In a major operation, Binance and Thailand's Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD) have successfully dismantled a cryptocurrency investment scam known as the FOX Wallet syndicate. The scam had affected over 200 victims, resulting in losses of more than $6 million.

How the Scam Worked
The scam began with a TikTok account showcasing a luxurious lifestyle and promising high returns on cryptocurrency investments. Victims were lured into investing in a fake trading platform, with initial returns seeming legitimate. However, when they tried to withdraw their funds, they were asked to pay additional fees, and their money was lost.
The Investigation
The TCSD launched an investigation, led by Superintendent Pol. Col. Chitsanupong Waidee, and worked closely with Binance's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU). The FIU used on-chain analytics to track suspicious transactions and identify wallet clusters tied to the scam.
The Takedown
With the evidence gathered, the TCSD arrested eight suspects and seized assets, including cash, luxury cars, and a house. The operation marked a significant blow to the scam network.
A New Era of Collaboration
The success of Operation FOX Hunt highlights the importance of public-private partnerships in combating cybercrime. Binance's collaboration with the TCSD demonstrates the potential for effective cooperation between law enforcement and the cryptocurrency industry.
A Safer Crypto Ecosystem
Binance is committed to user protection and is working to prevent similar scams in the future. Through education and awareness initiatives, such as Binance Academy and security series, Binance aims to empower users and create a safer crypto ecosystem.
This operation serves as a reminder that even sophisticated crypto scams can be traced and taken down with the right collaboration and tools.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Cambodia and Thailand, threatening to impose higher tariffs on both nations unless they immediately cease their ongoing border conflict. The fighting, now in its third day, has resulted in at least 33 casualties and displaced over 168,000 people, creating a humanitarian crisis in the region.

During his visit to Scotland, Trump took decisive diplomatic action, placing separate calls to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thai leadership. In a subsequent post on Truth Social, he made his position clear: "Both parties are looking for an immediate ceasefire and peace. However, returning to trade negotiations with the U.S. will remain inappropriate until the violence stops completely." This hardline approach mirrors Trump's successful 2025 strategy that helped de-escalate tensions between India and Pakistan.

The economic implications of this threat are significant. Thailand, America's 12th largest trading partner with $60 billion in annual bilateral trade, could see tariffs targeting its lucrative electronics exports, which account for 19% of U.S. imports from the country. Cambodia's $3 billion textile industry, a critical sector for its economy, also faces potential disruption. Market analysts warn that prolonged conflict could destabilize the entire ASEAN region, potentially affecting the $1.2 trillion trade bloc's supply chains.

International response has been swift, with the UN Security Council reportedly preparing an emergency session. Meanwhile, ASEAN mediators are working behind the scenes, with Vietnam offering to host neutral negotiations. Trump's administration has set an informal 48-hour deadline for de-escalation before initiating tariff procedures, which could begin as early as Monday. As the situation develops, global markets and diplomatic circles remain on high alert, watching to see whether economic pressure can achieve what traditional diplomacy has so far failed to accomplish.
