Myanmar. China Sentences 16 Members of Myanmar Crime Syndicate to Death Over Cyber Scams
The Ming family ran “scam parks” from a Myanmar town near the Chinese border that fueled billion-dollar fraud and other crimes, where those who tried to escape were beaten or killed.
A Chinese court handed down death sentences to 16 members of the powerful Ming crime family for running sprawling scam compounds in the Kokang region of Myanmar’s Shan State, close to the Chinese border, where cyber fraud, drug trafficking, prostitution and illegal gambling flourished.
