The actress came forward for the first time to openly clarify the situation. "Jane Sudara Panto" After appearing in court over a fraud case, she admitted this was her first time ever in court, confirming losses exceeding 40 million baht and sharing her feelings after confronting a former close friend in the courtroom.
When asked about what caused her the greatest sorrow in this case, Jane said with a smile tinged with pain that it was because the other party once called herself an older sister, while Jane is an only child with no siblings. Her trust and financial support partly came from this emotional bond.
"It's okay, just a little nervous because it’s my first time in court. But I’m fine—holding hands tightly with friends and having a lovely legal team."
Jane, the amount is over 40 million, right?
"Over 40 million baht. (Is it from investments or something else?) Please allow me not to elaborate because it's already part of the court case."
Has the defendant tried to negotiate or mediate regarding the fraud?
"Not yet. There's been no communication."
Have they made any repayments or contacted you to settle?
"No."
Have you met them in court or elsewhere?
"Actually, I strongly believe in karma. I just sit and lean back in my chair and watch karma work. I don't feel much otherwise."
Did you notice their facial expressions or eyes? How did they seem?
"They looked very stressed."
Did you make eye contact in the courtroom?
"Yes, because since the incident occurred, we had never made eye contact before. (Did you smile or greet?) No greetings. (Smiles) I think the friendship is definitely broken now. It's ended, so there’s no need to greet each other."
So you don't want the other party to necessarily go to jail, right?
"That depends on the legal process. I’m not the one who put them in this position. Ultimately, they brought themselves here, not me. So, I’ll let the process take its course."
You often post messages on social media; how do you feel about that?
"It's just a little outlet to vent. (Smiles) Nothing major. Because I don't have a platform to say much, sometimes I just want to vent a bit."
Regarding repayments, some victims have reportedly received money back. Do you have hope?
"Who? (Like some actors, Dada?) I really don't know. I can only speak for myself."
Do you hope to get your money back?
"Of course, I want the money back because all victims earned their money honestly through work. I hope not just for myself, but for everyone to get their money back."
You don’t know if any victims have been repaid yet?
"No, and I don’t want to interfere. I’m focusing on my own case."
If the other party requests mediation or debt repayment, would you negotiate?
"I would have to consult my legal team."
Any signs of that happening yet?
"Not yet, at this time."
Do you think Nana and Way’s income matches the damages they owe?
"I no longer consider their income. It’s not part of my daily life."
Are you worried this will drag on?
"I don’t know. I’ll let the process run its course. Everyone has the right to fight their case."
You were friends for a very long time?
"No longer."(What causes the deepest sorrow?) Maybe because she once said she was like an older sister to me.(Sweet smile)"
So that’s why you feel hurt?
"Yes."
So part of the reason you gave her money was because of that sisterly bond, right?
"Something like that. I have no siblings."
What lesson has this incident taught you?
"Don’t trust anyone. Trust yourself and your instincts. No one loves you like you love yourself."
Do you talk with your friends in the group?
"We talk all the time."
How is the mental state of your friends?
"Everyone tries to encourage each other because we all know what we are going through. It’s a heavy burden for everyone’s life. Each person processes it differently; some feel it more, some less. You can’t measure it. For now, we just hold hands tightly and support one another."
Do you think Nana is doing her best to solve this problem?
"I really don’t know. It’s hard to measure. I have to say I don’t know."
Is there anything you want to say to her?
"No. Nothing at all. Not even a single word. (Smiles)"
Would you describe your feeling as anger?
"I try to forgive and start my new life. Carrying anger is heavy for me. I don’t know if it’s heavy for her, but it is for me. So, I don’t want to carry that burden. I try to move forward and do my best each day."
