New Tesla with SpaceX boosters

Plus: Thai YouTuber absconds after allegedly duping 6,000 people of $55 million Sep 09, 2022 [Blueprint]( As scams go, this is pretty impressive. Allegedly, a YouTuber in Thailand has [managed to make $55 million]( out of her followers in a foreign exchange trading scam. And, unsurprisingly, she’s vanished into thin air with it. But she’s not the only one… not by a long way, According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), around 46,000 people fell victim to crypto-related scams last year, and more than $1 billion dollars have been duped out of people since 2021. So it’s fairly lucrative, albeit immoral and illegal. But before you let your blood boil over that, get your heart racing over [this video]( which shows the "Tesla SpaceX Hypercar" with SpaceX boosters in action. Even if you’re not into cars in any way whatsoever, this is cool. Good morning. I’m Alice, an Editor at IE. This is The Blueprint. Let’s dive in.

She did it by persuading about 6,000 of her 847,000 YouTube subscribers to invest in her foreign exchange trading company. And how did she glean so many followers, you may ask? And the answer might just surprise you, because it was by posting dance videos. Natthamon Khongchak, known to her followers as Nutty, was also active on Instagram, where she posted advertisements about private courses for aspiring forex traders. She shared images of luxury cars, watches and property to demonstrate the riches she had made from forex trading. It’s all a bit Tinder Swindler, really. → Nutty shared on Instagram that she had made a “trading mistake” and lost all the money, adding that she owed people a billion baht ($27.5 million), but her broker had blocked her trading account, and she did not have access to her funds. She now hasn't been seen on social media since June, and her followers think she has fled the country.
