DSI Summons Ex-MP Sirichok Over Shuffle Gambling Probe
Former Democrat MP Sirichok Sopha has been summoned by the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) for questioning on October 22 regarding his allegations about the Shuffle.com online gambling operation. The DSI's "Top Secret Urgent" letter indicates the case may involve violations of the Computer Crime Act and other criminal laws. Sirichok, who lost his re-election bid, also addressed Prime Minister Anutin, asserting that electoral defeat does not strip a citizen's right to scrutinize those in power.
On October 20, 2026, former Democrat Party MP Sirichok Sopha posted on his Facebook page "Sirichok Sopha" stating: "Since the day I began exposing Shuffle.com, the DSI has now sent me a letter stamped 'Top Secret' and 'Urgent' in red, dated October 19, 2026.
Over the past several weeks, I have devoted most of my time to uncovering the truth about Shuffle.com — from its shareholder structure and massive profits from online gambling to its financial trails and connections with figures in Thai politics. Much of the information lies overseas; some documents took days to locate, and certain transactions had to be traced step by step. Some nights I sat at my computer until late, just to find answers to lingering questions. The deeper I dug, the more suspicious details emerged, and the more I felt this matter should not be allowed to fade into silence.
Along the way there were people offering encouragement, people helping supply information, and people questioning my motives. Some viewed it as politics; some even brought up election results to sneer at me. I never expected everyone to agree with me, but I have always believed that facts do not change according to anyone's likes or dislikes, and the truth does not need permission from the powerful before it can be revealed.
Today I received a letter from the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) stamped 'Top Secret' and 'Urgent,' dated October 19, 2026. The letter states that the DSI is investigating Shuffle.com, which may involve violations of the Computer Crime Act and other criminal offenses, and invites me to give testimony and submit evidence on October 22.
I admit I felt a deep sense of relief upon reading it — not because I have defeated anyone, but because the information I have spent so long gathering and verifying is finally entering a lawful investigative process.
From foreign corporate documents to transaction figures checked line by line, to the questions I once posted on Facebook, the Shuffle.com case has now taken another step forward.
Of course, this letter does not mean anyone is guilty, and I do not know where the investigation will lead. But I am ready to hand over all information and evidence I have to the officials in full.
Because I believe exposing the truth is only the beginning; making wrongdoers answer for their actions is the true destination of justice.
I want to thank everyone who has followed, encouraged, and supplied information throughout. Some we may never have met, but we share one thing: we do not want to see our country used as a source of profit for just a few groups.
For me, this letter is not the end of the Shuffle.com story, but another step in a journey that must continue.
And before I close, I want to leave a word for Prime Minister Anutin.
I accept that I lost the election. A loss is a loss — there is nothing to be ashamed of, because winning and losing are normal in a democratic system.
But what I want you to understand is that losing an election does not mean a person has lost their worth or their right to serve the country.
Democracy does not grant rights only to those who win elections, and correctness is not the exclusive property of those in power.
Those who win have the right to govern the country; those who lose still have the right to scrutinize those who govern.
Because the people did not grant power to anyone on the condition that they must..."
