webfact Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 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.

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… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 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 ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
