Laos Development Bank (LDB) has filed a lawsuit against three Thai social media account operators for defamation, alleging they spread false information accusing the bank of using payment channels to launder money for online gambling, cross-border fraud, and other illegal activities. The false rumors damaged the bank's reputation and Laos' national image. Thai police have formed a special team to investigate the claims. Additionally, Laos is investigating a major cross-border investment fraud case where fraudsters targeted businesspeople using real estate, stocks, and energy projects as bait, resulting in losses exceeding 10 billion Thai baht.
