n mid-October 2025, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, in coordination with FinCEN and the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, unveiled a sweeping set of sanctions targeting crypto-related online fraud and forced-labor networks across Southeast Asia. The most prominent name on the list is the Prince Group, a Cambodia-based conglomerate now designated as a Transnational Criminal Organization (TCO). According to the Treasury’s press release, the group allegedly operated vast online scam compounds where trafficked workers were coerced into running “pig-butchering” investment schemes involving cryptocurrency transactions.
