Washington– Two Chinese nationals face charges in the United States that they ran a sprawling administration complex in Myanmar Authorities say the workers were forced to participate in fraudulent cryptocurrency investment scams, according to Court records It was unveiled on Thursday in Washington, DC
A complaint filed in federal court accuses the two suspects – Huang Xingshan and Jiang Wenjie – of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. They are accused of running the Shunda Park industrial complex in Min Lit Pan village before it was seized by Myanmar’s armed forces in November 2025.
Electronic fraud centers have spread near Myanmar’s border with Thailand. They persist despite the Myanmar military leadership’s pledge to eliminate them. The Associated Press found.
Both suspects charged in Washington are in government custody in Thailand for entering the country illegally, a court document said. They were transferred to another fraud complex in Cambodia but were arrested by Thai authorities on immigration charges earlier this year, the dossier alleges. It is unclear when they could be brought to the United States to stand trial.
FBI agents reviewed thousands of electronic devices found at the Shunda compound and interviewed some of its former workers. Scammers, posing as law enforcement or bank officials, used fraudulent websites disguised as legitimate investment platforms to defraud victims around the world by tricking them into sending cryptocurrencies, according to an affidavit from an FBI agent.
US Attorney Jeanine Pirro, who announced the charges in press conference In Washington, he said the type of fraud committed at the Shunda complex is among the fastest-growing and most financially devastating forms of cybercrime, costing Americans billions of dollars in losses.
“This is not abstract. It affects the retirement accounts of your neighbors, your friends, your parents,” Perot said. “Some of these victims are so distraught that they end up committing suicide. This is economic murder.”
Workers at the complex told the FBI that they were held against their will and forced to participate in the scams under threat of violence.
“The criminal gangs behind these complexes often lure unsuspecting people to travel to neighboring Thailand with the offer of high-paying technical jobs. However, many of these people’s identity documents are instead confiscated and they are smuggled into (Myanmar) to work in these fraud complexes,” the FBI affidavit says.
Online court records do not list any attorneys for the defendants, Huang and Jiang.
Peru also announced Thursday that authorities had taken down hundreds of scam-related websites and seized a channel on the messaging app Telegram that it said was used to recruit human trafficking victims to a compound in Cambodia.
“These criminals thought they were untouchable because they were outside,” Biro said. “Today, we proved them wrong, and we’re just getting started.”
