A leaked email suggests Malaysian police received a tip about uFun Club suspects on April 16th—contradicting official claims they've been waiting for Thai authorities to get in touch.
The Central Bank of Malaysia blacklisted uFun Club last June. The company kept operating anyway. Last Friday, officials told the public they still hadn't heard from Thai investigators. Senior Assistant Commissioner Datuk Jalil Hassan, deputy director of the Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigations Department, confirmed Thai police hadn't contacted Malaysian authorities about the case involving more than 100,000 victims worldwide.
Then someone leaked an email to a Facebook group called Justice Always Late on April 21st. The message was supposedly sent four days earlier between Interpol's National Central Bureaus in Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur—the official police liaison offices that handle cross-border investigations.
The email heading reads "VERY URGENT" and outlines an active Thai police investigation into uFun's pyramid scheme operations. According to the message, four Malaysian suspects founded and ran the company in Thailand before fleeing to Malaysia months earlier. Thai authorities say the four men committed fraud through false statements and deception. Under Thai law, they face up to 15 years in prison.
One suspect allegedly posed as a Thai citizen under the name Arthit Pankaew while using a fake Thai identity. Thai police say his real identity is Malaysian and they're still trying to confirm it.
The email lists three other suspects by name and passport number: Tay Kim Leng, Lee Kuan Ming, and Wan Sing Hua. It explicitly requests Malaysian police help locating these men.
The authenticity of the email hasn't been independently verified. How Justice Always Late obtained the document remains unknown. But if genuine, the message directly contradicts what Malaysian officials told the public just five days after it was sent.
The timing raises uncomfortable questions. Malaysian regulators claim they're powerless without Thai cooperation. Yet this email—if real—shows Thai authorities actually did reach out, asking for Malaysian assistance by name. It's unclear why officials wouldn't mention receiving such a request when asked about the status of the investigation.
uFun Club operated as a multi-level marketing scheme offering high returns on cryptocurrency investments. The scheme has drawn complaints globally, with victims claiming they lost money after being recruited through false promises. The company's continued operation in Malaysia despite being officially blacklisted points to a serious enforcement gap between what regulators announce and what they actually do.
The leaked email suggests that gap might be wider than anyone's admitted.
