Former MP Demands Probe Into MP's Husband's Gambling Site Stake

Former MP Sirichok Sopa accuses Bhumjaithai MP Suchada Chang’s husband of holding an undeclared 1% stake in gambling site Shuffle.com, claiming it constitutes a false asset declaration. He calls for the Anti-Money Laundering Office and cyber police to investigate, asserting the site violates Thailand’s Gambling Act and is linked to over 100 million baht via Bitkub. Sirichok denies personal motives, saying he acted after noticing irregularities following a parliamentary exchange.

Sirichok accuses ‘Ideer’ of admitting her husband holds shares in gambling site, saying the undeclared stake amounts to false asset disclosure; he calls for the Anti-Money Laundering Office and cyber police to investigate, insisting Shuffle.com violates Thai law. On 16 October 2026, former Songkhla MP Sirichok Sopa of the Democrat Party said on the show ‘Tok No Taeung’ that Bhumjaithai Party MP Suchada Chang Thansap had acknowledged her husband Taiyang Chang holds a 1% stake in Shuffle.com’s parent company, Mixed Order Limited, in a jurisdiction where it is legal, and that she does not know whether she has ever received money from the shares. Sirichok argues that because the stake was not declared to the National Anti-Corruption Commission, the asset declaration is false or concealed. He adds that the site clearly breaks Thailand’s Gambling Act, citing links to Bitkub and over 100 million baht in funds over three years, and urges the Anti-Money Laundering Office and cyber police to determine the husband’s involvement. When asked whether his persistence in digging up information on Suchada and her husband stems from personal resentment after she said she did not know him, Sirichok denied any personal grudge, suggesting it may be her misfortune, noting he had not closely followed her parliamentary debates, but after seeing the outburst of Move Forward Party list MP Rangsiman Rome, he became suspicious, investigated, found irregularities, and felt obliged to expose them to the public.
