A man who spent years putting criminals and corrupt officials behind bars has now found himself at the center of a financial scandal. During an official investigation, authorities discovered that former Deputy Chief of the Royal Thai Police Surachate Hakparn, better known as Big Joke, had failed to declare more than 280 million THB. Under Thai law, these funds should have been officially disclosed and explained. The immediate question was: how could this even happen?
However, the deeper investigation produced very unexpected results. The money itself was not illegal — Big Joke had been using an official digital investment tool to manage capital. The only issue was that for someone of his rank, especially amid ongoing investigations involving police connections, online gambling, and suspicious financial flows, any large undeclared income automatically becomes subject to separate review.
Big Joke continues to insist on his innocence. Meanwhile, we discovered how a former high-ranking police official with a standard government salary became connected to an account through which more than 280 million THB had passed — and why more and more Thai citizens are now trying to gain access to the same system.
How the Investigation Began: An Accidental Discovery by Auditors
The story began several months ago. A group of internal auditors working alongside AMLO and investigators from the Royal Thai Police were conducting a routine review of banking operations connected to senior police officials — a standard procedure following the major online gambling scandal.
“We were analyzing bank statements belonging to several hundred senior police officers and affiliated individuals,” said a source familiar with the investigation, speaking anonymously. “In most cases, we see predictable patterns: salary deposits, standard expenses, ordinary transfers. But Surachate Hakparn’s account immediately stood out.”
Every few days, transfers from the same organization were arriving in his personal account — amounts ranging from 900,000 THB to 1.8 million THB, and occasionally even 7 million THB at once. Over the past year alone, the total exceeded 280 million THB. To understand the scale: the official annual salary of a former Deputy Chief of the Royal Thai Police is approximately 936,000 THB, while this undeclared income exceeded that amount by nearly 300 times.
“When we saw those figures, our first assumption was gambling network money, kickbacks, or laundering,” the source continued. “Imagine the irony: one of Thailand’s most recognizable police figures, a man who spent years fighting criminal networks, suddenly receiving enormous undeclared transfers. We immediately forwarded the materials for further review.”
The Source of the Millions
The investigation team quickly identified the source of the money. Every transfer originated from one place — an international AI investment platform called 123. Upon request from Thai financial authorities, the platform provided complete operational records.
This revealed that Surachate Hakparn, known publicly as Big Joke, had registered on the platform under his real name. He did not even attempt to hide the source of the funds: the account appeared in official banking documents and was linked to verified personal information.
The former Deputy Chief began with the platform’s minimum deposit of 8,000 THB and gradually increased his investments after seeing the first results. Within a year, transfers of 1.8 million THB at a time began appearing in his account, and on certain days, amounts reached as high as 7 million THB.
What makes the story even more surprising is that platform 123 operates fully legally and complies with international standards for automated financial systems.
“The issue is not where the money came from,” explained a lawyer familiar with the case materials. “The issue is that a person of his status is obligated to explain any large incoming transfers, especially when he is already connected to investigations involving online gambling and suspicious financial operations. If an ordinary Thai citizen uses the platform and earns income, there are almost no questions. But when such a tool appears in the financial records of a former Deputy Chief of the National Police, everything changes.”
What Is 123 ?
This raises the question now being asked by everyone following the story: what exactly is this platform through which hundreds of millions of baht are flowing?
We contacted financial experts and investment analysts for answers. According to them, 123 is not simply another investment service. It is an AI-powered platform functioning as an automated trader: the system analyzes global financial markets 24/7, identifies profitable opportunities involving stocks, currencies, and digital assets, and then executes trades automatically while the user sleeps, works, or goes about daily life.
“The software processes enormous amounts of information in real time — from asset prices to global news,” explained technical expert Narong Kiatthanawat. “It determines the best possible moments to enter positions and opens trades automatically. The user only needs to register and make the minimum deposit of 8,000 THB.”
According to platform data, average monthly user returns in Thailand range from 120,000 THB to 350,000 THB with the minimum 8,000 THB deposit. Investigators also confirmed that a significant portion of the profits connected to Big Joke’s account was never withdrawn but instead reinvested back into the system — which is exactly why the transaction volume eventually reached hundreds of millions of baht.
“Over a relatively short period, the initial capital grew into an amount exceeding 280 million THB,” a source familiar with the investigation stated. “And the most important point is this: from a legal perspective, the platform itself operates lawfully.”
