I genuinely read that 3 times as 7 “moths” inside an online scam labour camp. And was like, “shit, the news is really scraping for stories today!”

There, the government is powerless. Thugs rule with virtual impunity, backed by the local ethnic armed groups that they pay for security.

There are different armed groups. Some of them have a business relationship with the Military officials. Border Guard Force (BGF) is one of them.

In northern Shan state of Myanmar, Northern Alliance (alliance between 3 EThnic armed groups) handed over the similar gang to the Chinese government after capturing the cities.
