Thai Police Secure Shuffle.com Financial Data from Three Exchanges

Thai cyber police have obtained transaction records from three cryptocurrency exchanges as part of an investigation into fund flows linked to crypto casino Shuffle.com, according to Deputy Inspector General Siriwat Deepho, who said on the 2nd that "operations related to this case will clearly proceed," as reported by TV5HD. Police have formed 80 investigation teams but have not disclosed the names of the exchanges that provided the data. The strategy is to first examine Thai users to establish evidence of criminal activity under Article 5 of the Thai criminal code, then extend the probe to overseas operators. Police noted that Shuffle.com is registered in Curaçao, which raises questions about jurisdiction and applicable charges. The case matters because it signals heightened regulatory scrutiny of crypto gambling platforms and the exchanges facilitating their fund flows in Thailand. Watch for whether authorities name the cooperating exchanges and whether the investigation expands to foreign operators.
