Former Miss Universe CEO Jakkaphong 'Anne' Jakrajutatip was sentenced to two years in prison without probation on 26th December, following a Bangkok South Kwaeng Court's ruling on fraud charges related to a nearly $1 million (£743,090) corporate bond investment. The court also ordered fines against the company.
Anne, who co-founded JKN Global Group — the firm that co-owns the international pageant — did not appear in court and remains at large. Reports suggest she converted approximately $190.2 million (£141.3 million) into cryptocurrency before fleeing the country, allegedly with assistance from a former business partner, and is believed to have escaped to South America.
