PHUKET: A Chinese man arrested over a multi-million dollar pyramid scheme in Bangkok is being brought back to Phuket where his allegedly illegal empire across Thailand, Malaysia and China had its base.
Song Migui, 37, also known as Zhang Jian, the Chinese national who proclaimed himself to be the ''future richest man,'' attracted media attention earlier this year when he gave 30 million baht to a Buddhist temple in Phuket City.
At the time of the massive donation, Song Migui said that he was the proud and prosperous owner of an IT software company.
Police nabbed him in Bangkok after the Anti-Money Laundering Office became involved in examining his unusual wealth. Song Migui was on a blacklist in China, investigators discovered.
He reputedly had amassed a 6000 million baht fortune in China and a 3000 million baht fortune in Malaysia on the back of the pyramid scheme.
Two others were arrested in Bangkok, Geng Lian Bao, and Miss Wang Wen Fang.
