this story about Benjamin Mauerberger, a south african #crypto bro and card carrying member of the chinese #mafia who made so much money via #pigbutchering and other crypto scams that he managed to co-opt a large part of #Thailand's government (to say nothing of #Cambodia and #Myanmar) is nuts.

if you’re wondering about the dark forces driving the current war between thailand and cambodia, this is one of those forces.

That is now unraveling, after the U.S. and U.K. accused him of running a transnational criminal ring. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/03/world/crime-legal/how-kingpin-empire-cambodia-london/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #crimelegal #organizedcrime #fraud #cambodia #london #princegroup #china #chenzhi #singapore
