China Executed Eleven Members of Notorious Crime Family from Myanmar

China executes eleven members of crime family for transnational fraud and human trafficking.

What Happened?

The Chinese government has executed eleven members of the notorious Ming crime family who were convicted of operating massive online scams and engaging in human trafficking across the border between Myanmar and China.

Among other crimes, the Ming family was found guilty of operating an enormous scam compound in Laukkaing, Myanmar, where people were forced to engage in online scams, or they faced torture and execution. 

Many locations in Myanmar have been lawless due to the ongoing civil war, and the Ming crime family was apparently able to conduct criminal activities on such a broad scale because they were supporters of Myanmar’s military.

Why it Matters

The scale of the scam compounds in Myanmar has been unlike anything seen before. Entire office buildings were filled with hundreds of people devoted to carrying out transnational cybercrime twenty-four hours a day. Many of those workers were lured there under false pretenses because they were promised good-paying, legal jobs. After they found out about the scams, they were forced to remain under threat of torture or execution by the criminal organizations running the scam compounds.

Opportunities like this don’t come twice.

Because most of the labor force for the scam compounds in Myanmar came from China and spoke Chinese, most of the victims of the online scams were also from China. However, the scam compounds also targeted potential victims in Europe and the United States because the scammers recruited workers who could speak English. The execution of leading crime family members by China is the first time capital punishment has been used when handling transnational scams.

The scams that were employed by the scam compounds in Myanmar were diverse, ranging from real estate fraud, romance scams, identify theft, fraudulent investment opportunities, and many other different kinds of financial crimes.

What the scams shared was that they could all be conducted via the internet, which gave the scammers the ability to target victims nearly anywhere in the world. Unlike earlier scams, which were amateurish and easy to spot, some of these looked and sounded professional, making them more convincing to potential victims.

Fraud and online scams have increased significantly in the past five years, primarily due to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) programs. Before AI, scammers needed a fairly high level of computer skills in order to create convincing videos or websites for their scams. AI programs allow anyone with a computer to create convincing audio and video content, along with websites that look authentic.

How it Affects You

The combination of numerous and easy to access AI programs, along with extended periods of lawlessness in places like Myanmar, has allowed transnational cyber scams and fraud to grow to an unprecedented scale. Closing the scam compounds in Myanmar was a good first step, but the problem of organized international crime will likely continue to grow in the future.
