Earlier, the Civil Sanction Committee (CSC) resolved to impose civil sanctions on the three offenders* for manipulating the price or trading volume of READY shares, requiring them to pay the total amount of 233,113,379 baht (comprising civil penalties, compensations in the amount equal to the benefits received or should have been received, and reimbursements of investigative expenses incurred by the SEC). Each of these individuals was also prohibited from trading securities or derivatives for 8.5 months and was barred from serving as directors or executives of securities issuing companies or securities companies for 17 months.  

However, none of the three offenders agreed to comply with the civil sanctions as imposed by the Civil Sanction Committee (CSC). It is thus considered that all of them do not consent to settle the case at the SEC proceedings.  

Therefore, the SEC has submitted the case in writing to the public prosecutor for filing a lawsuit in the Civil Court to seek civil sanction with civil penalties at the total amount of 279,673,856.10 baht plus interest, as well as a prohibition of securities and derivatives trading and a bar from holding the director or executive positions at securities issuing companies or securities companies, with the maximum applicable statutory penalties. 

Furthermore, the SEC has reported the proceedings in this case to the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) for further consideration of actions under their authority as the offenses related to unfair securities trading constitute a predicate offense under the Anti-Money Laundering Act B.E. 2542 (1999).
