    Hidden Fraud Den Exposed in Myanmar's Wa State

    A group of individuals have revealed the existence of a hidden fraud den operating in the basement of a four-sided courtyard villa behind the Golden Age KTV in Mong Pao, Wa State, Myanmar. The den, disguised as a legitimate business, is run by shareholders Afu (50%), Ahuo (25%), Xin (15%), and Laotie (10%), who have been taking bribes and fines. The den operates an ITUS fund, targeting divorced single women in China, and has been involved in over 900 million yuan, harming nearly 10,000 people. The den is managed violently, with long work hours, no food for those without sales, and cases of verbal abuse, physical assault, and electric shocks. Supervisor Ahjian is particularly violent, with reports of suicide by hanging. Victims, minors, and wanted criminals are inside. Two core members were arrested while returning to China in June.
