India's Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested Sunil Nellathu Ramakrishnan in Mumbai, accusing him of being a pivotal figure in a transnational trafficking network linked to cryptocurrency scam parks in Myawaddy, Myanmar. Victims were reportedly lured from India to Bangkok under false pretenses of legitimate employment, then transferred to scam parks like KK Park, where they were coerced into participating in fraudulent activities and subjected to abuse. The arrest was made possible through intelligence from an Indian victim who escaped and was repatriated last year. Interpol has identified this network as a significant transnational criminal threat, impacting victims across over 60 countries. The U.S. has previously frozen over $580 million in related assets, and a key organizer has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
