Read it:
Cambodia, 1991 to 2026. In a poor, dollarized kingdom rebuilt by the United Nations, fortunes are made from forests, land and casino licenses, and honorific titles and citizenship go for donations. After a 2019 gambling ban and a pandemic, Sihanoukville's Chinese casino boom turns into walled scam compounds filled with trafficked workers. Then Thailand goes to war, a Korean student dies in Kampot, Washington and London impose sanctions and move to seize fifteen billion dollars in bitcoin, and the conglomerate's founder is handed to China. Covers Chen Zhi and the Prince Group, Li Xiong and the Huione Group, Ly Yong Phat and the L.Y.P. Group, Kok An and Crown Resorts, Heng Pov and the Phnom Penh police, and Moek Dara and the National Authority for Combating Drugs.
