About

Chen Zhi is a Chinese-born businessman accused of masterminding a vast cryptocurrency scam from Cambodia. His extradition to China has been facilitated by international pressure on Cambodia to crack down on cross-border fraud and trafficking. The scam allegedly involved trafficked workers being held in prison-like facilities, with victims defrauded globally. Recent events include Chen's arrest in Cambodia, his extradition to China, and the release of thousands of suspected victims from scam compounds across Cambodia. This case highlights the growing concern over regional scam networks and the need for cooperation among countries to combat transnational crime.
