Hu Shi, linked to the Prince Group's large-scale 'pig butchering' scam operations in Cambodia, was arrested in Japan on June 14 for falsifying public records. This arrest is part of a broader global effort to combat crypto-related fraud, following the U.S. Department of Justice's massive bitcoin forfeiture action against Prince Group in 2025. The crackdown continues as authorities target key figures in these criminal networks to prevent further financial crimes. FBI leadership has emphasized intensified efforts to bring such criminals to justice.
