Foresight News reports that, according to Caixin, Chen Zhi, the founder of the Cambodian Prince Group, has been detained for more than two months. The UK has further imposed sanctions on a Southeast Asian fraud network, including Hu Xiaowei, who is closely associated with Chen Zhi. The sanctions document released by the UK refers to Hu Xiaowei as "Wu Anming" and states that he is associated with Chen Zhi and the Prince Group, describing him as "a long-term collaborator of Chen Zhi" who provides financial services, economic resources, and technical support.
The virtual currency trading platform "New Coin" has also been sanctioned. New Coin is considered one of the largest illegal markets in Southeast Asia, providing services in cryptocurrency for fraud centers, including the sale of stolen personal data and satellite internet equipment used to contact victims.
