A crowd of reporters descended on the Chrey Thum area in Sampov Poun city, Kandal province, on the morning of September 22 to get a look at a massive cyber scam compound recently shut down by authorities. The sheer scale of the place is staggering—55 multi-story buildings and 113 villas, packing a total of 4,707 rooms. Rumors have linked the sprawling complex to Prince Group and Chen Zhi, who was recently sent back to China. But by the time police arrived to raid the site, the bosses and workers had already gotten wind of the operation and vanished, leaving behind empty halls and piles of gear.
According to local media and official documents, the registered owner of the compound is Chiu Yung Wu, with a foreigner named John Risskin listed as the head on paper. Court warrants have already been issued for both men, and authorities are applying for Interpol Red Notices to hunt them down. Police spent hours hauling out evidence, seizing 3,779 computers, a staggering 11,585 mobile phones, 35 servers, 56 CPUs, a stack of passports, and even eight sets of foreign police uniforms. Documents show that law enforcement officially sealed off the site and launched their investigation back on January 20, 2026.
Down in this busy border zone, life usually moves to the hum of motorcycle exhaust and the sizzle of street food stalls. Back when the compound was fully operational, nearby rental rooms and late-night eateries were buzzing into the early hours. Now, behind locked gates, thousands of rooms sit empty while officers trickle in and out carrying evidence crates. Locals along the strip can’t stop talking about the raid—after all, it is not every day you see over 10,000 phones hauled off in the back of police trucks. The investigation remains ongoing.
