About this episode

It’s one of the biggest human trafficking operations of modern times. Scam centres across Southeast Asia have been making hundreds of billions of dollars annually, it’s estimated, conning people into fake crypto-currency investment schemes. But now these centres could be coming under threat, with both military and legal moves by global enforcement challenging their apparent impunity. Presented and produced by Ed Butler (Picture: An aerial photo showing the KK Park complex in Myanmar, taken in September 2025. Credit: Getty Images)
