Sirichok Submits Evidence to DSI Alleging Links Between MP’s Spouse and Crypto Gambling Site
Former politician Sirichok Sopha has presented evidence to the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) regarding a crypto gambling platform, alleging a conflict of interest involving an MP's spouse.
On October 20, 2026, Sirichok Sopha submitted documentation to Thailand’s Department of Special Investigation (DSI) concerning the crypto gambling website 'Shuffle.com'. According to Thai Post, Sirichok alleges that approximately 118 million baht in transactions linked to Thai nationals have flowed through the platform.
Sirichok has formally requested that the DSI elevate the matter to a 'special case' investigation. He specifically raised concerns regarding a potential conflict of interest involving an MP, referred to as 'MP Idea', alleging that she was aware of her husband's involvement with the gambling site while serving in a position related to the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (DES). Sirichok claims that this situation constitutes a completed criminal offense and has urged authorities to investigate potential negligence or abuse of power.
For residents and observers of Thai politics, this development highlights ongoing scrutiny regarding the intersection of digital gambling, cryptocurrency, and political accountability. Sirichok stated that he is acting as a private citizen and denies that his actions are politically motivated. As of now, these allegations remain unproven. The DSI has yet to confirm whether it will accept the case for special investigation, and the accused parties have not yet provided a formal public response to these specific claims. Further updates will depend on the DSI’s assessment of the submitted evidence.
