Cambodian payment service Huione Pay has announced a temporary shutdown until January 5, 2026, following a sudden large-scale withdrawal by users. The company's headquarters in Phnom Penh saw long queues of customers, with notices in Chinese stating a delay in payments. This development comes after the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) identified Huione Group in May as a significant money laundering risk, accusing it of facilitating laundering for North Korean and Southeast Asian fraud networks, including crypto scams known as "pig butchering."
