The suspected head of a Myanmar-based cybercrime syndicate is dead and three relatives in Chinese custody, just days after warrants were issued in China for their arrest.
Chinese state news agency Xinhua reported on Thursday that Ming Xuechang, also known as Myin Shaw Chang, “committed suicide for fear of punishment as the Myanmese side hunted him down on Wednesday night”.
Beijing has ramped up pressure on Myanmar’s junta to clamp down on the sprawling cybercrime industry, which has reportedly scammed and trapped hundreds of thousands of people from China.
