【比推】This week at the International Criminal Police Organization General Assembly held in Marrakech, heavyweight news has emerged—crypto assets fraud has been officially classified as a core threat of transnational crime. This is not just talk; global law enforcement agencies have already started to join forces to cut off the financial lifeline of these criminal networks.

The tactics of these criminals are quite ruthless: they use high-paying overseas jobs as bait to lure people to illegal dens, where they are directly forced to start working—engaging in activities such as voice phishing, pig butchering scams, investment fraud, and Crypto Assets scams. Victims are spread across more than sixty countries, trapped in the quagmire of human trafficking and forced labor, unable to move. These gangs are exceptionally skilled in technology, capable of precise scamming while also adept at laundering traces, with an absurd adaptability for cross-border crimes.

The fraud center first caused a stir in Southeast Asia, and has now infiltrated parts of Russia, Colombia, the coastal areas of East Africa, and even some corners of the UK. In May this year, the US Department of the Treasury directly cut off the financial channels of the Cambodian Huibang Group, citing allegations of money laundering involving $4 billion. This month, the US Department of Justice has teamed up with multiple agencies to form a special task force, in coordination with Interpol's recent resolution, and the global crackdown has now entered the practical stage.

Pig-butchering scams are getting more ruthless, with victims spread across more than sixty countries and still increasing. --- Interpol finally took action; it should have been done long ago. These scammers are indeed skilled. --- It's the same old Southeast Asia playbook. When can we truly cut off the links of these criminal organizations? --- Forced labor combined with fraud is much darker than I imagined; this is no longer just a crypto world issue. --- The U.S. Treasury cutting off the flow of funds is just the beginning; the key is to root out the big fish behind it all. --- Victims from over sixty countries, and the numbers might double; it's terrifying. --- Money laundering techniques are so advanced that most exchanges can't detect them. --- This time, Interpol's cooperation might really be serious; before, it was just talk. --- It feels like the crypto world ecosystem is increasingly contaminated by these dark forces, dragging down decent people. --- Human trafficking is quite frightening, with fraud also involving forced labor, and the nature has completely changed.

Pig-butchering scams are still so bold? Interpol finally can't sit still --- Here we go again, are they really going to crack down this time? It's about time --- Those guys in Southeast Asia are really skilled, their money laundering methods are hard to guard against --- How is forced labor still expanding? The law enforcement efficiency is concerning --- With such a complete fraud chain, is just freezing funds really enough? --- Over sixty countries have fallen, we need to be vigilant --- This nest in Cambodia should have been taken down long ago, how long has it been dragging on? --- The key is that these people have a strong ability to Rug Pull, can we really combat this across the entire network? --- There are still people who believe in high salaries, we need to raise our alertness --- With such advanced money laundering techniques, they can't escape on-chain either, right?

The trap of Pig-butchering scams is really amazing; scammers can operate in such an international manner. Regulation needs to step up its efforts.

Pig-butchering scams are so rampant that Interpol has finally taken action; what's meant to come has come. --- It's the same old story from Southeast Asia, their technology is really amazing, too bad it’s used in the wrong place. --- Victims from over sixty countries, this scale is absurd, how deep must the Money Laundering chain be? --- The U.S. Treasury has cut off the financial lifeline; this is a real strike, other countries need to follow suit. --- The scammers' technology is stronger than that of some companies; it's ironic. --- Stuck in illegal dens doing fishing scams? This is more absurd than crime itself, people have no freedom. --- Their adaptability to cross-border crimes is absurdly strong, indicating that international law enforcement cooperation is indeed a shortcoming. --- I just want to know where these Money Laundering outlets are and how they can be traced back. --- Southeast Asian scam groups have infiltrated the UK? It’s globalized crime.

The scams have really escalated to this level, it's hard to hold back now, it feels like the regulators are really going to get tough this time. --- Are Pig-butchering scams now a form of transnational crime? How outrageous, spanning over sixty countries. --- Uh... these people are indeed skilled, their Money Laundering capabilities are off the charts, and ordinary retail investors simply can't defend against it. --- Are there still people falling for this overseas high-paying job scheme? Enough, there’s no real "pie" on the internet. --- It feels like the intervention of Interpol is just the beginning; with such a deep black market chain, severing the financial lifeline might not be that effective.
