Thai Actor 'Film' Rattapoom Faces DSI Questioning in Forex Fraud Case
Actor Rattapoom 'Film' Tokongsub has reported to the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) to acknowledge charges related to an unauthorized Forex trading scheme.
On August 3, 2026, Thai actor Rattapoom 'Film' Tokongsub appeared at the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) to acknowledge charges linked to an ongoing investigation into an unauthorized Forex trading operation. According to Khaosod Online, the DSI summoned 22 individuals in connection with the case, which involves allegations of public fraud, operating an unlicensed brokerage, and money laundering.
The investigation centers on financial transactions totaling 142 million baht linked to two brokerage firms. Authorities identified a connection between the actor and Ether Wealth Co., Ltd., a firm allegedly involved in the network. Investigators also noted a transfer of funds from an individual named Phuritut to the actor. Rattapoom has publicly denied any involvement in the illicit activities described in the investigation's financial charts.
For residents and visitors, this case highlights the ongoing regulatory crackdown on unlicensed financial services in Thailand. While the actor has presented himself to authorities to address the allegations, the legal process is in its early stages. It remains to be confirmed whether the evidence presented by the DSI will lead to formal indictments or if the actor’s defense will successfully clarify the nature of the financial transactions in question. The DSI continues to process the 22 suspects involved in this complex financial fraud case.
