An individual nicknamed “Red Bull” is lured from Thailand to Laos by an agent and delivered into a Chinese-controlled scam compound (Boshang) in the Golden Triangle, where his passport is taken and he is coerced into night-shift social-media scams using fake profiles, scripts, AI tools, and cryptocurrency to meet revenue quotas. The account describes the cross-border facilitation, dormitory conditions, minimal training, and incentive structures (team flags and a drum for $100k scams), offering first-hand insight into the organization and scale of this transnational fraud operation.
