After a series of Chinese raids, a large number of Burmese e-fraud workers have been arrested and e-fraud parks closed, but recently, these Burmese e-fraud industries have seen signs of a resurgence.
Myanmar’s KKK park is building a new building
According to the latest satellite images, At least 27 scam parks reactivated in Myanmar’s Thunwadi regionIn the park, many supposed office buildings and dormitory buildings appeared. One of the largest parks in the K.K. park, in just seven months, added a full operating block.The entrance security checkpoint has been greatly expanded, and there are even special transportation channels and routes.
in addition At least five new ports have also emerged on the Moai River on the border with Thailand.It was used to secretly transport equipment, fuel and people from Thailand to the scam park.
This means that electronic fraud in northern Myanmar has not been truly eradicated, but is still re-establishing expansion at an extremely fast speed, and has completed a "hidden upgrade": From the past "hand workshop" scam, it has evolved into organized, logistical, and technologically supported multinational grouped operations.
That’s why these Burmese fraud parks are recovering so quickly. A key factor is the intervention of "Starlink".
Satellite images show, Nearly 80 star link receivers are installed on the roof of KK Park.。In the past, once Thailand cut off its land network and power supply, the park would be paralyzed. But now, as long as the satellite chain antenna is aimed at the satellite, the park can still be connected at high speed to continue to operate fraud.
It is worth noting that StarChain is not legally licensed to operate in Myanmar.But according to data from the Asia-Pacific Network Information Center, from July to October, StarChain’s network traffic in Myanmar has climbed first in the country.

This explains two things: First, the electronic fraud parks no longer rely on the local government's network system, and they can be completely "deregulated"; second, the biggest "trump card" of the anti-fraud operation in northern Myanmar-disconnection of the Internet, has lost its effect.
In other words, The star chain has given the park a pair of “invisible wings” that can still rely on satellite networks to survive, even if they are out of power, off the grid, and blocking borders.。 And all this, Musk is obviously not unaware of it.
As early as last year, U.S. local prosecutors sent a letter to SpaceX, asking it to explain why the StarChain system was used for criminal activities; in May, several U.S. media reports noted that Musk's "StarChain" satellite Internet equipment has long been widely used by Southeast Asia's e-fraud parks, related reports said that at least eight e-fraud parks in the Newcastle Belt have deployed "StarChain".
The US media pointed out in the report, " StarChain’s terminal equipment can easily be purchased online and then shipped to the “Disabled” area.The report of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime also pointed out that Southeast Asian electronic fraud parks purchased Starlink terminals through intermediary channels and then smuggled them into northern Burma. However, Musk has so far failed to respond or explain the incident, nor has he restricted the use of the "star chain".
Musk has not yet responded to the StarChain incident.
In fact, the key to the star chain problem is not just “technology abuse.” There is also a strong link with the political and economic interest chain behind it.
As is well known, Musk's StarChain was a key support project during the Trump administration. After Trump returned to the White House, in order to create a "Made in America" technology model, he once again openly stated that he would fully open the commercial use of the StarChain. Today, even if Trump and Musk have openly "broken up", they have always failed to handle the "star chain".
For the United States, The existence of the “star chain” is essentially an extension of the U.S. “tech hegemony”, which gives American capital a virtually uncontrollable “information network” on a global scale.。Once this network falls into the hands of gray forces, it becomes a "protective umbrella for global crime."
Today, the United States is "pretending to be deaf" about the outflow of star link equipment, On the contrary, it shows that some forces are acquiescing or even using these gray markets to accumulate funds and influence for themselves。 These capitals launder money through gray products in Southeast Asia, and then feed back to the American political and business network, forming a hidden "black gold cycle."
Looking back, the revival of the Burmese fraud park means that a more complex game has begun. After all, the flood flooded, not because there was no dam, but because someone was digging a hole in the dark. Today's Burmese North is still a hotbed of e-fraud and some capital forces exporting gray profits.
For China, this means that we must never relax. This battle with the electric fraudsters is far from over.
