Tokyo Police Arrest Possible Exec of Major Asian Fraud Ring – Adnkronos English
Tokyo, June 22 (Jiji Press)–Tokyo police have arrested three people, including a man believed to be an executive of Cambodia-based Prince Group, one of the largest international fraud organizations in Asia, for allegedly submitting a false move-in notification, investigative sources said Monday. Among the three held by the Metropolitan Police Department were Cypriot national Hu Xiaowei, a 44-year-old business owner whose home address is unknown, and Li Yin Hong, a 31-year-old Chinese who is a company employee living in Tokyo’s Setagaya Ward, the sources said. The MPD will investigate Prince Group’s activities in Japan. The organization has been slapped with sanctions by the United States. The trio conspired to submit a false notification of Hu’s residency in Tokyo’s Chuo Ward to the ward office in April, according to their arrest warrants. Li visited the office for the submission. Hu said in police questioning that he transferred his residency registration to Tokyo in order to obtain permanent residency in Japan. But he added that he does not know the details because he left the procedures to an agent. Hu has frequently visited Japan with a residency status of highly skilled professional. He was arrested in the western Japan city of Osaka as his allegations were discovered after he visited the country last October. According to a corporate registry, Hu founded a trading company with a capital of 8 million yen in Tokyo’s Adachi Ward in April 2023, and the company relocated its head office to Chiyoda Ward in the Japanese capital in April 2024. Its capital was increased to 50 million yen in March this year. U.S. authorities designated Prince Group as an entity subject to sanctions in October 2025 for its alleged involvement in malpractice including money laundering and charged its chairman, Chen Zhi. The Cambodian government detained him in January and handed him over to the Chinese government. END [Copyright The Jiji Press, Ltd.]

Tracers in the dark: the global hunt for the crime lords of cryptocurrency
"A propulsive story of a new breed of investigators who have cracked the Bitcoin blockchain, taking once-anonymous realms of money, drugs, and violence and holding them up to the light Black markets have always thrived in the shadows of society. Increasingly, these enterprises-drug dealing, money laundering, human trafficking, terrorist funding-have found their shadows online. Digital crime lords inhabiting lawless corners of the internet have operated more freely than their analog counterparts could have ever dreamed of. At the heart of their massive conspiracies: cryptocurrency. By transacting not in dollars or pounds but in Bitcoin-a currency with anonymous ledgers, overseen by no government, beholden to no bankers-black marketeers robbed law enforcement for years of their chief method of cracking down on criminal markets, namely, following the money. But what if the centerpiece of this dark economy held a secret, fatal flaw? What if their currency wasn't so cryptic after all? An investigator using the right mixture of technical wizardry, financial forensics, and old-fashioned persistence could crack open an entire world of crime. Men with No Names is a story of crime and consequences unlike any other. With unprecedented access to the major players in federal law enforcement and private industry, veteran cybersecurity reporter Andy Greenberg tells an astonishing saga of criminal empires built and destroyed. He introduces an IRS agent with a defiant streak; a Bitcoin-tracing Danish entrepreneur; and a colorful ensemble of hardboiled agents and prosecutors as they delve deep into the crypto-underworld. The result is a thrilling, globe-spanning story of dirty cops, drug bazaars, sex-abuse rings, and the biggest takedown of an online narcotics market in the history of the internet. This is a cat-and-mouse story and a tale of a technological one-upmanship that's utterly of our time. Filled with canny maneuvering and shocking twists, it answers a provocative question: How would some of the world's most brazen criminals behave if they were sure they could never get caught?"--

ICE Detention Trends | Vera Institute of Justice
Every year, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) subjects hundreds of thousands of people to civil immigration detention—a practice that is unjust, inhumane, and completely unnecessary. It does so under a veil of secrecy, sharing only limited, often error-prone statistics with the public. ICE’s failure to regularly release accurate, complete, and accessible data to the public enables it to operate its multi-billion-dollar detention network with impunity and little oversight.
