China is sentencing pig butchering scammers to death

China has sentenced nearly 20 people, including members of prominent mafia families, to death over pig butchering scams in recent months.

Starlink a lifeline for Myanmar scam compounds, report

The scam centers have migrated to Starlink connections after electricity and internet were cut off earlier this year, AFP reports.

Myanmar militias that once protected these scam centers are now demanding that the Chinese gangsters running them leave their regions.

Chinese abductions prompted Thailand’s government to cut off the electricity supply to crypto scam centers in Myanmar today.

Pig-butchering scams based at the Myanmar compound have reportedly raked in around $100 million in USDT over the past two years.
