Thailand‘s Department of Special Investigation (DSI) has requested that prosecutors bring charges against Panthawat “Nott” Nakwisut, the beleaguered proprietor of the now-defunct Kong Salak Plus online lottery platform, and 16 others for money laundering and gambling offences.

 

On Friday, DSI detectives submitted their findings to the public prosecutors at the Attorney-General’s Office in Bangkok, situated on Ratchadapisek Road.

 

Pongsathon Inamnuay, DSI’s anti-narcotics centre director, revealed that the 17 suspects were part of a group of 41 individuals implicated in the case. Four suspects remain in custody, whilst 20 still evade arrest warrants.

 

Panthawat, commonly known as “Nott Kong Salak Plus,” was the CEO of the once-popular Kong Salak Plus, which ceased operations in February 2023. He faces charges of conspiring in money laundering due to his alleged involvement in delivering winning lottery tickets to a man referred to as “Foey” in order for him to cash in the prizes, totalling 53 million baht.

 

The sum was then transferred to Panthawat’s bank account. The other 16 suspects reportedly participated in opening bank accounts and withdrawing funds. Consequently, they have all been charged with money laundering and managing gambling services.

And in the last draw on April 16th, on another digital app, someone so happened to buy 19 identical tickets to collect 114 million baht. What are the odds of that?

 

They supposedly want to shut down the corrupt apps. Heh. It's not a matter of which is corrupt, but which one cut the right deals.
