‘Rom’ submitted information on online gambling and money laundering, hoping the DSI will handle the case transparently. He pointed out three serious charges that allow immediate criminal prosecution. Tracing digital financial flows found six accounts on Bitkub, Maxbit, and Binance linked to Shuffle.
On 27 Oct 2026 GMT+7, Rangsit Rom, a party-list MP of the Prachachon Party and chairman of the House Committee on Law, Justice, and Human Rights, met with the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) to provide information and follow up on investigations into online gambling networks and money laundering via digital assets. After meeting, Rom said,
“Today’s briefing depends on the officials’ questions, but the key focus the DSI should have is on online gambling. However, understanding the full picture likely involves more than just gambling—it may include misconduct and involvement in larger issues, which we must continue to follow. As committee chairman, I am ready to cooperate and provide information to the DSI. Some of this is already known to the media and public, but at least it can be used to prosecute offenders.”
When asked if he has deeper information than what’s in the news, Rom said, “The key is for the DSI. If asked whether deeper information exists, the answer is yes. The DSI can begin legal action now. If they feel the evidence is insufficient, they should explain the obstacles preventing prosecution. Regarding online gambling alone, I am confident there is wrongdoing, but how far it reaches to others remains another matter.”
This case involves at least three charges: criminal organization offenses, violations of the Gambling Act, and breaches of the Anti-Money Laundering Act. All are foundational criminal cases enabling asset seizure and freezing. Further offenses may also be uncovered.
Regarding cryptocurrency financial tracing, Rom confirmed that six accounts linked to the Bitkub platform have been found. Two were previously reported by cyber police to Bitkub, which acknowledged them. Additional investigation on 16 Oct 2026 GMT+7 uncovered four more accounts, totaling six, with transactional volume exceeding 100 million baht. Bitkub is attempting to blacklist these accounts, but Rom expressed confusion over the delay in this process.
Additionally, data from the Maxbit platform shows cash flow currently around 220,000 baht. The parliamentary committee has invited Binance representatives for a briefing on the coming Thursday to examine any financial flows linked to the Shuffle platform and their amounts.
“Based on the information we currently have, we believe it is sufficient to prosecute Shuffle. The key question is, with sufficient evidence, what will the DSI do? If no action is taken, how will this information and evidence be further handled?”
When asked about the credibility of the information and whether the evidence provided is certified by government agencies to enable prosecution, Rom replied, “Let me start by saying what the wrongdoing is. Regarding the gambling offenses, it is quite clear. MP Idea Suchada herself admitted it, and part of it occurred within the kingdom, which is clear. At minimum, this information was reported through the parliamentary committee. Records from the committee are official documents, so they can be used to proceed.”
Rom emphasized that even though the DSI may not yet have the committee’s meeting minutes, as chairman, he is willing to facilitate delivering them. Therefore, the gambling case is clear in itself. He questioned why, given the extensive information, the DSI has not yet initiated prosecution, especially since this is a criminal case under national law that does not require a complaint from the public. Both the DSI and cyber police can initiate cases immediately.
“Look at the case of the God Dam page. Who filed the complaint? The police themselves did. The charges against God Dam likely exceed defamation. So today, besides information, I am also willing to provide documents and meeting reports to fully assist the investigation.”
Asked if the parliamentary committee holds information beyond what he and MP Sirichok Sopa possess, Rom confirmed there is more and that information will continue to increase because what has been obtained so far is not complete. The scope of those involved with online gambling might be broader than currently known.
Rom also explained the origin of the 40-million-baht bribery case, starting from investigations involving Chaiyachon Chidchop. On 16 or 17 Oct 2025 GMT+7, he saw a press conference chaired by Minister of Justice Rutthapon Nawarat announcing the arrest of an online gambling network with 49 suspects and financial flows over 15 billion baht, with MP Suchada present. However, when the committee summoned the Ministry of Digital Economy, cyber police, and related agencies, none had information on these arrests, raising suspicions that prior crackdowns may have been superficial or involved protecting certain websites.
Furthermore, tracing MP Suchada’s connections to the company 3AC (Three Arrows Capital) raised questions about loans. This kind of lending is unusual—lending 80% of total assets poses high risk but yields low returns. This led to the hypothesis that loans were made using Rail or Ren coins, which linked back to the Shuffle site offering high returns.
Rom criticized Shuffle as highly dangerous due to its cryptocurrency environment, which facilitates easy money laundering but is difficult to control. If intermediaries intervene between wallets in Thailand before transferring funds to Shuffle, proving wrongdoing becomes very difficult.
“In the future, laundering money may no longer require physically transporting cash by van to provinces like Satun or Buriram. Instead, funds might be moved digitally through cryptocurrency, with brokers holding hardware wallets transferring money offline. This is a crucial starting point for dismantling money laundering and illegal vote-buying both past and future.”
When asked why the DSI has only charged offenses under the Computer Crime Act but not gambling laws, and seems to await Thai players’ confessions, Rom said, “Just look at Shuffle—it labels itself a ‘casino.’ Cryptocurrency financial flows don’t lie or cheat; it is clear on its own. If charges are limited to the Computer Crime Act, this raises questions about whether officials are performing their duties lawfully.”
Rom added, “Thai police have the capacity to quickly handle cases like the God Dam page. So why is the case involving MP Suchada or her blue-side associates not progressing as swiftly? If the media information is true, God Dam was only a former party member, yet the news treated him like an executive committee member. Here, we have an MP who is a secretary to Minister Chaiyachon, possibly abusing power and having conflicts of interest, yet everyone acts as if nothing is happening. If you want to apply standards rapidly to the orange side, you should apply the law equally to all parties and individuals, regardless of name or affiliation. I’m not asking for leniency for us, but for consistent strict enforcement.”
Rom urged the DSI officials to perform their duties honestly and transparently—not for him or because he supplied information, but to protect the country and people by genuinely cracking down on gray capital.