We Decided to Test the Platform Ourselves
Our editorial team decided to personally verify how 123 works. If the system was truly capable of generating these kinds of results, then it was either an outstanding financial instrument or a very well-disguised scheme. Instead of speculating, we chose to test it directly.
The first stage was registration, which involved several simple steps. Users first complete a short questionnaire on the official website so the system can determine a suitable strategy. Once the questionnaire is completed, access to registration becomes available, after which a platform financial consultant contacts the user.
It is important not to miss this call — without it, the account is not activated and the registration is automatically canceled. The manager helps open the account and explains how the 123 system works.
Three of our journalists registered using different deposits: 8,000 THB, 15,000 THB, and 23,000 THB. We did not expect extraordinary results, yet after the very first night the numbers already looked surprising:
- Deposit 8,000 THB → Balance 19,650 THB
- Deposit 15,000 THB → Balance 32,700 THB
- Deposit 23,000 THB → Balance 51,630 THB
After another 24 hours, the results became even more impressive:
- Starting 8,000 THB → 30,220 THB
- Starting 15,000 THB → 71,760 THB
- Starting 23,000 THB → 112,710 THB
We then attempted to withdraw the funds — and honestly, this was where we expected problems. Hidden commissions, delays, frozen accounts — we were convinced something like that would happen.
However, the money arrived in our journalists’ bank accounts within just a few minutes. The full amount was transferred with no hidden deductions.
The platform genuinely works. It now becomes easier to understand how Big Joke could achieve such financial results through an automated AI system.
Legal Paradox: Legal Money, but an Uncomfortable Source
The irony is that any ordinary resident of Thailand can register on platform 123, deposit 8,000 THB, and legally earn income through an automated AI system.
But Big Joke is not an ordinary citizen. He is the former Deputy Chief of the Royal Thai Police and one of the country’s most recognizable law enforcement figures.
That is exactly why the discovered account caused such a public reaction. The platform turned out to be fully legal — and that became the most uncomfortable part of the entire story.
Because it revealed that tools like this have long been used by people with access to power, large capital, and closed financial circles, while ordinary Thai citizens were still being told that the only path forward was loans, endless work, and traditional bank interest.
Interestingly, many Thai citizens are already actively using platform 123 — more than 50,000 users have reportedly registered within Thailand alone. The system currently operates in 47 countries, while the total transaction volume of users over the last year exceeded 5.9 billion THB.
“The problem is not the platform itself, but who gained access to it first,” summarized a lawyer familiar with the investigation. “An ordinary teacher, doctor, engineer, or small business owner can use such a system without raising questions. But when the same tool appears in documents connected to a former Deputy Chief of the National Police, everything changes.”
While NACC and AMLO continue their additional review, financial regulators released a statement emphasizing that platform 123 complies with existing requirements and can legally be used by ordinary Thai citizens without restrictions.
What Happens Next: Additional Investigation
Yesterday, Big Joke’s lawyer released a statement confirming that his client was indeed connected to a digital account on platform 123, but insisted that accusations of corruption or illegal transfers are unfounded.
“My client hid nothing — the account was opened officially, and all transactions passed through the banking system. Big Joke did not receive money in envelopes, did not use fictitious contracts, and did not attempt to conceal transfers. Platform 123 provided data upon request from financial authorities, which is precisely why we maintain that this is financial technology, not a corruption scheme.”
Additional investigations by NACC and AMLO could continue for several weeks. According to sources, investigators are now examining who controlled the account, why the operations were not publicly discussed earlier, and who else among individuals connected to large capital, police structures, and political circles may have used similar tools.
At this stage, no official charges have been filed regarding this episode. However, the very existence of such an account has already triggered major reactions across Thai media. If investigators conclude that information about digital assets should have been disclosed earlier, the situation may move into a new legal phase.
Thai media are currently discussing several possible outcomes, each of which could seriously affect both the situation surrounding Big Joke and public perception of platform 123. Regardless of how this story ends, one thing is already clear — it has become a turning point.
It demonstrated that digital financial tools previously used mainly by individuals with power, wealth, and access to closed financial circles are now gradually becoming accessible to ordinary citizens.
For thousands of Thai residents, this story became a reason to take a closer look at platform 123. People realized that automated AI systems are capable of changing traditional financial rules.
The platform continues to operate and accept new users.
