Thai police have arrested several foreign suspects in a case involving a group of Liberians who posed as potential business partners at a luxury car show in Bangkok. The group used a 30-year-old 'black money' scam, claiming they could turn black paper into real US dollars using a special chemical solution. The suspects demonstrated the scam to police and have already made an illegal profit of $60 million (approximately 2 billion Thai baht). The case is still under investigation and it seems these guys have also scammed many people in Cambodia.
