Erin West Inside Cambodia’s Pig Butchering Scam Compounds: Crypto Fraud, Human Trafficking & the Global Crackdown

Episode 41: Erin West returns to Cambodia to investigate whether the world’s largest pig butchering scam operations are truly shutting down—or simply regrouping. From Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville, she walks inside abandoned scam compounds, examines the crackdown tied to Chen Zhi and Prince Group, and exposes the human trafficking driving global crypto fraud. Are these compounds finished—or just paused? This episode reveals what American victims are really up against.
