According to Thailand's “Khao Sod English” newspaper, Thai Prime Minister Anutin announced that police have launched a nationwide “Eradicate Cross-border Scams” operation in 22 provinces, seizing assets worth over 10 billion baht (about $313 million). The operation targeted transnational scam networks colluding with Cambodian crime groups and involved four major cases. These include: a network linked to Sino-Cambodian businessman Chen Zhi, accused of money laundering through cryptocurrency and converting it into various assets (involving about $11.7 million); the Kok An call center scam network; the Tangmo Thai network related to Cambodian businessmen Yim Leak and Ben Smith (involving about $290 million); and the Eua-Angkoon network, which conducted scams through the fake app “ULELA Max.”
