Abstract

The article focuses on the US Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) commitment to combating Chinese organized crime syndicates operating large-scale scam compounds across Southeast Asia that target American victims. These compounds are described as industrial-scale fraud facilities linked to transnational networks involved in cybercrime, human trafficking, forced labor, money laundering, and corruption. The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Centre (IC3) reported over 80,000 complaints in 2025 related to online fraud, with losses exceeding US$2.9 billion. The FBI is collaborating with law enforcement agencies in Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam through joint task forces to disrupt these criminal enterprises and their financial infrastructure, emphasizing that the issue is regional and requires coordinated international efforts.
