đ° The $14 Billion Mirage of Cambodia
Once hailed as Cambodiaâs young business prodigy, Chen Zhi built a vast empire â banks, airlines, luxury hotels, even city skylines.
But behind the shine, a digital storm brewed.
Last week, the U.S. unmasked Chen and his Prince Group, accusing them of running one of Asiaâs largest crypto scam networks, worth nearly $14 billion.
His rise was cinematic â born in Fujian, China, moved to Cambodia, gained citizenship, and became a billionaire before 30. By 35, he held royal titles and political influence.
When Cambodiaâs gambling industry collapsed in 2019, many fell.
Chen soared.
Billions allegedly flowed through shell firms and crypto layers across borders.
Now, 128 of his companies are under U.S. and U.K. sanctions â assets frozen, probes underway.
Chen?
Vanished.
His skyscrapers still stand â silent monuments to ambition and illusion.
In cryptoâs fast-moving world, where money travels faster than truth, his story is a stark reminder:
đ Not every billionaire builds dreams â some build shadows. âĄ
