TV host Kan Kantathavorn and other iCon Group officers face police investigations over a suspected pyramid scheme. Kan, questioned by the Central Investigation Bureau, denies being an executive despite being listed as chief marketing officer. The controversy sparked criticism on social media, leading Kan to sever ties with the firm.
Kan Kantathavorn, a prominent TV host named as chief marketing officer of the iCon Group, met with the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) to address allegations of involvement in a pyramid scheme.
The controversy involves the alleged recruitment of investors, including suspicions about Kan's wife, Iyada Seemontree.
Over the weekend, other iCon Group officers, Yuranunt Pamornmontri and Pechaya Wattanamontree, also met with investigators.
Kan previously held a press conference to clarify his role and publicize his departure from the iCon Group, attributing his actions to a misunderstanding of the company's business model.
Social media influencers have criticized Kan for allegedly promoting the investment scheme, despite his claims of ignorance about deceived investors.
Kan and his lawyer provided conflicting accounts regarding his compensation from the company.
