The “pigs” are actually people, the pig is a pejorative for them being livestock to make money off of for these people.

I recently read an article about this. Young folks from China and elsewhere are lured to Cambodia with false promises of work. Then they are housed in prison-like conditions, and are forced to run online scams.
Why Cambodia? Evidently the authorities there are easy to bribe. They take the cash, and then look the other way.
Wikipedia had a decent entry about this.

I’ve never done the crypto currency thing so the interesting things to me in this article are:
-I guess those that think crypto is “safe” from government intrusion are seriously deceived.
-I presume the feds won’t be using this seizure to buy a bunch of stuff on Amazon, so how do they use it? CIA’s own black ops on the web?
$15 Billion would be a lot of G.I. paychecks while Schumer’s Shutdown drags on.
the guy is still at large?
he’s operating in cambodia?
exactly how did they ‘seize’ the bitcoins?
A fool and his crypto are soon parted.
I thought “crypto” was suppose to be untouchable by the government? I’m not argueing the merits of the case.
So how does the DOJ cash in this set of ones and zeros?
That is more than the combined GDP of Lesotho and Montenegro.
Chen Zhi is a Chinese name. So this may come out of Cambodia but I suspect it has a Chinese origin.
Use it to pay the military.
