John Oliver on Popular Internet Scam | HasanAbi reacts

I mean I guess what is the the old saying is you don't Rob poor people you rob rich people that makes sense how the [ __ ] do these people have so much money what the hell's going on number one on train our story tonight concerns the internet it can be a magical place but also one where things aren't always what they seem as this woman learned the hard way Queen shayana wereth thought she bought this the Instagram ad displaying a tree that fits in a living room not the palm of her hand y this this about Teemu no I didn't cover Diddy I didn't cover Diddy I just refused chist like seriously like I didn't cover Diddy I didn't cover the top ofth hour ad break which came at the top of the hour and I'm running it now we're watching John Oliver is responsible for this yeah it must been pretty disappointing to order a full-size tree and get whatever that is she must have felt like HBO did when they ordered a comedy show and got this instead unfortunately not every mistake is that benign it is not news that there are scammers on the internet but you may have noticed that one scam in particular is currently everywhere a common way that it starts is with a weird text from a number that you don't recognize like Cheryl can we move lunch to five when you're not Cheryl or Dave what time is our flight when you're not Dave and you don't have a flight booked even as we worked on this piece multiple members of our staff and their friends were getting these messages from hello is this the manager Jesse from the flower shop to this one reading is this Dr John I'm Emily is my horse recovering well and I'm so glad that wasn't sent to me cuz it would have worked you're calling me Dr John I'm instantly on board and you're assuming that I'm around a horse for medical reasons that's exactly what I've been saying I'm allowed to touch it like that I'm a doctor and I know most people ignore messages like those but some right back get sucked into a conversation and eventually through a process that we'll get into can end up losing a lot of money it's a scam with a striking name that newscasters can't seem to get over it's called a pig butchering scam and it might sound like a gruesome name but that's because the amount of money victims are losing is painful the scammers have a ter terrible term for what Wendy went through they call it Pig butchering the New Mexico Securities division calls them Pig butchering scams I know but listen don't worry there are no pigs or any other animals involved yes don't worry there are no pigs harmed in this pig butchering scam although if the words do make you squeamish it's worth noting that there is a process through which pigs are harmed every day it's actually how we get bacon pork and other product it's called Pig butchering and it's exactly what it sounds like but the name makes a little more sense once you understand how the scam actually works in the world of cyber and counterterrorism threats special agent hanani has seen it all but in 2021 he began seeing a new scam Pig butchering but it just refers to raising little piglets fattening them up and butchering them and they're fattening up their victim with illusions of grandeur of wealth of Love Before bleeding them dry that is rough because imagine being a victim of this scam turning on the news and suddenly learning that the Shand for people in your situation is the pigs although we'll say it could have been worse pigs are awesome they're one of the most intelligent animals on the planet they're smarter than dogs most three-year-olds and Tom sandal to use a phrase that the police never seem to appreciate It's actually an honor to be compared to a pig and if you are thinking well this seems like the kind of scam that's been around for decades that is partially true but the way this one works is fairly new and in the short time that it's been around it's been massively successful just this month it was at the center of a huge local news story in Kansas where it brought down a financial institution I was surprised I was shocked I was disappointed Kansas State Bank commissioner David hearnden is talking about the massive cryptocurrency scam at the Heartland Tri State Bank in elart and a cryptocurrency scheme that the FBI is now referred to as Pig Butchery in this casee hearnden says the victim was Shan Haynes the bank's owned CEO and he's now facing charges of embezzling nearly $50 million a loss that caused the bank to fail last August that's true according to prosecutors a bank CEO got Peak butchered sent his scammer the bank's Holdings and the bank went under which is alarming for several reasons among them is that how Banks work cuz it really feels like there should be at least one step between CEO gets tricked and whoops the bank's empty it's estimated that as of 2022 this scam was taking people for more than $3 billion a year in the us alone and that's almost certainly a massive undercount as it only includes people who reported their losses to the FBI so given all of that tonight let's talk about Pig butchering why it's easier to full for than you might think I know don't with h though but have you seen that one of the game devs Joel is called the game master who control how the in-game war plays out like a DND DM wait really that's so sick this game keeps getting cooler think who's behind it and