The Billion-Dollar Scam Industry No One Can Stop
Lured by fake job ads, thousands of people from over 60 countries have been trafficked across Myanmar's border and forced to run sophisticated scam operations at gunpoint.

Chinese crime gangs have built a $40 billion industry in the lawless border regions of a country torn apart by civil war, and the money flows straight back to the militias keeping it all alive.
