Myanmar authorities busted a massive online scam operation in Shan State and grabbed 28 Chinese nationals who were running telecom fraud and gambling schemes. Security forces found a whole compound near Taunghteik village with multiple buildings set up as hostels, offices, and warehouses, plus they confiscated dozens of computers, satellite receivers, and other gear used for the scams.
The government torched all the seized buildings and equipment after the raids. Officials said they're working with neighboring countries to crack down on these operations and will prosecute everyone involved, but the foreign suspects will get sent back home with humanitarian treatment.
