A criminal network connected to disgraced crypto firm KuCoin and a Thai political dynasty is moving hundreds of millions of dollars in dirty money across Southeast Asia, and U.S. law enforcement wants to stop it.
At Whale Hunting, we've exposed a shadowy criminal network tied to a Thai political dynasty. Today we reveal how they built a deep crypto empire to launder hundreds of millions of dollars, a story that puts them directly on the radar of U.S. law enforcement.
Our investigation reveals this network is protected by former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. It's linked to disgraced crypto firm KuCoin, which was recently indicted for failing to implement anti-money laundering provisions. According to our reporting, the network has used a bitcoin mining operation in Laos and secretly built a large stake in a Thai securities company to move huge amounts of illicit funds from Cambodian scam hubs, costing American victims billions.
With political turmoil now stripping away the network’s high-level cover, our work has never been more critical. We must follow the money trail to hold those in power accountable.
