According to Hong Kong SAR Government press release, the Hong Kong Police Force, together with law enforcement agencies from Brunei, Canada, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, Maldives, Singapore, South Korea, and Thailand, conducted joint operations through the cross-border anti-fraud cooperation platform FRONTIER+ from March 10 to May 7.


During nearly two months of operations, 10 law enforcement agencies arrested a total of 3,018 people, involving over 138,000 fraud cases, with total losses amounting to USD 752 million, and froze 101,989 bank accounts, intercepting approximately USD 161 million in scam funds.
The case with the largest loss involved a communication software account "hijacking" incident in April, where a Singapore company was scammed out of USD 36 million, with the funds transferred to multiple local and Hong Kong bank accounts.
About half of the funds were converted into stablecoins and dispersed into different virtual asset wallets.
Ultimately, the police in both regions successfully intercepted USD 20 million of the scam proceeds.
