The Wei crime syndicate colluded with political, military, and commercial forces; their violent telecom scam zones were busted in a China–Myanmar joint operation.
Huang Gang, have you seen the case of the Wei family group in northern Myanmar? It's just like a movie—politics, military, and business all tied together, forming a telecom fraud ‘iron triangle’.
Yeah, this family not only had armed forces, but also infiltrated politics and business. They had 14 zones in total. I heard that the price for ‘reselling’ one person could increase more than tenfold.
What's even scarier is that they used violent methods to control the zones—dog cages, water cells, even executing people as a ‘sacrifice to the heavens’. Their methods are even harsher than what you see in gangster films.
The special investigation team risked their lives three times to enter Myanmar to gather evidence. Only then did they confirm that the group was not only running scams but also involved in gambling and prostitution, with an amount exceeding 5 billion.
Now with China and Myanmar cracking down together, more than fifty thousand suspects have been arrested. It seems ‘cross-border manhunts’ aren’t just talk.
The Wei family's model of combining power with violence is extremely vile. It's basically using armed force and political influence to shield their crimes—utter lawlessness.
But it also shows that as long as the police are determined, they can uncover even the darkest corners. Hopefully such ‘tumors’ can be completely eliminated in the future.
Yes, the law must leave criminals nowhere to run, and it also reminds everyone not to be fooled by so-called ‘high salaries’ into falling into these traps.
