In late 2024, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un sent nearly 15,000 soldiers to support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Pyongyang reportedly earned more than $620 million in the first year. But Kyiv says the troops were unprepared for drone warfare. https://t.co/PwDT3OYpZt
When China started investigating them in 2020, the Prince Group's leadership started looking for a safe haven to call home, a former insider told me. The US wouldn't take them, but the UK left the door wide open.
My latest for @thetimes w/@dicklp:

Watch Cambodia’s Cyber Slaves to learn more about Prince Group and other criminal syndicates behind the forced-labour scamming epidemic in Southeast Asia. https://t.co/S2dWzsUuh1
US and UK launch largest asset forfeiture in history, seizing $15 billion in crypto from Prince Group boss Chen Zhi, who has been indicted for running pig butchering scams. 101 East exposed Prince Group’s scam operations for the first time in 2022. https://t.co/jaMZjLV8k3
A very misleading picture presented on ABC RN this morning. Cambodian Govt has no intention of stopping cybercrime, its wealth depends on it. ABC needs to present the alternative, human rights view #Cambodia
Wondering if Ken Gamble has registered with #Australia’s Foreign Interference Public Register...This @abcnews interview sounds a lot like the perspective of a paid CPP lobbyist.

@phnompenhpost What about Xu Aimin… director of notorious scam compound in Sihanoukville, KB Hotel, and business partner of Kok An’s deceased son in law, Rthy Samnang, and wanted by Chinese and Hong Kong authorities… has he been sent back?
Could this time could be different? Could a genuine effort to dismantle the scam economy finally be underway in @Dr_Hunmanet_PM's #Cambodia?
I really don't think so. Here's why in my latest @Diplomat_APAC column.

Delighted to see my analysis appear in this terrific @WIRED exposé.
“There's no real legal culpability that tech companies have for what happens on their platform…until that changes, I just don't know what incentive they have to be proactive“ said Sims.

@jolleyma Mary Ann Jolley also asked whether the capture of Jho Low could lead to more people getting implicated, which view was acknowledged by Anwar. Bottomline, Anwar could not detail any strong effort from his Government's part to extradite Jho Low. He even denied Jho Low was in China.
If you watch the interview in full, it was @jolleyma who brought in the subject of Jho Low and specifically asked why Malaysia is not doing much to extradite Jho Low believed to be in China. https://t.co/CMU6LRrXtX
We are deeply troubled by the arrest of Mech Dara, a journalist with a
distinguished record of reporting on human trafficking.
The EU emphatically supports freedom of the press.
#MechDara
I am currently out of Cambodia but have been following the arrest and charges against Mech Dara closely. Thank you to those who have reached out to keep me updated.
I endorse the statement made by @marcjulio expressing our concern about the charges levelled.
