Vorapak Tanyawong, Thailand’s deputy finance minister, has resigned from his post following allegations that he is connected to a scam network he was appointed to combat. The accusations emerged as he was tasked with leading efforts to combat online fraud, a move initiated by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha. Tanyawong stated that he would resign, citing the allegations against him. The situation has raised eyebrows regarding the integrity of government efforts against cybercrime and the potential for officials to be complicit in the very crimes they are meant to address.
