We've seen a lot of scam centers throughout Cambodia emptying out.
21:43
Streams of people from all over the world, India, Indonesia, China, other parts, queuing out front of their country's embassies trying to get home, saying that they had escaped and wanting to get a ticket back to their place of birth.
21:58
But what we've also heard is that a lot of centers are allegedly still in operation.
22:03
They've simply quietened down.
22:05
According to one of the senior ministers we've spoken to, scam activity is down fifty percent in Cambodia.

7:22
And so he hustled.
7:24
He started speaking with people who had hundreds of fish ponds and were pretty big in the industry.

And he asked them, like, what do you need? What is the issue? And they said, you know, at some point, as you get bigger, your issue becomes feeding the fish.
