The article below is good but you will note when reading the article that many of the scammers and people human trafficked were moved out of the compound before the raid. This means the government gave the scam bosses a heads up first because we all know the Cambodian Government is very corrupt and helps keep the scams alive!

These raids appear to be more of a publicity stunt then an actual crack down. There is Not a single mention of a big boss getting arrested even though Cambodia is fully aware of who runs all the scams.

Some of the bosses are moving compounds to Myanmar which is already home to the same pig butchering scams ran in Cambodia and Laos.

Banks ban crypto payments over fraud spike - Which? News

What are crypto scams and why are UK banks taking action?

This is a very efficient action !

The Banks must cut every transaction to ALL crypto trading platforms, like also CRYPTO.COM and others.

Simply because Binance will bypass sanctions. Second, like .. Crypto.com didn't warn that the BTC will be transfered to another wallet, who is already reported as an abuse by others victims.

I hope the Banks also ask a huge financial fine to these cryptos plateforms, like Netherlands did it. Cryptos plateforms let criminals stealing money from victims.
