## Summary

The US Treasury has sanctioned four people and 41 organisations it says helped Cambodia’s Prince Group hide assets and evade earlier sanctions. The action targets alleged financial and business links to scam compounds where trafficked workers are forced to defraud victims through cryptocurrency investment and romance scams.

Among those named are people Treasury links to Prince Group executives, companies in several countries, and a Malaysian national it says led scams that cost Americans more than $400,000. The US is seeking to forfeit about $14 billion in Bitcoin tied to the group; Prince Group denies the allegations. The action was coordinated with US and overseas authorities amid wider estimates of billions in losses from scam operations.
