MP Exposes 100M Baht Crypto Trail to Illegal Gambling Site

MP Rangsiman Rome revealed crypto wallet money trails to shuffle.com exceeding 100 million baht involving 49 people, with links to a political party. The investigation targets Suchada Sangtham after her husband holds a 1.47% stake, raising conflict-of-interest concerns since she serves as secretary to the Digital Economy Minister while the website remains operational.

On October 22, 2026, at Parliament, Rangsiman Rome, party-list MP for the People's Party and chair of the House Committee on Legal Affairs, Justice, and Human Rights, briefed reporters on the committee's meeting which had invited Suchada Sangtham, party-list MP for Chaiyaphum from the Bhumjaithai Party, to provide information on the shuffle.com gambling website. However, Suchada and her husband did not attend, exercising her right to explain to the committee later.

The committee is currently examining three issues: 1) A 40-million-baht bribe involving Digital Economy and Society Minister Chaiyachanok Chidchob, where neither the gambling site case nor the attempted bribery case has progressed. 2) The 40-million-baht bribe progress update announced by Justice Minister Pol. Gen. Thawee Sodsong, Suchada (DES Permanent Secretary), former DSI Director-General, and Cyber Police Commander on October 17, 2025, but no agency has verified any actual progress, raising suspicions the announcement was merely for show. 3) Money laundering and cryptocurrency use linked to shuffle.com, where Suchada acknowledged her husband holds 1.47% shares. Fact-checking confirms money flowed from two platforms — Bitkub and Maxbit — both confirming transactions to and from shuffle.com. The site already faces black and red case numbers, with the DES Ministry requesting access blocking.

Rangsiman noted the website remains accessible but blocks Thai users, though Thais can actually still access and play. Current charges against shuffle.com include transnational crime, money laundering conspiracy, and violations of the Gambling Act — predicate offenses enabling asset seizure. If the site's operators admit the behavior, shuffle.com must face prosecution.

The site's parent company is Mix Order Limited, with Suchada holding at least 1.47% shares while serving as DES Ministry Secretary, necessitating further investigation. However, the website faces multiple actionable charges, and Cyber Police will meet on October 26 to determine next steps.

Asked about the total value of private-sector transaction data, Rangsiman said Bitkub acknowledged six wallets with combined flows exceeding 100 million baht, two of which are blacklisted per Cyber Police referral. More wallets may exist. Maxbit has three wallets with 220,000 baht in circulation. Both platforms transferred directly, not counting intermediary transfers. Bitkub preliminarily identified 49 individuals linked to these wallets, requiring verification of wallet ownership and nationalities, with some confirmed to be in Thailand.
