Metastasis

from Who Killed Haing Ngor? · host Mary Patricia Nunan

In 1996, a Taiwanese hitman moves to Cambodia. His triad, the Bamboo Union, was already on the ground — loan-sharking, moving money, and running protection rackets with corrupt officials. Those networks didn’t disappear. They metastasized. Today, they sit inside a cyber-scam economy worth billions — built on fraud, coercion, and trafficked workers. So can today’s triad members shed light on what was happening in Cambodia in the 1990's — and who Haing Ngor may have been dealing with?