what we can do to protect ourselves and our liked ones from getting scammed in the future and let's start with where this began and to do that unfortunately we do need to go back to the place that no one wants to go the beginning of Co you remember Co it's the Steven Miller of diseases in that we were all very worried about it a few years ago and have since moved on even though it's still extremely dangerous but that is when Pig butchering took off basically at the start of covid many of us were isolated and lonely desperately looking for human contact online which made us ripe targets at the same time organized crime groups in China running casinos in Southeast Asia were in crisis as thanks to the pandemic gamblers weren't showing up so they turned those casin into bases for online scam operations and from there their workers identified people and prayed on their vulnerabilities and let me walk you through the basic steps here the first is to make contact and lure your Target in listen to this woman explain how her scammer who called himself Jimmy contacted her at a moment when she was dealing with cancer the pandemic and the end of her marriage first message it came as a very innocent message I said wrong number he came back you look Chinese are you Chinese and I said yes he had moved here just before Co and then Co hit and so he's not able to go home it's really cool that like we have no legislation and no security to prevent this from happening like we only punish people after they've succeeded and there is no mechanism in place to try and stop this from happening especially because like it's taking advantage of the pre-existing structure like the reason why this is so prevalent no don't [ __ ] say Common Sense the reason why this is so goddamn prevalent is because your phone numbers are sold okay your phone numbers are [ __ ] [ __ ] sold across the board and companies have to be able to reach out to you with similar uh similar uh uh what is it like it's a junk mail basically but on your phone right that's the reason why that because all of that has to exist and because there there's no legislation surrounding it you have to [ __ ] you know because of the data Brokers uh and and and the way that like this stuff is super [ __ ] prevalent in SMS marketing exactly that you know other people can also steal this information or buy this information utilize it to scam you he was a a lonely man in need of comfort Jimmy would message me every day I do remember receiving these Emojis with hearts [Music] it's quite flattering for a middle-aged woman to meet a a young man who finds you attractive yeah of course that's flattering because scammers are telling their targets what they want I just don't understand why people would keep talking in situations like this just say wrong number and move on or even better don't respond desperation you don't write legislation for the most Savvy person you write legislation for the dumbest most desperate person desperation doesn't equal dumb by the way I'm just saying desperation can lead to dumb things though but that's the whole point want to hear most in that moment we might not all fall for a gift of a heart pumping Emoji but if someone sent me nerd with glasses plus football plus learning plus sad statistics equals fire Emoji me personally why I would not and look one way of making contact is through those wrong number texts but experts that we we've talked to estimate that they only make up about a quarter of the initial contacts for this scam the LinkedIn dating apps Instagram or Facebook places specifically designed for you to meet people that you don't know either for love a hookup or in the case of LinkedIn to find out what kind of person is still on [ __ ] LinkedIn for lwi it's to get it's to receive death me death threats um yeah every part of this is just like busted uh I feel like dating apps are just like filled to the burn with Bots at this point right and scammers often research their target using social media where there is a lot of information about people so they can pretend to have something in common take this woman who met someone on a dating app only to discover that they shared an unexpected connection he started asking questions about my family and my past experiences it was a connection that felt even stronger she says when he told her he came from the same town in China China from where Hutchinson was adopted we kind of bonded over that yeah I bet they did and I've got to say it says something about men on dating apps that they connected so well simply because he did things like ask her questions about herself and listen to her responses I don't want to say the bar for men is low but that story started with him asking her questions about her life and ends with her giving him all of her money but regardless of how they start sooner or later we move on to step two turning the conversation toward money but even then there's a smart twist because you won't be suddenly asked to wire money to a Nigerian prince with an obviously fake email like real Prince spelled with a one instead of an i at scum. farts with pig butchering there's no direct ask for money at all instead an opportunity gets presented to you just watch as this man explains the moment when a guy that he met on a dating site started to reel him in he spent at least a month daily talking to me and and