    Interesting that a country in the midst of a civil war is still able to stamp out this complicated problem within their borders.

      It is the military taking away a financing source for rebels. They mostly are not able to deal with problems like these though. Myanmar has turned into the biggest source of drugs in the world due to the civil war.

        Have you even read the bloody article?

        The rebels,which are well connected to China, had taken over the town these guys operated in and captured the scammers before extradition to China.

        The bloody military has very likely been facilitating these guys for years.
