🚨 Thai woman given death sentence after poisoning 15 people to cover gambling debts

Channel 3 in Thailand did a deep dive on her case. She lost everything in just 8 months. Started with slots, moved to baccarat... According to their investigation, she first discovered online gambling through Facebook ads while working overtime at the jewelry store. Started with 1000 baht bets ($30), quickly escalated to 50,000 ($1500) per hand in baccarat. The sites kept raising her limits because she was losing so much. They found chat logs where she begged VIP hosts for loans, promising to pay "very soon." She was playing on multiple devices simultaneously, sometimes not sleeping for days. Her coworkers said she was constantly checking her phone, taking loans from everyone who would lend. The scariest part? The investigation found evidence she was still trying to gamble even after the first few poisonings. Pure addiction.
 
interesting how thai media's using this case to push for gambling law reform tho. Been watching various news channels here, and they're finally talking about the elephant in the room - how prohibition just pushes everything underground. they interviewed gambling addiction experts, economists, even former underground operators. Everyone's saying the same thing: the current system only benefits criminal organizations. Some MPs are using this case to propose regulated online gambling, similar to Singapore's model. The argument is that at least legal sites have player protection, addiction monitoring, bet limits. Sure,underground games would still exis, but at least vulnerable people would have a safer option. The public reaction to this case might actually force some real changes in the law
