Thonglor police have detained "Je Tum" and submitted her to court on fraud charges involving embezzlement of money from wealthy clients who entrusted her with trading brand-name bags. Bail was opposed. The suspect continues to deny the charges, citing financial and investment problems.
Following the case where Thonglor police issued an arrest warrant for Ms. Siprapa, 45, known as "Je Tum," on charges of defrauding the public after she opened a page accepting consignments for buying and selling brand-name bags and shoes, with a physical store located in the Thonglor area. She allegedly absconded with nearly 100 million baht. Most victims are affluent individuals. Subsequently, over 30 victims gathered to present evidence and file complaints at the Central Investigation Bureau's reporting center.
Later, Ms. Siprapa, or "Je Tum," accompanied by her lawyer, met with investigators at Thonglor Police Station and denied the charges. She claimed the reason for not paying the victims was because she had invested the money in opening a new store, which has not been successful in sales, as previously reported.
In the latest development this morning (25 Mar 2026), Pol. Col. Ratthanon Ektitikulpatt, Superintendent of Thonglor Police Station, ordered investigators to bring "Je Tum," Ms. Siprapa, for a hearing to extend custody at the South Bangkok Criminal Court. Bail was opposed due to the number of victims, the large amount of damages, and concerns that the suspect might flee.
While being taken to the vehicle to be sent to court, upon seeing media recording, Je Tum quickly covered her face with a bag and did not answer any questions.
Pol. Col. Ratthanon Ektitikulpatt, Superintendent of Thonglor Police Station, stated that the suspect continues to deny the fraud charges according to the Thonglor police arrest warrant and claims to have financial and investment problems.
