Suspect Linked to $15 Billion Bitcoin Fraud Arrested in Cambodia, Deported to China

Cambodian authorities have arrested and deported businessman Chen Zhi to China. He is accused of masterminding a massive international criminal network involving a $15 billion Bitcoin fraud, pig butchering scams, and money laundering. As the founder of the Cambodia-based Prince Group, he allegedly used its public business operations as a front for criminal activities. His network is linked to over 100 shell companies and the operation of scam centers across Southeast Asia. This follows a historic seizure by U.S. authorities of over 127,000 Bitcoin, valued at $15 billion, from his operation. China is seeking to prosecute him under its laws, which allow citizens to be charged for major crimes committed abroad. The case highlights the global scale of crypto-related crime and increased cross-border law enforcement cooperation.