cultivating my friendship initially the only talk about money was how much his new online friend had made in crypto after all Scott thought he knew how to protect himself from scams you can invest with me and I'll make you all this money and I was like I'm not giving you money um that's not happening um so that's when he started no you don't give it to me you establish your own account and I'll guide you right that's the clever hook here you're not sending the scammer money they're helping you set up and control your own account and everything seems more legitimate when there's an app involved you don't think so when is the last time you took an Uber oh getting a nondescript car with someone I've never met I would never do that but wait watch this I can do it from my phone well in that case here's my address now you know where I live and that I won't be home for the evening my name's John I don't know your last name but that doesn't matter cuz I'm also not committing your face to memory everything's safe there's an app involved and the fact the investment is often in crypto can be persuasive for multiple reasons first who really knows how crypto works I know your friend's weird husband claims that he does but he sucks to talk to so sadly it must remain a mystery but people have made money on crypto so it's not unreasonable to think you might meet one of them and they could give you some tips on top of which you may not be super familiar with how a trading platform operates or even what one looks like and scammers have created incredibly plausible looking platforms we got this footage of one which seems to have all the detail and functionality of a real one and and I'll be honest I could be fooled by that also some scammers use legitimate apps that allow anyone to build a trading exchange the problem is there are tools that scammers can use to simulate fake results on those apps while taking your money just watch this journalist explain how this gave one victim false confidence in medat trator it looks just like any kind of normal trading interface that one would use that's available in the Google Play Store it's available in the Apple App Store it's an app that has a lot of good ratings and that was one of the things that made Sai think that this whole operation was legitimate he believed that his investment was making money if you're trading on a legitimate trading interface right you see the profits and losses uh over time and this is exactly what he saw right if your friend told you to download an app and you saw it in the App Store with good reviews you might assume everything on it was legitimate even before you saw metatrader logo which looks like three men in suits jerking each other off under a table an appropriate metaphor for cryptocurrency if I have ever seen one some scammers even set up additional features like two- Factor authentication or customer service lines this woman tried her best to do due diligence on the site that she was sent and came away convinced that it was real there was a legal secretary involved in another state vouching association with a law firm where it was sending money to she's real I could verify her so it was very complex and well rehearsed right she spoke with a legal secretary and a law firm before sending money and that is more vetting than I've done for my kids daycare look I love them and they're very precious to me but they're also loud sticky and one of them is just getting stronger and stronger every day so if you have a building with walls and a phone number that I can call I trust you take them for the afternoon and at this point in the process things might look pretty good for the people getting scammed you've sent a bit of money to a legitimate looking site through an account that you control and your new friends trading tips seem to be working so maybe you send a little bit more and pretty soon you might have a fair amount of money tied up on this trading platform but when you eventually go to withdraw it that is where we hit the final step of this process remember that woman you saw earlier whose online friend claimed that he was from the same town where she was born well she'd convinced her dad to invest as well they'd seemingly made a bunch of money and then this happened by December their accounts showed a combined balance of 1 $2 million and Hutchin That's crazy dude you're cake and you're like oh my God we're making oh my God we made a million a minute that's crazy decided it was time to cash out that's when the site told her before she could withdraw her money she'd have to pay a hefty tax bill of roughly $380,000 that's when I was like something's not right it wasn't the cryptocurrency Investments weren't real all her and her father's funds had gone into the scamers pockets in all $390,000 stolen I messed up my life I messed up my Dad's life she that's crazy bro is Dad living in an RV now cuz he's cooked like what's happening but also bro they had 400 Grand of disposable income how is someone who's getting cooked on crypto how is someone who's getting cooked on crypto a person that has 400 grand in cash how is that possible I don't understand it like he told me that it was all a scam hinson's father Melvin and all I could do was just hug her and tell her it's okay if it's okay and uh it was hard it was hard bro it is not okay you're [ __ ] crying right now son on