A: Hey! Did you hear about some crazy news coming out of Cambodia?

B: No way! What’s going on?

A: They just sent three people back to China! Apparently, it was a joint operation.

B: Wow! Who were they?

A: Get this… one of them is the head of a *really* big criminal group! They’re saying it’s one of the biggest in Asia!

B: Seriously?! That's wild!

A: Yeah! And the leader’s name is Chen Zhi. He used to be a big deal, too. He was an advisor to the former Prime Minister!

B: No kidding! So, what happened to him now?

A: They took away his Cambodian citizenship last month! Can you imagine?

B: That’s intense. I heard the US and Britain are also after him.

A: Exactly! They say he runs these scam centers. They’re really bad - they force people into trafficking to trick people online.

B: Trafficking?! That’s horrible!

A: It is! The Prince Group, which he runs, has businesses everywhere - over 30 countries! They do everything from real estate to finance.

B: So, Cambodia is a hub for these scams?

A: It seems so. The borders with Thailand and Myanmar are where a lot of this stuff is happening.

B: Crazy. They’ve made billions, apparently!

A: Billions! It's a huge problem. Pretty shocking, right?
