Vietnam Charges 8 In Bank Account Scheme Tied To Scam Network in Cambodia Police in Ninh Binh Province have charged eight Vietnamese nationals with money laundering for renting out personal bank accounts to a cyber fraud operation across the border in Bavet, Cambodia. All eight are between 18 and 30 years old, from various provinces, and were picked up after coming back from the compound where they reportedly worked. The setup was straightforward. Open accounts at home, hand them over to the network, let scam proceeds land in them, then push the money out to wherever handlers told them to send it. Police say 15 victims have been identified so far, with losses of nearly VND4 billion (about $152,000), pulled in through fake investment pitches and forex schemes. Detected through online monitoring and traced with help from Vietnamese banks. The investigation is still open. news.tuoitre.vn/vietnam-charge…

Most businesses worried about fraud are worried about the wrong rails. A new PYMNTS Intelligence and @IngoPayments report finds that checks are 16x more likely to be lost, stolen or altered than electronic transfers, and more than half of businesses hit by fraud still use them.

🚨LARGEST CRYPTO FREEZE TIED TO IRAN'S WAR: $344M IN USDT BLOCKED The US Treasury confirmed the funds, held across two Tron wallets ($212.9M and $131.3M), were tied to Iran's Central Bank and local crypto exchanges. The freeze was executed by Tether in coordination with OFAC as part of Treasury's broader "Economic Fury" campaign against Tehran, marking the single largest crypto seizure ever tied to Iran's war economy. Iran-linked crypto flows reached an estimated $10B in 2025 according to TRM Labs, much of it routed through Tron-based $USDT. Total frozen Iranian assets now sit near $2 BILLION.

FBI-Wanted Indonesian Crypto Scam Boss Caught at Phuket Resort Thai immigration police arrested a 33yo Indonesian man at a luxury resort in Phuket on April 24. Daily News identified him as a major figure in a UAE-based "hybrid scam" ring wanted by both the FBI and Interpol. He'd entered Thailand on visa-exempt tourist entry. Between 2022 and 2026, the operation allegedly ran cryptocurrency investment fraud out of Dubai, sourcing targets through dating apps and social media. What set the crew apart was hiring good-looking male and female models to run live video calls with victims, making the romance pitch far harder to spot than the usual stolen-photo profiles. Once trust was built, targets were steered to fake trading platforms showing fabricated profits. US victims alone reportedly lost over $10 million, around 350 million baht. Police charged him with joint fraud via electronic devices, revoked his stay, and listed him as a prohibited person under the Immigration Act.

Krabi police raided an accounting firm on April 23 and uncovered 500+ shell companies across three southern provinces. Same operation arrested an Israeli woman who ran a makeup school as a front for OnlyFans production. Second floor was staged as a fake office. thainewsroom.com/2026/04/23/500…

Israeli OnlyFans Front Among 500 Shell Companies Busted in Krabi Thai police arrested an Israeli woman in Krabi on April 23 who used a makeup and nail-art school as a front for producing and selling adult content on OnlyFans. Her arrest came out of a wider raid on the accounting firm that registered her business, part of a scheme using fake Thai shareholders to disguise foreign ownership across three southern provinces. That same raid pulled documents tying the firm to more than 500 shell companies across Krabi, Phuket, and Surat Thani. One address alone had been used to register six. The building's second floor was staged as a "ghost office" with non-functional computers at empty desks and over 100 fake company nameplates on the walls to fool inspectors. Two Thai citizens who fronted for foreign owners were arrested separately in Mae Sot. Investigators are tracing financial flows and weighing charges under the Foreign Business Act, labor regulations, and tax law. The same Krabi governor and police commander ran a near-identical raid in January against an Israeli-owned cannabis farm using Thai shareholders.