camera on National Television I don't think it's okay I mean to be fair I get it 400 Grand is nothing to nothing to write home about you know cuz we lost everything yeah their money had already gone and that tax bill was just an attempt to squeeze them one last time and there isn't the only brutal story here this woman lost $350,000 this guy lost 300,000 bro what is h that guy had 300 Grand how are these people so [ __ ] well off what is happening bro I mean I guess what is the the old saying is you don't Rob poor people you rob rich people that makes sense how the [ __ ] do these people have so much money what the hell's going on and that woman who fell for Jimmy sent him $2.5 million as she was dealing with terminal cancer it is traumatic and 2.5 million what the hell is going on man $2.5 million at no point where you like that every single person that's one Hassan house worth of money that you just [ __ ] peee poofed I don't bro it's called Pig butchering not chicken butchering what do you think dude I literally thought these scams were like you know maybe like 10 grand here and there and you just like collect from like 12 different people and you put together 120 Grand which is like a decent amount of money right I didn't realize a oneoff could get you could net you 2.5 million the [ __ ] are people doing like selling drugs and [ __ ] they should be doing this humiliating and it took courage for those people to come forward and that is partly why experts think the $3 billion figure that we have is way too low because most people who've been scammed like this simply don't report their losses out of embarrassment and at this point you're probably furious with the people on the other end of all of these messages want to see them taken down or at the very least [ __ ] with and that does happen a lot people post screen grabs messing with scammers all the time like in this exchange where someone replies to wrong number text with my name is enigo Montoya and you don't by any chance have six fingers on your right hand do you or this one where a scammer writes I'm nice to meet you with a picture and guess the reply we woo we woo boner alert and look look I'll be honest that doesn't seem like the right sound to me that's not what I probably would have gone with alert but reasonable people could disagree all bodies are different there's no one right sound for a boner alert but here is the thing as cathartic as that might be the person on the other end of that phone might not be the one you should be mad at cuz remember when I said that this would being done in former casinos by year was reported about $7 billion do stole by stolen by scammers only from the USA oh my god dude it's like honestly this this feels like this this feels like like wealth extraction it's like the third world fighting back you know what I mean they're they're just taking it they took their matters into their own hands like they were just like all right [ __ ] feels like people need to be taxed more so they don't have money to lose this happens in China's special economic zone and La they kidnap people to run scams IRS scammers are really persistent and they target old Tech illiterate Boomers with no one to rely on wait what is this BTS stands renting out trucks and making official statements is so over for Zionist Korean International Army demand hbe and divest from Zionism and Zionist in the industry do not look away when the same thing happened to your Korean happening to Palestinians if our demands are not met Army BTS stands will continue to push you to meet our demands do not look away when that same thing happened to your Korean ancestor happening to Palestinians truck sent the Korean Entertainment Company hibe scooter braa is the CEO of hbe America nice organized crime syndicates it turns out they're not great bosses this compound is where an Indian man named Rakesh says he was forced to work for more than 11 months without pay for a Chinese criminal gang Rakesh who doesn't want to be identified says he first flew to Thailand for what he thought was an IT job instead he says he was tricked into crossing the border to damn these [ __ ] are even scamming the laborers bro where does the scam stop I own a business and the most clever ones I see are the ones that pretend to be a domain service and try to charge you for renewing your website even quoting the same price as your actual hosting company bro they are they're scamming everybody there's like not a single person out there that's not getting [ __ ] scammed first they scam [ __ ] into getting a job and then they locked them in and then they forced them to scam the Americans scamming people so they would scam others for them Myanmar where a Chinese gangster told him to work or else he threatened to kill you he warned me like that and the job spend 16 hours a day on social media targeting Americans with a fake profile that is awful no one should be forced to spend 16 hours a day on social media you should do it either because you love it or because you are 15 years old and the algorithm has addicted you to it you know completely normal reasons a lot of these organizations are using people who've been human trafficked after being lured to the compounds under false pretenses they are actually the victims of a scam themselves basically they might see job ads for skilled positions as translators or