“Kob Micro” has provided information to police following an investment in “The Icon Group” that resulted in losses amounting to 2 million baht. He admits to being a leader with 8 team members and states that the company has faced ongoing issues that no one has dared to address due to the threat of lawsuits.
On October 15, 2024, it was reported that “Kob Micro,” a famous singer, confirmed his involvement with the case regarding “The Icon Group.” He expressed the desire to clarify his position amidst viral rumors about whether he is a victim or part of a scheme.
Kob revealed that he participated in company events for about 4-5 months, emphasizing that there was no script, and he was merely there to communicate the transformative potential of the business.
Believing in the company’s reported sales of over 4 billion baht within a few years, he invested in the business despite not being paid for his appearances, which were termed “sharing” by the company. He recently addressed questions about a promotional trip to France, which was for ten dealers, including himself and his family, worth over 2 million baht.
Initially, Kob stated that selling products yielded some profit, but sales dwindled over time, restricting him to local acquaintances. Ultimately, he even donated unsold items due to them nearing expiration.
Admitting he was the leader of a team of eight, Kob clarified that he joined the company without understanding the full nature of the business. His team members followed orders without questioning, but when they were unable to sell effectively despite their best efforts, he decided to exit the business around July-August 2024. He then began to investigate the company and discovered potential irregularities.
Kob acknowledged that “The Icon” has encountered issues for a long time but that there has been a culture of silence among victims fearing legal repercussions. He mentioned ongoing lawsuits against several individuals involved, with developments expected by October 28.
