Myanmar's electric fraud AI industrialization exposed: Starlink becomes a key infrastructure, with encrypted payments and OpenAI/Google models included in the toolchain

According to a report from Hongxing News, an investigation report leaked from a scam park in Myanmar shows that global telecom fraud is accelerating towards an "AI industrialization + cross-border encrypted payment" system. The scam network completes fund circulation through cryptocurrency and uses automated tools based on large models for multi-language script generation, identity disguise, and emotional manipulation.According to the investigation analysis, these systems extensively utilize OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini at the functional level to support "scaled social fraud." The funding side achieves rapid laundering and transfer through on-chain payments and cross-border channels, forming a dual structure of "AI customer acquisition + encrypted settlement," which gives the fraud industry a high degree of automation and transnational diffusion capability. In addition, Starlink, owned by Musk, has become the number one network service provider for the scam park in Myanmar, with American ISP providers carrying nearly one-fifth of the park's traffic.In response to the related accusations, OpenAI stated that the behavior of scammers using ChatGPT is highly similar to that of ordinary users, making identification difficult. However, they have banned about 100,000 suspicious accounts monthly through behavioral pattern recognition and risk control systems. Google stated that its AI models have safety barriers in place and emphasized its commitment to "responsible AI development" to limit the tools' use for fraud and other illegal purposes.

Electric Soul has deployed over tens of thousands of shared charging devices globally, covering core markets in Europe, America, and Southeast Asia

Global technology company Electric Soul (EST) has disclosed the latest progress in its global deployment. As of June 2026, the company has deployed tens of thousands of standardized commercial shared charging devices in multiple countries across Europe, America, and Southeast Asia, covering high-traffic scenarios such as business districts, transportation hubs, and dining clusters, while maintaining stable operations.As the scale of devices reaches tens of thousands, Electric Soul is transitioning from regional market expansion to a phase of global-scale operations. The project enhances replication efficiency between different countries and cities through unified hardware standards, cloud-based SaaS operation and maintenance backend, localized payment adaptations, and city agency cooperation models, providing support for the continuous expansion of the global shared charging network.Electric Soul stated that leveraging the large-scale implementation experience in the European, American, and Southeast Asian markets, the next step will be to expand into incremental markets such as the Middle East, South Asia, and Latin America, continuously promoting the vision of "global reach, boundaryless charging," and further exploring new models of global energy infrastructure in RWA and DePIN scenarios.

In the Ural region of Russia, 10,000 mining machines were seized from an illegal mining site, with electricity cost losses amounting to nearly 1 billion rubles

According to Bits.media, a large illegal cryptocurrency mining operation was discovered in the city of Nizhny Tagil in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia, and the nearby city of Kushva. The mining operation was hidden in an abandoned industrial park and deployed about 10,000 mining machines, which were dismantled by a joint operation of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, the police, and the power company.Local power companies estimate that the losses caused by the long-term illegal electricity usage of this mining operation amount to nearly 1 billion rubles (approximately 12.7 million USD). Investigators stated that its electricity consumption was sufficient to meet the lighting needs of a small city. Law enforcement has arrested three suspects, who are currently under house arrest and are being investigated for "causing property damage through deception or abuse of trust." Under Russian law, those involved could face up to 5 years in prison.Investigations revealed that the operators of the mining site accessed the power grid through intermediaries and allegedly tampered with electricity meter data to cover up the actual electricity usage. Law enforcement agencies stated that the actual electricity consumption of the mining operation was about twice the approved quota. The local energy department initially launched an investigation due to frequent voltage fluctuations, power outages, and equipment failures in the abandoned factory area, ultimately pinpointing the location of the mining operation. A local television station also produced a documentary titled "Mining" to document this operation.
