Overview
- Thailand’s South Bangkok Civil Court issued the warrant after Jakkaphong “Anne” Jakrajutatip failed to appear for the scheduled verdict and said her conduct could be seen as fleeing.
- Plastic surgeon Raweewat Maschamadol alleges he lost 30 million baht (about $930,000) after being misled into buying JKN corporate bonds in 2023.
- Her location is unclear, she skipped the Miss Universe event in Bangkok, and local reports suggest she may have traveled to Mexico, while JKN denied rumors she liquidated assets and fled.
- JKN defaulted on investor payments in 2023, entered court-supervised debt rehabilitation in 2024 with roughly 3 billion baht in liabilities, and was delisted after regulators found falsified financial statements.
- The Miss Universe Organization says her legal case is separate from its operations as the pageant faces reputational strain from a public onstage reprimand of the eventual winner, judge withdrawals, and a police inquiry into alleged illegal online gambling promotion.
