About this episode
In this episode, we explore how industrial-scale scam operations are built on human trafficking, forcing tens of thousands of people into locked compounds to run romance and crypto cons that drain victims’ savings and dignity. In this solo deep dive, we break down how these networks use war zones, satellite internet, and crypto rails to thrive—and what greater awareness and skepticism can do to cut off their power.
