The Nation (5 November 2009: “We’re closing in on rumour-mongers : police”) has a somewhat garbled report on the arrest and bailing of the third suspect in the king’s health rumor case, Somjet Itthiworakul.
The story has some information on Somjet. He is said to be the owner of a snooker bar in Chon Buri who allegedly posted unverified assertions that led to a stock market plunge last week is the link who will lead to the arrest of those behind rumour-mongering and their accomplices, a senior police officer said yesterday.”
Somjet reportedly admitted” posting the items on his computer, but claimed he did not send them out on the Internet…”. It is unclear what this might mean. The police seem to think he did circulate material. When and where is not explained.

Meanwhile, the attempt to link the rumors to Thaksin Shinawatra continues. Businessman, former Ponzi scheme manipulator and
anti-Thaksin activist Ekkayuth Anchanbutr raised the issue of “ who had benefited from the plunge on October 14 as a result of rumours, especially in state-regulated funds including the Social Security Office and the Government Pension Fund.”
