In 2026, U.S. authorities announced a series of actions against Southeast Asian cryptocurrency scam centers: an April 23, 2026 DOJ Scam Center Strike Force complaint against two Chinese nationals tied to Myanmar's Shunda compound, a separate April 29, 2026 international operation led by Dubai Police that produced at least 276 arrests, and a September 9, 2026 Treasury/OFAC sanctions action against the Xinbi Guarantee marketplace. The entity name conflates two related but distinct efforts — the DOJ-led Scam Center Strike Force and the Dubai-Police-led 276-arrest operation — which this page treats together while noting the distinction. The underlying scam centers are alleged to rely on trafficked and forced labor, and U.S. agencies report cumulative cryptocurrency seizures exceeding $580 million tied to the broader crackdown.
