In this first video in a series, Erin travels to Cambodia, where she spends three days in and around Sihanoukville — visiting locations tied to the scam economy, including Mango Park, Prince HQ, and the fortress known as Mansion 8, to investigate one urgent question: Is Cambodia’s scam crackdown actually working?

“The deeper we went, the clearer it got.
Shut down might just mean moved.”
— Erin West, Operation Shamrock
