India arrests suspect linked to cryptocurrency scam park in Myanmar.

According to Decrypt, India's Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested Mumbai resident Sunil Nellathu Ramakrishnan, accusing him of being a key figure in a transnational trafficking network that lured numerous Indians to cryptocurrency scam parks in Myawaddy, Myanmar. Victims were transported from Delhi to Bangkok under the guise of legitimate work, then transferred to scam parks such as KK Park, where they were forced to engage in "pig butchering" scams and cryptocurrency investment fraud, suffering illegal detention and physical abuse. The agency stated that Ramakrishnan was successfully located and arrested based on intelligence provided by Indian victims who escaped and were repatriated from these parks last year. Interpol has listed these scam park networks as a transnational criminal threat, affecting victims in over 60 countries. The United States has previously frozen over $580 million in related cryptocurrency assets, and one "pig butchering" scam organizer was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
