The article states than an estimated 75 billion dollars have been lost since 2020, the corruption goes way beyond local cops, and in Myanmar probably involves the government directly. Whole cities are being built for scamming. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2025/sep/08/m...

That’s probably an underestimate. The Economist estimates “Scam Inc.” to pull half a trillion a year.

I believe Cambodia is another case where the government is directly involved.

The question is are there any effective interventions, short of war (which, happened), given that.
