Police from the Technology Crime Suppression Centre broke up a major Chinese-owned online gambling operation on Friday. The organisation is reported to have had about 500 million baht in daily turnover and operated from a hotel in the Hua Mark area of Bangkok.

 

About 50 people, mostly Chinese, were found in the hotel, along with 50 computer notebooks and 53 smart phones.

 

Police said that all of them helped to operate the online gambling site, with some in charge of tending to the server and others working as administrators and sales people, persuading potential customers, mostly Chinese, to gamble through their website.

Great work ! Busted an operation with revenues around the same size as SCB and AIS, of USD 13 million per day/USD 5 billion per year. The RTP are just so awesome !

 

Alternatively, perhaps someone at Thai PBS might want to engage some brain and skepticism when reporting figures provided by the RTP press officer… 

Police start online gambling run by Chinese in new venture is probably the next step ????

Chinese appear to be putting the Nigerians to shame these days - but you cab bet a great % of Nigerians see jail time !

Working without a work permit? Immediate deportation, normally, I believe.

Chinese doing what Chinese do best...

Keep on dreaming; those China boys are sooooo much smarter than Somchai the police guy in his too small uniform, face mask, sun glasses and his particular selection of guns and motorbikes of the day ???? 

Anyone want to bet they will be up and running again by tomorrow, or next week at the latest?
