Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 26 — According to The Block, the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office and the Home Office jointly announced sanctions against individuals involved in the illegal cryptocurrency market Xinbi and Southeast Asian scam networks. According to blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis, Xinbi processed over $19.9 billion in transactions between 2021 and 2025, involving money laundering, unlicensed over-the-counter trading, and the sale of stolen personal data. The United Kingdom is the first country to impose sanctions on Xinbi.

The sanctions also target Legend Innovation Co., the operator of the “#8 Park” scam base in Cambodia, and its leader Eang Soklim. The base is believed to hold up to 20,000 trafficked workers. Meanwhile, multiple properties in London have been frozen, including a £100 million office building, two luxury homes, and a helicopter. UK officials stated that this operation aims to cut off the financial infrastructure of the scam networks and will promote broader international coordination at the illegal financial summit in June this year.
