Good morning. Cambodia’s crackdown is entering a game of hide-and-seek. Officials say the country’s major scam compounds have been dismantled, but acknowledge that syndicates are dispersing into smaller, less visible locations, including apartments, cafés and mobile sites. Authorities raided 663 locations between July 2025 and August 2026, closing 86 major compounds and freezing more than $300 million. Meanwhile, the US has restricted visas for 32 individuals accused of involvement in cyber-enabled fraud, with most tied to Cambodia-based Prince Group. The crackdown is no longer focused only on large compounds—or confined to Cambodia.
