Phone Shop Owner Questioned After Unknowingly Buying Stolen iPhone

A phone shop owner in Pathum Thani faced police questioning after unknowingly buying a stolen iPhone 17 Pro Max that had its security system illegally removed, prompting him to warn others in the industry about widespread device unlocking f

2h ago Khaosod

Ritthichak Danudet, owner of a mobile phone shop in Lam Luak Khlong 2, Pathum Thani, posted a warning after nearly facing criminal charges for unknowingly purchasing a stolen iPhone.

On June 25, a vendor sold him an iPhone 17 Pro Max for 42,500 baht. The shop conducted routine checks and found no security locks, so he posted it for resale and scheduled a pickup appointment.

When the customer arrived on June 26, six undercover detectives appeared instead and brought the shop owner to a police station. There he met with the complainant and learned that the phone belonged to a company that had sold it with a down payment arrangement. However, the device's MDM (Mobile Device Management) security system had been removed and the phone illegally resold. The company had traced the device to his shop.

After discussion and explanation, police confirmed that the shop owner had made a standard purchase from an ordinary vendor and documented the case for further legal action.

The shop owner warned others in the mobile phone industry to be extremely cautious during this period of widespread device unlocking fraud. He urged police to quickly apprehend those involved in removing security locks, as their actions make legitimate business very difficult.

Neymar Fires Back At Mathematician's Failed World Cup Prediction

Brazilian star Neymar mocked German mathematician Joachim Clement after his World Cup prediction that Japan would beat Brazil proved spectacularly wrong—Brazil won 2-1 instead.

2h ago Khaosod

Brazilian star Neymar has responded to a German mathematician's prediction that Japan would defeat Brazil in the World Cup Round of 32. Joachim Clement, a German mathematician and data analyst, became famous for accurately predicting World Cup champions three consecutive times: Germany in 2014, France in 2018, and Argentina in 2022. For the 2026 World Cup, Clement used a computational model combining various factors including per capita GDP, weather conditions, FIFA world rankings, and luck variables. He predicted the Netherlands would win the championship and potentially face Portugal in the final, and included a forecast that Japan would beat Brazil. "I don't make predictions for individual group stage matches, but I expect we might see Brazil facing Japan in the final Round of 32, and Japan will defeat Brazil," Clement said in his prediction. "At first, it may seem unbelievable to me because Brazil is the most successful team in World Cup history, but the current players are not in their best form, whereas Japan has an excellent team right now." However, Clement's predictions proved entirely wrong: the Netherlands was eliminated on penalty kicks by Morocco, while Brazil defeated Japan 2-1 in the 90th minute with a goal from Martinelli. Most recently, Neymar posted a tweet mocking the mathematician, saying "Joachim Clement, try again at the next World Cup," and ended the post with a winking emoji.

US Security Chief Celebrates Iran's World Cup Exit

3h ago Khaosod

U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markawayne Mullin expressed joy at Iran's elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, saying he was so pleased he felt like dancing. Iran exited in the group stage after drawing 1-1 with Austria and Algeria. During a recent security department briefing, Mullin stated, "I'm just happy they're done and won't be back." Iran faced significant obstacles during the tournament, as many players and officials were denied U.S. visas and had to travel through Mexico for all three matches. U.S. authorities only permitted the team to stay one day before matches, forcing them to return to their camp immediately. Iran's team complained of being the most oppressed team at the World Cup. Mullin revealed his satisfaction: "I was very pleased we could revoke their visas and tell them to leave U.S. soil. I might sing a song or two, or maybe even feel like dancing with joy. No other team has required more of our administrative effort than Iran."

3h ago Khaosod

On June 30, 2569, police led by Lt. Gen. Worawit Yanjinda, commissioner of the Narcotics Police Bureau, raided a luxury resort on Ramindra-Ekamai bypass road after receiving a tip that a fugitive wanted for attempted murder was hosting a drug party at the location. Officers discovered loud music, dim lighting, and some individuals asleep inside. They took 12 people into custody, including two wanted suspects: Woraphop, wanted for attempted murder, and Sittep, wanted for possession of ketamine. Six others were detained for drug possession, while four voluntarily agreed to treatment, including a French tourist.

Police found ecstasy, ice methamphetamine, ketamine, and electronic cigarette devices filled with etomidate (poke) hidden throughout the resort. A search of the suspects' pickup truck yielded additional drugs.

Following up on the investigation, officers obtained a search warrant and raided a condominium in the Rama 9-Asok area belonging to Aran, one of the suspects. He confessed to using the space as a drug packaging and distribution center. Police discovered 115 poke device heads, 130 grams of etomidate powder, and various packaging equipment and chemicals. According to his confession, he purchased white etomidate powder from a Thai woman called "Jae" at approximately 65,000 baht per unit, mixed it into poke heads sold at 2,500 baht each, and distributed at least 10,000 units, generating nearly 25 million baht in revenue.

All suspects and evidence were turned over to investigators from Chokechai, Chanasongkhram, and Phaholyothin police stations for further prosecution according to their respective jurisdictions.
