If they held it for 100 years and finally sold it, then profit/loss is realized now

it's plenty good on free tier

as soon as they start adding restrictions / raising prices / etc won't take long to look for alternatives

majority of population of any given country doesn't emigrate ever, even inside EU where it would be extremely easy

(not only for these cambodia originated crimes)

Also keep in mind all the bribes, all the money laundering mentioned in the article by the 100s of affiliated subsidiares of the criminal group all in Cambodia

the big casinos which directly and indirectly support additional laundering

Every business has revenue / costs

The indictment mentions they were doing 30M/day ~ 10B / year, could be an old message when they were smaller

Guessing that's revenue

They're just one of many organizations in the "industry"

the economy is not that big to start with :)

GDP $49.8 Billion (nominal; 2025)

Some examples

https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/cambodia...

Cambodia's specifically 30-50% of the economy can be directly attributed to scamming plus casinos

This one of the other organizations / major bank used for money laundering directly linked to Hun Sen

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huione_Group

> The company is linked to Cambodia's ruling Hun family, which includes the current prime minister, Hun Manet.[4] His cousin Hun To is a major shareholder and director of Huione Pay

Did you read the article?

The reason to move to ECB would be for ECB garanteed deposits, which many could find safer than their local bank

this wasn't a swift action overnight

they could be blocking this many accounts on a yearly basis just from scam reports at the police station

or more which seems to be the case recently, but not overnight

this is bad article

take my money!

It ingests 70k lines per second without a sweat

reads are just as fast

I've done it at work, this is on a blacklist of ASNs that require "extra" authentication

all the labor is imported from abroad and live in miserable conditions, no unions or paperwork, just lots of earthworks to be done

- lots of cheap power - deploy 100s of ASICs, let each of them fail as they go

It's a shame that it's too good to be true, until you get blocked and then it takes weeks/months to get the account back

Certainty can't trust one single institution to hold all your funds