it specialists in another country they then go through a whole application process with some going through up to four seemingly legitimate online interviews and fly to their new job at which point they suddenly learn their new bosses have their documents and they now can't leave back in 2022 propublica estimated that tens of thousands of people had been tricked in this way and a more recent un report estimated that hundreds of thousands of people have been forcibly engaged in this scheme they also say most victims are confined confined to the compound and their screens are always monitored by the members of the organized crime group and once they are in they have provided fake profiles to try and hook people I don't think I'm a particularly smart person but I'm like kind of shocked I I I don't think I've ever had a situation like this like I guess I'm like very skeptical of like random messages in general that's just the way you got to do it there's a Chinese movie made about this is called no more beds uh there's also an American movie uh about this it's called The Beekeeper where Jason STM literally goes and kills everyone that's doing this because they scammed his grandma or something you don't check your DMs yo honestly that's probably the biggest reason cuz I don't I don't check my d M I barely respond to my friends that text me not Grandma his landlord you're are more predisposed to that because you're a public figure my Outlook is there are no random messages I assume they're all scams yeah this is Vladimir lenine please send me $500 so I can start new bulvik Revolution in with here is who Rakesh found himself being all day didn't you get scammed by Slicker yeah but like that's someone you know you know what I mean it's different like people always bring that up whenever I say this but that's like that's a literal person that you know and when he came back for more I was like no dog I know what the [ __ ] going on here you know what I mean that's the difference first time I was like fine sure I know I'm not going to get this back it's okay and then he did it again and I was like okay well that's not happening did you ever recover those funds no I don't care it's fine yeah it'd be ridiculous for me to [ __ ] it'd be ridiculous for me to [ __ ] like demand I don't even remember how much I think it was like 500 bucks it'd be ridiculous for me to demand 500 when he was like milking people for like thousands you know what I mean people with a lot less than me I got a Russian girl uh with using a fresian girl fake profile I need to scam the people posing as a Salt Lake City based investor named Clara simonov Rakesh flirted online with potential targets 70 to 80% fall for fake love yeah Rakesh was Clara simonov from Salt Lake City so before we go any further anyone who thinks that they are dating claraa I'm afraid you are not the relationship is over it's not you but it's also not her it's Rakesh but also it isn't him it's rh's boss who won't let him leave the whole operation is highly organized H pH for the old helping a friend won't scam I mean dude that's very different like a person that I knew for two years at that point like asking me for money is is very different than [ __ ] being like hello I am sex bot I live in Salt Lake City Utah please give me money it's differed and set up to get around the usual ways that you might detect a scam for instance some organizations generate their own photos for the profile so that they can't be reverse image searched and employees are given manuals like these that guide them through every step of the process they're told to Target people who look wealthy and successful uh one advises on the first day talk about things like your name age occupation and hobbies then the next day talk about your emotional experience with a message divided into two paragraphs and then on the third day talk about your entrepreneurial experience they're even given tips on how to break down people's defenses we reviewed several of these manuals and they carefully explain how to build trust and exploit weaknesses in their so called client such as be funny make clients fall in love with you so deeply that they forget everything you know the chilling thing is that's kind of true if you're funny enough you can make people forget a lot of things whether it's Common Sense internet safeguards lessons from previous relationships or that they've been accidentally learning about F that's the craziest part about it is like how is a [ __ ] Indian dude that's like currently trapped in a housing facility in [ __ ] La going to be able to like crack jokes that some American mom named Deborah is going to laugh at like straight up cultural humor is very different you know what I mean that's like surreal Riz respect to the hustlers you know what I mean think about it dude you think it's [ __ ] funny that you I mean you think it's it's you think you can make people you think you can make some dude in [ __ ] La laugh laugh with the same [ __ ] that you're laughing at it's going to be hard you know farts that's Universal and even farts in different cultures can mean different things you know financial fraud and human trafficking for the last 20 minutes we're having fun aren't we and if you thinking what why don't authorities just shut these compounds down sometimes they're in on it here is one man who was trafficked to