> China has executed 11 members of a notorious family that ran scam centres in Myanmar, state media report.
> A court in Zhejiang province sentenced the Ming family members for crimes including homicide, illegal detention, fraud and operating gambling dens in September.
> The Ming family was one of several clans that ran Myanmar’s sleepy town of Laukkaing, close to the border with China. Under their rule, the impoverished backwater was transformed into a flashy hub of casinos and red-light districts.
> But their scam empire came crashing down in 2023, when Myanmar authorities arrested them and handed them to China, as part of a crackdown prompted by pressure from Beijing.
> Their scam operations and gambling dens brought in more than 10bn yuan ($1.4bn; £1bn) between 2015 and 2023, according to the court.
> Their crimes resulted in the deaths of 14 Chinese citizens and injuries to may others, the court said.

Good. Those scam empires are freaking brutal and way too many people suffered being forced to work there.

Wow China don’t play. Thats a very quick sentence to death time. In the US I’d be at least 20 years before execution

Execution?!? I want to call this an atrocity and a crime against humanity, but I read somewhere that their fraud involved telemarketing.
So execution was too gentle. They should have hired the writers from Saw to come up with something better.

It is inaccurate to call them scammers. They are kidnappers, torturers, and killers.

I don’t know how to feel about this. On one hand killing people should not be a thing a government does but at the same time scammers are a menace and death is definitely the best strategic deterrence.

The ming family? Would like to know more about it. I’m sure there are pictures online and stories of what they did and flatbed wealth. Can’t hide so much money

They would have gotten a presidential pardon in the US

This should be the penalty for all scammers. A couple years of this, and it might actually be safe to start answering unknown numbers again!

What’s absurd is that the Chinese scammers in Cambodia are patriotic. They even hung Chinese flags at their scam camps.
