Welcome Khmer New Year

When western countries and local and international agencies, such as IOM - UN Migration, fail to support victims of human trafficking, they must accept responsibility for their acts. Some victims have returned to online frauds because they need money to buy tickets or urgently need shelter.

Daniel Thornburgh is greatly appreciated; with his assistance, another Indonesian will be able to afford a flight back to his homeland to reunite with family after having lived in a shelter.

Many thanks to Daniel Thornburgh. We rented two rooms for people trafficked to work in Cambodia, and they are now filled, so lone-wolf has to reserve another room; without his support, these individuals may struggle to find a place to sleep...it charged $10 each night.

Thank you very much to Daniel Thornburgh...some folks are now in the shelter after being homeless, and we were able to secure two rental rooms for a few others, including ladies.

He has returned home to Uganda and is seeking for work to help him pay off his debt...after paying for his airfares. While in Cambodia, he was transferred from one camp to another and forced to defraud individuals in the United States. He sent me this photo...

Two women who spent a few nights sleeping on the street in an organisation eventually find a guesthouse to stay in... @DanielleRose84 purchased some food for them.

They leave the guesthouse smiling and delighted for the shelthers, both of whom are overjoyed because they have received tickets to return home. Both women claimed to have been smacked and had their ears pinched when they were unable to reach their goal.

Many of them claimed that they had been tortured to commit online, and they had lost nearly everything. They had rescued themselves. They are in debt since they need money to buy their tickets, and now they must find money to repay their debts.

The lone wolf keep receives messages on a regular basis, with people asking for shelter and food. Some of them have suffered physical and emotional torment.

We are not heartless like @IOMCambodia ...Rather of turning a blind eye to their struggle to survive, we may contribute in small ways.

@UNODC_HTMSS ..victims struggle to find their way out of their nightmare--they sleep on the street, without food, medicine, discrimination, or fear...only one non-governmental organisations (NGOs) support them, and their assistance is restricted. During Khmer New Year, they do not work.

Today, Lone Wolf received approximately ten messages from Africans who were stuck seeking tickets but did not have food and shelter... Thank you for your support, @vicheika11 and @jacobincambodia ...

Diplomatic Briefing on the Enactment of Cambodian Law on Combatting Online Scams

@DanielleRose84 and @MechDara1 went to check out the #Huione protesters. “Huione is like ABA … we need to take money to do business,” she said. “We have exchanged money that Chinese people [send] and saved up money. mekongindependent.com/2026/04/huio...

Another interesting picture: the meeting with diplomats and foreign organisations, Senior Minister Chhai Sinarith presented the law on combating online fraud

After sleeping on the street for several nights, two women finally found a guesthouse to rest in. Thank you, #Lin

while the people who work in the international and local NGOs that are supposed to support human trafficking live in luxurious houses or hotels with meals, while victims sleep on the streets without food and water – they are asleep with nightmares. @IOMCambodia @IJM @amnesty ....

“Last night, I cried [and] I could not sleep because many people in the group [of Panda Bank investors] claimed we could not get our money,” she said. The National Bank of Cambodia revoked Panda Bank’s license in February and ordered its liquidation.

Where's the $25 million? an analysis of Panda Bank annual reports raises questions about a $25 million loan to Panda Bank from former chairman Li Xiong — who was arrested and deported to China on Wednesday over alleged fraud and ties to scam operators. mekongindependent.com/2026/04/pand...

Why did one of the most untouchable and powerful banks fail... One woman in her fifties expressed anxiety that Panda Bank would not pay her back, as her entire business had banked with the company, which she trusted mekongindependent.com/2026/04/pand...

Two African women have slept on the street for four nights in front of the one charity that provides shelter... Both of them had undergone torture in the compound when they were unable to fulfil their targets....

The boss had tormented him and left scars on his back, shoulder, foot, and hands...After three nights sleeping on the street, he suddenly has access to shelter

Tip of the iceberg for those stranded following the crackdown: a number of Africans have spent several nights sleeping on the street outside the @IOMCambodia headquarters. Many of them do not have shelters and do not have food.

Cash out some money to pay for people who sleep on the street at @IOMCambodia office...

Tip of the iceberg for those stuck after the crackdown: Yesterday, lone-wolf paid for their guesthouse lodging over 5 days and drove them to the airport. Their flight was rescheduled, and they had to spend the night at the airport....i have to send some money for food.

“We saw previously in Preah Sihanouk province that we conducted a crackdown, but scams returned even bigger than before. … So the government must think about the strategy and plan to make sure this time after cleaning up scams, it will not return.” mekongindependent.com/2026/04/camb...

“The number of Korean tourists dropped quickly, flight tickets were canceled, hotel rooms were canceled. … It created a fear that when they come to Cambodia, it is dangerous.” mekongindependent.com/2026/04/camb...

Money rules your life! For $120, he could buy his tickets to return to his nation and reunite with his family and wife...nothing would be happier than seeing people reunite with their family after enduring the long nightmare.

This evening, lone-wolf handed money to at least 20 people who sleep on the street, with each receiving $5..

What scares me the most right now is reading their message since I can't find a decent reason to defend my arguments. They urgently need our help, which I am unable to provide. I hate providing any excuse not to help them.

Well beyond the action movie. How the Penal Crime department officers deal with kidnapping case in Sihanouk province...

Converting or transferring USDT to ABA?

Tip of the iceberg: Behind international organisations like @amnesty, it has the funds to do research on the online scam, but it lacks funds to assist with the online scam's human trafficking, and it has denied help to those victims... cambojanews.com/dozen-cambod...

After the National Bank of Cambodia (NBC) terminated the Penda Commercial Bank Plc's (Panda Bank) licence, many of its clients waited to retrieve their money while the bank was heavily guarded with AKs

The compound was still operating recently. Journalist Hem Vanna produced a video report on violence in the scam centre on January 30 in Banteay Meanchey province. He was charged with incitement and "interception or recording of private conversations".

It appears to be an abandoned car, as it was discovered near one of the compounds in Banteay Meanchey province. Construction is expanding close to the site, which is highly guarded...the lone-wolf ride around to check development in Banteay Meanchey province.

Please pick your favourite colour, sir.

The photo was taken in Svay Rieng province at the same time as the raid was taking place in many provinces... Many people have been struggling to find work as a result of many building projects being halted owing to the crackdown – unemployment, whether long- or short-term, is looming.

He doesn't have a place to sleep, so he decides to sleep near the @IOMCambodia office area, but he's kicked out... This is pretty cold-blooded treatment... Where are @amnesty, @IJM, and other international organisations? They are living off the sweat of the victim's brow.

Li Xiong, the former chairman of Huione Group, would be among about 80 cases involving internet fraud during the last eight months, and around 700 masterminds and accomplices of various nationalities, including prominent cases such as Chen Zhi and Ly Kuong, have been arrested.

I keep getting messages from folks seeking for aid on a daily basis...this is just one of many texts I receive. Where can you find @IOMCambodia and other international and local organisations?

The man falls to the ground after people try to take him off an electric pole.

Lung vs. dirty smoke rock: how much can your lung tolerate?

One of the untouchable people has been captured and extradited to China – According to the Cambodian Interior Ministry, Li Xiong was detained and sent to China for running an online scam in Cambodia. The ministry also stated that his Cambodian citizenship was withdrawn yesterday.
