BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 March 2024 – The Office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), Thailand encourages both locals and foreigners to participate in tackling the corruption problem, ensuring that there is a specified law to protect witnesses and whistleblowers to help officials detect corruption cases.
The Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand Section 63 B.E.2560 (2017) places importance on the prevention and suppression of corruption by focusing on the participation of the public in the fight against or pointing out clues of corruption, and the state must provide measures to protect people who report corruption. Meanwhile, the Organic Act on the Prevention and Suppression of Corruption B.E. 2561 (2018), Section 131 and Section 133 empower NACC to provide safety protection to accusers, victims, petitioners, complainants, witnesses, whistleblowers who give statements or reports any clues or information about corruption. The law also protects the performance of duties to government officials who give statements or whistleblowing to the NACC.
“Preventing and combating corruption requires the cooperation of all sectors, whether government agencies, private organizations, or civil society, to recognize the serious threats that arise and recognize the importance of the problem of corruption. Witnesses or people who have been damaged by corruption cases or whistleblowers are afraid to complain or give information regardless of corruption and bribery. This will create difficulty in tackling corruption and bringing perpetrators to justice. For that reason, the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand; therefore, places importance on the prevention and suppression of corruption by focusing on the participation of the public in the fight against or pointing out clues of corruption, and the state must provide measures to protect people who report corruption,” the NACC explained.
Moreover, it pointed out that at present the problem of corruption in countries around the world has become one of the most important problems in many countries, including Thailand, where many related sectors have a common will to help prevent and suppress corruption. The nature of corruption is perceived only by the giver and the recipient, so when the benefits are balanced, it is difficult for either party to complain about this guilt as fear of causing themselves and other people around them to face trouble or being extorted by those who involved the bribes.
Thus, Thai law is concerned with this problem so it gives full authority to the NACC to set up the regulations on Witness Protection B.E. 2562 (2019, providing guidelines for for requesting witness and whistleblower protection.
The guidelines define that persons entitled to file applications and witness protection are covering accuser, victim, petitioner, complainant who gives statements, or the whistleblower including the spouse, parents, successor, or any other person who has a close relationship with the requester.
To file a complaint or give information about corruption to the NACC, anyone can contact NACC provincial offices nationwide or other agencies to request witnesses’ protection. In case, the witness or whistleblower is unable to present the complaint in person, it shall be done in writing or by letter, or by other means of communication such as telephone, fax, or electronic mail, or may authorize another person to act on their behalf.
After receiving requests for witness and whistleblower protection, the NACC will provide officers to secure witnesses at residences or places requested by witnesses or whistleblowers or arrange for witnesses to stay or reside at a location designated by the office.
That witness can ensure that the NACC will provide measures to conceal the personal data of witnesses and whistleblowers while arranging contact to ensure their well-being or regularly inspect the place where they live or stay.
Moreover, the NACC will send a notification in writing to the Royal Thai Police, the Department of Protection of Rights and Liberties, or other agencies to implement additional security protection.
To ensure that witnesses and whistleblowers will be able to live as normal, in case they cannot work or earn a living while being under protection, the NACC provides expenses and allowances as they are entitled to compensation. In case of damage to life, body, health, liberty, reputation, property or any other rights of witnesses, and other expenses for giving testify to the officers, the compensation for witness protection shall be disbursed at the rate specified by the Ministry of Justice or as determined by the government.
The NACC concluded that the agency recognizes and values the protection of witnesses and whistleblowers as they are key persons who could help Thailand improve transparency and wipe away the corruption from Thai society, as well as increase the corruption perception index to a higher level equivalent to the international level.
For whistleblowing of any misconduct by government officials, please contact the NACC Office Tel. 1205 or website: www.nacc.go.th

When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

BingX, a leading cryptocurrency research platform, has published its highly anticipated report on Token Investment Outlook for March 2024.
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 March 2024 – BingX, a leading cryptocurrency research platform, has published its highly anticipated report on Token Investment Outlook for March 2024. The report provides valuable insights into the current trends and investment opportunities in the cryptocurrency market.
Bitcoin, the flagship cryptocurrency, has price once again made headlines by reaching a historic high of $69,000 on March 5th. However, it began to fluctuate around this high level thereafter. Historically, such fluctuations in Bitcoin price have led to increased interest and investment in alternative cryptocurrencies, or altcoins.
Despite Ethereum’s impressive performance, with its price nearing $4,000, BingX’s analysts did not include it in the watchlist for this round of investment recommendations. This decision was based on past market patterns, which suggest that altcoins with lower market caps tend to outperform Bitcoin during bull markets.
However, investing in altcoins also comes with higher risks. BingX’s Quality Assurance (QA) researchers have categorized tokens into different risk tiers, with public chain tokens deemed to have lower risks compared to protocol tokens and on-chain projects. Among public chain tokens, those at the top enjoy the lowest risk levels.
Based on a comprehensive evaluation of technological strength, business model, market recognition, and risk factors, BingX QA has identified 10 tokens worth paying attention to:
Starknet, (STRK): Utilizing ZK-Rollup technology, Starknet offers reduced transaction fees and increased transaction throughput as an Ethereum Layer 2 network.
Ondo Finance, (ONDO): Ondo Finance digitizes traditional assets like US Treasury bonds, bridging the gap between traditional finance and the crypto world.
Arweave Token, (AR): Arweave provides a permanent and reliable large-scale data storage solution leveraging blockchain technology.
Theta Network, (THETA): Theta is a decentralized video streaming platform focusing on edge rendering and transmission integration.
A Meme Token, (PEPE): As a popular meme token, Pepe has gained significant community momentum and is expected to perform well in the current market.
In conclusion, BingX’s report highlights the long-term investment potential of these tokens from various perspectives. Investors are encouraged to carefully consider risks and returns, maintain a long-term investment strategy, and diversify their portfolios to maximize returns in the dynamic cryptocurrency market.

The announcement spooked investors who were expecting the Teflon maker to report its latest financial results. Instead, the company’s board of directors said it was working with a law firm to conduct an investigation.”
On this news, Chemours’ stock fell $9.05 per share, or 31.51%, to close at $19.67 per share on February 29, 2024.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Signature Bank acquisition would not be immediately accretive to the Company because it caused NYCB to be required to comply with materially enhanced prudential standards, including, among other things, risk-based and leverage capital requirements, and liquidity standards, and required that NYCB build capital, reinforce its balance sheet and strengthen its risk management processes; (2) NYCB failed to comply with the materially enhanced prudential standards; (3) NYCB overstated the quality of its commercial office loan assets; (4) NYCB was experiencing higher net charge-offs and deterioration in its commercial office portfolio than represented; (5) NYCB was reasonably likely to incur higher loan losses because it was experiencing higher net charge-offs and deterioration in its commercial office portfolio; (6) NYCB was reasonably likely to be forced to increase its allowance for credit losses due to its status as Category IV bank; (7) NYCB’s loan loss provisions were understated so it overstated quarterly earnings and/or understated quarterly losses; (8) NYCB failed to have adequate internal risk or disclosure controls and procedures; and (9) that, as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ statements about NYCB’s business, operations and financial condition were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
