Bangkok: Former distributor of The Icon Group seeks police intervention to release frozen accounts, citing financial distress.

According to Thai News Agency, nearly 40 former distributors of The Icon Group approached the Crime Suppression Division to file a complaint with Pol. Lt. Col. Rachen Saengmee. The distributors are requesting the unfreezing of their accounts, which has severely impacted their ability to conduct financial transactions. Mr. Jiravach, aged 50, stated that his accounts were frozen on October 17 and November 13, leaving him unable to access funds and forcing him to borrow money from his mother. Despite having ceased his buying and selling activities two years ago, he has faced significant financial hardship due to the frozen accounts. Mr. Jiravach mentioned that Pol. Lt. Col. Rachen had previously indicated that an investigation team would be established, but no further communication had been made, prompting him to file a complaint.

Ms. Somying, 54, expressed her distress, explaining tha
t she initially joined The Icon as a distributor following the impact of COVID-19 on her wholesale home decoration business in Pattaya, Chonburi Province. After successfully selling coffee products through her shop, she ceased business activities three years ago. However, her nine accounts across three banks, each holding 30,000-40,000 baht, have been frozen. This situation has left her unable to meet her family’s financial obligations, including housing, vehicle payments, and employee salaries. Ms. Somying has appealed to the police to release the frozen accounts, emphasizing the severe financial difficulties she is experiencing.