explaining what happened when he did the obvious thing on day in captivity Lou emailed the Chinese Embassy he was advised to call the cville police but the police never came the property management came instead they knew that I'd called the police L says the managers then sold him to another scamming company he said because I called the police they had to take care of the police with at least $4,000 and I had to pay for that too yeah the authorities weren't going to help him which actually makes sense when you learn that according to un estimates PE butchering in Cambodia brings in an amount equivalent to half the country's GDP which is worrisome because as everyone knows when something generates that much yo this shit's crazy because it's like a direct consequence of our interference like this is what you [ __ ] do when this is what like you create an environment that is just completely [ __ ] untenable unsustainable people turn to [ __ ] crime and now with the internet they get to have unfettered access to you in the United States of America at the tips of their fingers is actually kind of wild much money you don't shut it down you spin it off and pray the magic Works a second time come on and conditions in these compounds can be br brutal that man you saw earlier raes took photos of abuse like this one of a coworker who'd been beaten and Lou who managed to get out now works to free others and the stories of what he's seen are fair warning hard to watch I saw a man get beaten up very badly he had injuries all over his body Luke contends it was this man who was reportedly found hanging just hours later now I'm certain it was him his phone is full of messages from Chinese citizens desperate to be freed from scam companies there's videos of abuse Lou says he receives them directly from victims inside the scam industry or finds them posted in Social Media Group chats and he's got handcuffs they're shocking that is horrifying bro I had no [ __ ] idea and when you know all of this it kind of starts to change who exactly you are mad at here because suddenly the individuals on the other end of the phone don't seem quite so fun to send a message of we woo we woo boner alert to not that that isn't an excellent text who doesn't love a boner alert but there's a time and a place and this might not be it also from now on whenever you get a sexy text from a new stranger good luck not thinking is this a man who was just beaten in a work camp in Myanmar and that if anything is the John Oliver effect you are welcome and look I can't say that every scammer is someone who was kidnapped tortured and forced to do it but even if not everyone who's doing this is trapped or coerced the very fact that me yeah Gulf countries do this too but for physical labor and mostly with South Asians is correct yes I'll never forget that [ __ ] video I saw of uh I think it was like where was it I forget which country it was in but it was in one of the gulf Nations where they they also have this inan practice of like openly killing their [ __ ] day laborers like like just dropping them off of uh buildings and [ __ ] it's crazy yep straight up many are is still a huge problem so what can we do here well when it comes to those imprisoned in these compounds that's going to take collaboration between international law enforcement so unless you are the head of interpole which I'm guessing you are not there's not much you personally can do now in this country I'd argue that platforms like these should be doing way more to prevent the creation of fake accounts to Target people because it's happening on their watch but the truth is perhaps the most effective way to stop this from happening is to make it less lucrative by having fewer people fall for it and that is where awareness of this scam is key this is one of those rare cases where raising awareness is in itself genuinely useful because hopefully you've seen tonight this could could happen to someone you know this hasn't just sucked in old people or those who aren't techsavvy it managed to reel in a bank CEO everyone has an image of the type of person who susceptible to getting scammed in their heads but unless that image is a mirror you might be wrong so as a he's saying personal aess instead of regulations cuz like lowkey what the [ __ ] are regulations going to do you know what I mean we got none we ain't getting no regulations but also given that this is international that kind of changes things a lot I didn't know that there was such a concept even I thought dudes were like voluntarily doing this [ __ ] to make a buck like I I literally thought it was a bunch of homies in an internet cafe just like getting together and being like let's [ __ ] over these Americans but in but I don't even know how you could I mean I guess you could try to regulate it by like making it so that your data is not so readily available but that would you know destroy a multi-billion dollar industry so that's never going to happen that's precisely the reason why they have access to your [ __ ] phone number to begin with which should not be as easily accessible um but also beyond that having it be in like [ __ ] Myanmar makes it so that it is completely outside of the confines of of any kind of serious uh any kind of serious like International be too poor be too poor for people that want to scam you yeah how online scam Warlords