BANKKOK1688 reportedly offered unlicensed lottery-style draws, sports betting and casino games.
Thailand.- The Royal Thai Police’s Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau has arrested six people for allegedly laundering over 2.4bn baht via mule accounts and cryptocurrency platforms linked to the dismantled BANKKOK1688 online gambling operation.
The suspects were identified as Kirin Chanhom, 30; Panuphol Ngaokrajang, 20; Benjawan Ponglakhorn, 40; Chaowarit Saengsuk, 43; Chaianan Hatsadi, 19; and Siwara Sirikrajang, 27. Investigators allege they were involved in managing accounts used in financial transactions tied to the gambling platform.
BANKKOK1688, which reportedly offered unlicensed lottery-style draws, sports betting, and casino games, operated for about a year before being shut down by authorities. Pol Maj Gen Siriwat Deepor, commander of Cyber Crime Investigation Division 1, said that during that period the site amassed over 10,000 members and generated about 200m baht (US$6.25m) in revenue each month.
He cited an instance in which a suspect allegedly opened a digital asset trading account, completed identity verification, and gave the associated bank accounts and mobile phone to an associate in Cambodia. The account was then used to receive gambling proceeds, which were converted into cryptocurrency worth 59m baht (US$1.8m) and transferred to overseas exchanges, including Binance, to make tracing more difficult.
