Prince Group and Huione Still Involved in Scam Compounds


Elliptic | Although recent sanctions and law enforcement actions have disrupted scam compound activity in Cambodia, they haven’t stopped it. You may just have to look harder to find it.

Elliptic has been investigating a large scam compound, commonly referred to as "#8 Park," linked to both Prince Group and Huione Group. Some history:

  • In October 2025, the U.S. and U.K. governments targeted the Prince Group in coordinated enforcement actions, sanctioning 146 entities and individuals for their role in large-scale online fraud and human trafficking. The Department of Justice announced the largest forfeiture action in US history, then valued at $15 billion.

  • Also in October 2025, FinCEN designated Huione Group as a “primary money laundering concern” under Section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act.

  • In January 2026, Chen Zhi — Prince Group chairman and central player in the October 2025 indictments — was arrested in Cambodia and extradited to China.

  • Following Chen Zhi’s extradition, many scam compounds started to shut down and evacuate.

Meanwhile, #8 Park continued operations. Built in the last two years and still under construction, the initial phases were operational. According to Elliptic’s post, the compound started to empty in early February.

Elliptic has been tracking the situation and investigations to identify the addresses and entities involved in the networks tied to the compounds.
