00:00This fake official managed to brief Thailand's Prime Minister.
00:03After a Bangkok nightclub fire killed at least 32 people, this man was seen walking through
00:08the restricted area, speaking to reporters and standing next to top officials.
00:13Most people assumed he was part of the rescue operation.
00:15He wasn't.
00:16Thai media later identified him as a volunteer and former Bangkok Metropolitan Council candidate
00:22known as Lieutenant Nat.
00:23According to reports, he had come straight from a BB gun competition, still wearing military
00:28themed clothing.
00:29Rescuers later clarified that he wasn't assigned to the operation.
00:33Yet some of the information he shared, including a claim that customers were stopped from escaping
00:37until they paid their bills, spread widely online.
00:40Authorities have not confirmed that allegation.
00:43When asked about the man, Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charney Virakul said he didn't
00:47know who he was and that many people approached him during the site visit.
00:51Now Thailand is asking a bigger question.
00:53How did someone with no official role get access to one of country's biggest disaster
00:57scenes and why did everyone believe him?
01:00No.
