Thai Police Receive Crypto Casino Money-Trail Data
Thai police have received money-trail data from three crypto exchanges linked to the Shuffle.com crypto casino, a Curaçao-registered platform. Police Major General Siriwat Deepho, a deputy inspector general, said officials have set up 80 task-force teams to plan next steps in the case. The case is more complex than typical illegal gambling sites, as Shuffle operates on cryptocurrency and players convert crypto into the platform's own token to bet. The case is being investigated under Section 5 of the criminal code, which covers offenses committed outside Thailand that affect the country, and police must first build cases against players in Thailand before moving on the operator.
