China forces reckoning on Southeast Asia’s scam compounds

After years of draining retirement accounts across the globe, Southeast Asia’s scam compounds face a reckoning. In the past two months, Thailand has bombed one compound network, Myanmar’s military has shelled another one. Now, the action has shifted to Cambodia, where police are raiding compounds left and right. As Patrick Winn reports from Bangkok, the driving force behind this crackdown is China, which is embarrassed that scam compounds are often owned by Chinese nationals and target Chinese citizens.
