    That will slash their GDP. Brutally.

        They’re mostly run by the triads, so not much.

      Take a look at all the money they are talking about. They have scammed multiple billions and you can guess how many bribes they are able to throw around.

      “Past crackdowns in Cambodia have often left the financial and protection networks intact, allowing operations to quickly reconstitute.”

      Not to mention there might be some profit to be made.
