On September 8th local time, the United States Department of the Treasury announced sanctions on a large multinational telecommunications fraud network operating in Southeast Asia. The action was led by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the US Department of the Treasury, targeting 9 entities in Myanmar and 10 entities in Cambodia. According to a report by the United States International News Agency, the Treasury Department explicitly stated in a declaration that the sanctions were based on "severe human rights violations and corruption by fraud groups in the region, and the United States will continue to impose concrete and significant consequences on such behavior while resolutely protecting its financial system from illegal abuse." The specific targets of the sanctions cover two main areas. In Myanmar, the focus was on 9 fraud-related targets in the Myawaddy-Tha Ta Wut area, including the most well-known "Asia Pacific New City" fraud park and its core member - park creator She Zhi Jiang, as well as other affiliated individuals.
