@cryptadamist @brian_greenberg Granted, they do utilize #MoneyMules and #ShellCompanies as well as #CryptoExchanges to obtain said value.
- And since their operational cost is relatively low, they can afford wasting 25%-50% in laundering if that meant they'd have clean profits elsewhere...
Obviously #Thailand (which acts as transit/gateway and starting point for #investigators looking for people #missing that turn out to be coerced if not flat-out abducted into these #ForcedLabour setups) isn't happy about an increasing number of (foreign) #diplomats and #investigators wanting to find where their nationals are, as obviously the Thai government isn't at fault.
- It's just that #Bangkok is the closest international hub and thus place where those lured in with "attractive job openings" touch down based off ticket purchases and thus they enter the country there.
Not that any nation wants to have cases of abductions and missing foreign nationals within their borders (North Korea doesn't count!) but I guess we can all imagine that this seriously puts a dent in Thailand's reputation re: #tourism and #safety none of the politicans want to see...
