Kampanat “Jom” Vimolnoht was Thailand’s crypto VC golden boy.
Then he allegedly ran one of the boldest fake allocation scams CT has seen.
Here’s how it unfolded:
• Perfect resume: UK master’s, decade in VC, ex-musician turned Web3 insider, speaker at Singapore FinTech Festival 2024.
• Managing Director at KXVC - Kasikornbank’s $100M Web3/AI venture fund.
• Fired in March 2025… but reportedly kept the role on LinkedIn, which helped maintain credibility.
Then the pitch started.
• July-Nov 2025: offered personal allocations in hot projects like Monad, Babylon, Linera.
• Targeted friends, founders, and investors across Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, and the U.S.
• Sent professional contracts, decks, and payment instructions. Some allegedly edited from real KXVC documents.
Money started moving.
• Investors wired anywhere from ~$20K to over $1M each.
• Funds sent via bank transfers and USDC.
• Total losses across victims: millions of dollars.
The story held until vesting dates approached.
• Oct 2025: tokens supposed to unlock.
• Excuses followed. “admin delays,” “counterparty issues,” even claims he himself had been scammed.
Then he disappeared.
• Nov 2025: Telegram account deleted.
• Communication stopped entirely.
• One wallet tied to the scheme moved about $1.71M in stablecoins.
Victims began contacting the projects.
The responses were brutal.
• Monad reportedly called the contracts fraudulent.
• Babylon said it had no association with him.
Police reports were filed.
Now:
• Vimolnoht’s location is unknown.
• Some sources think he may have left Thailand.
• KXVC posted a warning about an “impersonator soliciting funds to personal accounts.”
Crypto loves the idea of exclusive access.
But sometimes the allocation isn’t exclusive.
It just doesn’t exist.