have made China start loose patient with a myanmar's Jun in the end it was the thriving online scam centers that finally forced China to lose patience with myanmar's military brutal military rulers the impoverished Southeast Asian nation has long been a trouble spot for China's southwestern border for decades beijing's leader have played a careful game of back in myanmar's military regimes lending them much needed economic military and diplomatic support including at the United Nations while also maintaining close ties to powerful Rebel militias along its borders but beijing's frustration have been building with n Pav's generals who seize power in 2021 overthrowing a democratic elected government that Beijing had built close relations with and resurrecting the kind of isolated Juna rule that myanmar's people had spent decades living under in recent months the displeasure has reached New Heights as the Hun dragged his feet on pressuring on pressing on a pressing security priority for Beijing shutting down the infamous online scam centers that have proliferated along its border with Myanmar country's mountainous Borderlands Borderlands have long been a Haven for gambling drugs and the traff trafficking of both humans and Wildlife but since covid-19 online scam operations many run by Chinese organized crime bosses have flourished in heavily guarded compounds controlled by local Warlords tens of thousands of people mainly Chinese have been trapped and forced by criminal gangs to defrost strangers with sophisticated schemes over the internet see this is why China is not the uh is not the the same like Global superpower that America is cuz I feel like you can't get away with doing this to an American you can scam an American from Myanmar but you can't like kidnap Americans and then like force them to work at a [ __ ] scam Center in the same way that you can do it in China it seems like if there was a if there was a unique if there was like a [ __ ] uh epidemic of Americans being Americans being kidnapped no cartel members exclusively don't do this this as a matter of fact it is literally the op they very deliberately don't do this imagine if they imagine if they were like regularly kidnapping Americans and forcing them to work and like you know this kind of a procedure America would literally bomb it like they would just blow up half of Mexico I feel like America's like we get to do that dog in our prison system which you are now going to be a part of you're wrong China kidnaps Americans and places them in [ __ ] milking facilities we got a nonstop blast safety aren't people kidnapped in trafficed all the time in America yes people are definitely kidnapped and trafficked in America as well but this is a whole different situation Beijing has passed has pressed myanmar's military government to reign in the scam operations with little success things started change in late October when an alliance of ethnic Rebel groups launched a major offensive sted operation 1027 against the Hun as the ethnic milias captured towns of military posts in Northern Shawn State numerous scammed compounds near the Chinese border were liberated thousands of traffic victims have been sent back to China along with suspected ring leaders according to the Chinese authorities and the triumphant militias powerful warlord families backed by the Hun and the uh and the ones deemed Untouchable by the law are now in the custody of Chinese police China has been leveraging operation 1027 Jim Browning did a good video on these Pig Mills once from Dubai same deal last week Beijing said it helped the Hun broker a temporary ceasefire with the rebels after arranging for the two sides to meet in China for peace talks but beijing's assistance is carried a heavy price tag to downfall the remaining crime families the Hun had relied on To Rule The Border region China's going frustration with the Hun over its failure to tackle the scam industry was not lost on the ethnic lals as they planned their attack on October 27th on don't forget China has been giving weapons to the hunas so [ __ ] Miss with this China will spread International socialism I saw a lot of ENT Andes uh like posting like military hun stuff not hun sorry um they've been posting a lot of the uh the the ethnic Rebel groups like videos from them fighting against the military hun and it's not even like ethnic Rebel groups it's like um it's it's literally uh the [ __ ] got some crazy [ __ ] yelling um I listen to interview of the rebels he was extremely smart and we Pro democracy and Progressive yeah I was going to say they're not

Stranger on a dating app says either I love you or crypto within a month of talking to you worry honestly even if they don't turn out to be scammers those are pretty good red flags to be looking for personality wise and it's worth telling your friends and family about Pig butchering too it doesn't have to be a big lecture or anything you can just send them a link to this show and if they say I hate that guy say yeah me too he's the worst just skip past the jokes if they say I'll watch it but he looks like a Lego accountant wait no he looks like chat gpt's answer to show me a virgin wait no he looks like Harry Potter if he just stayed under the stairs just leave them on red you don't have to completely sell me out maybe drop a thumbs up emoji but please leave it at that and look if you
