Das von Crypto angetriebene Finanz -Betrüger -Reich in Kambodscha in Höhe von 19 Milliarden US -Dollar, sagt Watchdog Group

tldr; A report by Humanity Research Consultancy (HRC) reveals Cambodia’s ruling elite is deeply involved in a $19 billion scam economy fueled by cryptocurrency. Senior officials, including relatives of Prime Minister Hun Manet, are linked to fraud schemes involving trafficked labor and crypto-based laundering networks. The Huione Group is identified as a key player, with its platforms processing billions in illicit funds. The scams, including ‚pig butchering,‘ exploit crypto’s pseudonymity and global reach, making Cambodia a hub for transnational fraud.
