KH Academy continued its mission of promoting legal knowledge within society by hosting a seminar under the KH Legal Aid project, entitled “Financial Crime Alert! Understanding Financial Scams and Money Laundering in the Capital Market.” The event aimed to raise awareness about anti-money laundering laws and highlight the risks faced by the public when financial crimes are perpetrated through the capital markets.
Held at KH Academy Ratchathewi Campus on Saturday, 7 November 2026, the session was attended by students and members of the general public.
The seminar featured Mr. Wuttichai Phumsanguan, a legal expert, as the keynote speaker. He provided in-depth insights into the Anti-Money Laundering Act B.E. 2542 and discussed how to detect suspicious transactions, assess money laundering risks in securities and mutual fund businesses, and learn from real case studies and their legal consequences.
The speaker highlighted that the Thai stock market is currently being used as a channel for money laundering, which can have both direct and indirect impacts on the public. Directly, individuals may unknowingly participate in illicit activities by allowing others to use their accounts or names for trading. Indirectly, investing in stocks linked to money laundering may lead to share price declines, damaging investment value.
Mr. Wuttichai noted, “The first point of caution for the public is never to allow anyone else to use your securities trading account, whether it’s opening an account in your name or disclosing your username and password. These are warning signs of suspicious activity. If you have already shared your information or allowed someone to use your account, you should promptly contact the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and your brokerage to suspend or close your account, as this can help prevent further harm and demonstrate your intent not to participate in any wrongdoing.”
KH Legal Aid is part of KH Academy’s ongoing social responsibility mission, in partnership with Kaohoon Turakij, to spread legal knowledge and promote understanding of rights and responsibilities among the public, thereby reducing unintentional violations of the law. The seminar is held monthly, free of charge. Interested individuals can keep up to date with future events and announcements on all KH Academy platforms.
