The U.S. Treasury has sanctioned Cambodian senator Kok An and a network of 28 entities for their involvement in a large-scale crypto scam and trafficking-linked operation. Kok An is accused of enabling scam centers run by organized crime groups, with illicit proceeds laundered through casinos and other businesses. The crackdown extends to Southeast Asia, targeting similar operations in Burma and involving freezing of USDT connected to illicit activities. Earlier enforcement actions in Cambodia have targeted individuals running cyber-scam centers using trafficked workers. Reports indicate a rise in losses tied to crypto-related investment scams in the region.
