Lawyer Withthun brought two witnesses who had previously studied Forex trading with a well-known coach to provide additional information to the DSI after the DSI's investigation found links to a Forex network with over 500 victims and losses amounting to several billion baht.
At 10:00 a.m. on 22 Jun 2026 GMT+7, the Department of Special Investigation reported that lawyer Withthun Kengan brought two witnesses who had studied Forex trading with a coach previously linked by the DSI to a Forex network causing over 500 victims with losses in the billions, to provide information to the DSI.
Lawyer Withthun stated that the victims brought today studied under a coach teaching 'All in' Forex trading, who encouraged trading for high profits. The brokers involved are illegal and unauthorized. He brought the victims to testify as witnesses to strengthen the case, noting they could later become official victims. He also has information on a foreign broker company without a Thai entity, where people deposited money to trade Forex. He obtained an Australian court ruling ordering the company's closure on 4 Apr 2025 GMT+7 due to limited assets and links to scammers.
Regarding the Forex case progress, reporters noted that last week investigators expanded their inquiry by interviewing victims who filed complaints with both the DSI and cyber police, compiling evidence for analysis. Within two days, they expect to propose the DSI Director-General designate this as a special case under the Anti-Money Lending Act (Fraud on the Public) B.E. 2527 (1984), commonly called the Forex pyramid scheme case.
In the investigation of evidence concerning the Forex broker group and two companies providing electronic money transfer and payment services, investigators are still analyzing all evidence from recent raids. They plan soon to issue summonses for all relevant individuals to clarify their involvement.
Concerning MP Pawut Pongwittayapanu of the People's Party, linked to a 28 million baht financial trail from Spark Digital Co., Ltd., investigators are awaiting his explanation.
Regarding Ratthapoom Tokongsap, nicknamed Film, involved with two broker companies—1. Etherwelt Co., Ltd., providing training and seminars, and 2. HF Markets (SV) Ltd, registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean—there are financial connections. Preliminary investigation found no financial links from Spark Digital Co., Ltd. to Ratthapoom. Neither Pawut nor Ratthapoom have yet contacted investigators to provide explanations.
