Former MP Sirichok to Testify Before Parliamentary Committee Regarding Crypto Allegations
Former Democrat Party MP Sirichok Sopha is set to provide testimony to a parliamentary committee regarding alleged links between the Bitkub cryptocurrency exchange and online gambling platforms.
On October 21, 2026, former Democrat Party MP Sirichok Sopha announced he will appear before the House Committee on Law, Justice, and Human Rights on October 22. The committee, chaired by Rangsiman Rome of the People's Party, has invited Sirichok to provide information concerning the assets of Bhumjaithai Party MP Suchada Sang-thansap and her husband, Taiyang Sang.
Sirichok has publicly urged the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to investigate the financial trails of the Bitkub cryptocurrency exchange, citing concerns that the platform may be linked to the 'Shuffle' online gambling site. He stated that he intends to use the upcoming committee hearing as an opportunity to question Suchada and relevant agencies regarding these financial connections. Sirichok noted that his party has not yet utilized this specific information in formal censure debates.
For residents and observers, this development highlights ongoing parliamentary scrutiny into the intersection of digital asset platforms and potential illicit activities. While the allegations involve high-profile political figures and financial institutions, the investigation is currently in the information-gathering stage. It remains to be confirmed whether the committee will find evidence of wrongdoing or if the SEC will initiate a formal probe into the exchange's operations. No conclusions have been reached, and the proceedings are subject to further testimony.
