      About time too. The sheer number of lives they would have destroyed is mind boggling.

      I have no trouble accessing the BBC. But for those hindered by a „dynamic paywall“, here’s the core of the article…

      >The family is among a handful of mafias that rose to power in the 2000s and transformed the impoverished backwater town of Laukkaing into a lucrative hub of casinos and red-light districts.

      >In recent years they pivoted to scams in which thousands of trafficked workers, many of them Chinese, are trapped, abused and forced to defraud others in criminal operations worth billions.

      >Mafia boss Bai Suocheng and his son Bai Yingcang were among the five men sentenced to death by the Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court. Yang Liqiang, Hu Xiaojiang and Chen Guangyi were the other three.

      >Two members of the Bai family mafia were handed suspended death sentences. Five were sentenced to life imprisonment, while nine others were handed jail sentences ranging from three to 20 years.

      >The Bais, who controlled their own militia, established 41 compounds to house their cyberscam activities and casinos, authorities said.

      > In all 21 Bai family members and associates were convicted of fraud, homicide, injury and other crimes, said a state media report published on the court website.

      I’ve heard so many stories about people being trafficked to work in these scam centres. The conditions are horrific, I’m surprised it took so long for them to be punished.

      The whole scam industry is funded and operated by China government. These are just scapegoats.

      How is a Chinese court convicting people who committed crimes in another country? How did they even arrest them unless they entered China? The article also stated that they controlled their own militia and had billions of dollars.

      These kinds of mafias operate in Myanmar and Cambodia and has been a huge issue for some years now.

      They are not just scammers, they’re human traffickers who kidnapped . torture and murder numerous people , many young people from different Asian countries got lured into fake job opportunities overseas ,they got imprisoned and enslave by these criminals gangs , multiple scam mobs operate there, between these gang they sold victims to each other.

      Some family have to pay ransom to get their kids back, and oftentimes these victims are lured there by their own friends and family, last month there’s a news about a South Korean college kid who gets murder after his friend set him up , some criminal specialize on getting people to those countries and they get pay per person.
