Scam-Busting Sanctions: UK and US Freeze Assets of Notorious Southeast Asian Fraud Network
The UK and US have sanctioned a network operating illegal scam centers in Southeast Asia, freezing assets linked to the Prince Group and chairman Chen Zhi. These scam centers ruin lives, luring victims with fake job offers and laundering money through a complex web of businesses. The UK vows to keep dirty money out.
Hot Take:
Looks like the UK and US governments are playing Monopoly with real estate moguls, but instead of “Go to Jail,” it’s “Go to Frozen Assets!” The Prince Group may have thought they were kings of the scam castle, but they’ve been royally dethroned – and now their plush London pads are on ice, just in time for winter!
