The Bank of Thailand's discovery of 140 billion baht worth of 1,000-baht banknotes that have not returned to the financial system, alongside 250 billion baht in suspicious transactions using the digital stablecoin Tether, known as USDT, detected over five months, should set off alarm bells far beyond the central bank.
How big is 140 billion baht? It is equivalent to the annual investment budget of all 46 state enterprises combined.
