[Members free, non-members 350 baht, students and Thai press with ID 150 baht.]The Whale Hunting investigation is the talk of Thailand. This series of investigative reports has exposed an alleged criminal network involved in massive cross-border scamming and money-laundering operations in Cambodia, Thailand and beyond. Its revelations have been cited in the Thai parliament, reported widely in the media and have unsettled a number of powerful figures — particularly with the presumption that more revelations are in store.
A key contributor to Whale Hunting is Tom Wright, an award-winning investigative journalist and co-author of the 2018 bestseller Billion Dollar Whale, which uncovered the 1MDB scandal in Malaysia. Ultimately, that brought about the downfall and imprisonment of Prime Minister Najib Razak. Wright is also the creator and host of Fat Leonard, a nine-part podcast about the military contractor who corrupted the U.S. Navy, and Crypto Kingpins, which dives into power struggles at the top of the crypto world.
Wright has spent more than two decades reporting from Asia for The Wall Street Journal. A Pulitzer finalist and Gerald Loeb Award winner, he received the 2020 Shorenstein Award from Stanford University for his outstanding contribution to journalism in Asia.
