Meta’s joint enforcement this time is truly brutal—1.4 million accounts were deleted immediately. Southeast Asia’s “pig-butchering” scams have finally hit a wall.

CoinWorld News reports that Meta, in collaboration with the FBI, the U.S. Department of Justice, Thai police, Microsoft, Coinbase, Starlink, and others, has launched its largest anti-fraud operation to date, targeting Southeast Asian scam hubs and transnational criminal networks. The operation began on May 18 and will last for two weeks, during which Thai police have arrested 63 individuals suspected of being involved with scam centers. Meta stated that it has removed approximately 1.4 million scam-related accounts, pages, and groups on Facebook and Instagram. Coinbase has frozen over $3 million in crypto assets related to the criminal network. The types of scams include pig-butchering schemes, crypto investment scams, romance scams, and some hubs are also involved in forced labor.
