相信这种情况不会再次发生。可悲的是，我母亲是一名工厂工人，刚满60岁，尽管我在法国是一名软件工程师，但我认为我无法快速存够钱为她提供体面的退休生活。我不想放弃她，花了无数小时试图追踪骗子是如何逃脱的，因此我才知道背后有多么有权势的政治人物。我有两个问题： 1. 如果你处在我的境地，你能想到什么创造性的想法来将这场斗争带到网上吗？并尽可能多地曝光？我的逻辑如下：房地产不是流动资产，在外国建立这样的欺诈是很困难的，而他的网络和权力依赖于泰国。因此，损害他的声誉可能促使他坐下来谈判。如果不行，我至少可以在未来拯救一些潜在的受害者。我想到的一个策略是让他的名字、公司和品牌获得足够的曝光。然后支付一些人假装是潜在投资者，结果因为在网上发现他是个骗子而退出交易。这个想法是植入怀疑的毒素，让他想知道自己还在无意中损失多少钱。 2. 你认识任何记者、外交官或内容创作者吗？他们的受众来自上述国家，并愿意对此进行报道？我可以提供无数的确凿证据、文件和我自己进行的开源情报（OSINT）。我愿意支付任何愿意花30分钟查看这些文件的人，只有在他们认为证据令人信服并愿意曝光一个有权势的家庭时，才发布这些内容。我母亲是一名工厂工人，辛苦工作了一辈子，我们没有任何备用计划。我并不要求任何金钱，但有成千上万的受害者，而骗子却可以继续逍遥法外，因为大多数受害者因泰国关于诽谤的压制性法律选择保持沉默。

I will try to keep this short, happy to give more details if people are interested.In March 2022, my mother got scammed after she bought an apartment in Thailand. She just wanted to have a simple and peaceful retirement.I had done a decent amount of research on the company, we signed the contract in front of a lawyer, etc.Everything seemed OK, the company was created several years, the CEO did not have any bad reputation.It took me a while to realize it was a shell company, the CEO was not using her real name, she was the wife of a famous scammer and her father is a former minister of education in Thailand. He has been a long time member of parliament as well.Hence, why nobody ever got in jail.I know I have little chance of winning legally, thus I am considering fighting through the press / technology.Even worse, my mother is not alone, there are thousands of victims : Americans, Chinese, Koreans, Russians, British, Australians, Japanese, Germans, French (like us), as well as a few Thais (and probably more).The scam is worth between 20 and 50 millions USD, and I don't have any reasons to believe it cannot happen again.Sadly, for my mother, she is a factory worker, who just turned 60 years, even if I work as a software engineer in France, I don't think I can save money fast enough to offer her a decent retirement.I don't want to give up on her, and I spent countless hours trying to track down how the scammer got away, hence that's how I got to know who's powerful politician is behind it.My two questions would be :1. If you were in my shoes, can you think of any creative ideas to take the battle online? And get as much exposure as possible?My rationale is as follows : real estate is not a liquid asset, it's hard to build such a fraud in a foreign country, and his network / power depends on Thailand. So hurting his reputation might prompt him to come to the table, negotiating. If not, I can at least save a few potential victims in the future.One strategy I thought about is getting enough exposure on his name / company / brand. Then pay some people to pretend they are potential investors, only to have them back off from the deal because they found out online, he was a scammer.The idea being to instill the poison of doubt and make him wonder how much more money he is losing without knowing.2. Do you know any journalists, ambassadors, or content creator with an audience from any of those countries who would be willing to write about this?I can provide countless hard evidences, documents and OSINT I have done myself.I am willing to pay anyone who is willing to spend 30 minutes looking at the documents, and only publish it if they find the evidences convincing and are willing to expose a powerful family.My mother is a factory worker, she worked all her life, we do not have any plan B.I am not asking for any money, but there are thousands of victims, and the scammer is free to continue, because most victims choose to remain silent because of the repressive Thai law about defamation.
