On January 6, Cambodian authorities have arrested Asia’s most wanted scam kingpins, which most notably include Chen Zhi. The founder of Prince Group, who is a Chinese national, has been since extradited to China. Chen, who is also wanted by the US’ federal prosecutors, allegedly ran a multibillion dollar online fraud based on 30 countries.
He is threatened with a 40 year prison sentence in the US for money-laundering charges, amounting to US$11 billion.
