According to Protos, the Thai government cut off power, Internet and fuel supplies from the Thai-Myanmar border area at 9 a.m. on February 5 (10 a.m. Beijing time) to combat local cryptocurrency fraud centers. The operation involved five service providers in three regions, Myawaddy, Payathonzu and Tachilek. According to the investigation, the KK Park fraud center in Myawaddy is suspected of defrauding USDT worth $100 million through a "pig killing dish." In 2023, Myanmar authorities rescued 1,200 imprisoned persons in the area. The power outage is an important measure taken by the Thai government to respond to China's pressure, after a Chinese actor was deceived in the region, attracting attention. Thai Prime Minister Pathonta said that fraudulent activities seriously affect Thailand's national image and severe measures need to be taken. Although the power outage measures will affect the normal operation of local residents and hospitals, the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it has notified the relevant communities in advance.
