On August 11, 2025, prominent amulet dealers Dorn Tianthawornwong (Madam Keng) and Watchrapong Radoamsitriphattana (U Krungsiam) filed a formal request with Central Investigation Bureau commander General Nattasak Chawanashay for updates on their 300 million baht fraud case against renowned amulet dealer Tone Bangkaew. Madam Keng stated she simply wanted to check on case progress after considerable time had elapsed, emphasizing she had no intention to pressure investigators. She revealed investing 100 million baht in optical equipment without understanding the technical specifications that Tone used in fraudulent marketing.
U Krungsiam said Madam Keng had been losing sleep over the matter but acknowledged the Central Investigation Bureau's heavy caseload. He thanked authorities for establishing a task force and interviewing witnesses, hoping for faster progress. Earlier that morning, Tone Bangkaew was seen leaving the bureau's complaint center after meeting with officers from the Suppression Division. When asked what he was doing there, he replied "nothing" and quickly left.
Deputy commander Pol. Col. Suwat Saengnoom said the investigation team was working diligently to ensure fairness to all parties. He noted that the complaint center's records did not clarify Tone's purpose for that morning's visit.
