Thai police arrest suspect in $4.7M crypto theft using AI and SIM fraud

Thai police arrested a 30-year-old Chinese man in Pattaya for allegedly stealing about 4.707 million USDT from an OKX user account. The suspect and accomplices reportedly used AI face-swapping technology and SIM card fraud to impersonate the victim and access the account. The man entered Thailand on a tourist visa in July 2024 and was detained in September after Guangdong police issued a wanted notice. This case highlights the growing use of advanced technology in crypto theft and cross-border law enforcement efforts.
