00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the R.E.D.I.M.E. website.
00:04At the beginning of the program, we have to talk about one thing.
00:06The Philippine police broke into a large fraud center in the local area and arrested a member of the Lao Qian Group.
00:12And the reason why he is on the cover of many Chinese newspapers today is that the big boss behind the Lao Qian Group is actually a Malaysian.
00:21According to the report, the Philippine police cooperated with local units and raided a large base in Bajak Free Harbor, Badan Province, in the Philippine West.
00:32And this base was rented by Central One Butter And to operate the entertainment and lottery business.
00:40Although the Free Harbor is allowed by this company to operate locally, they did not get the government's entertainment and lottery licenses.
00:48So it was identified as illegal operation and was attacked by the authorities.
00:52The Philippine authorities said they received a video showing that the Lao Qian Group, in addition to illegally operating the lottery business,
00:58It is also engaged in various online frauds, love frauds, and other illegal activities, mainly based on sports lottery, in the base surrounded by transparent curtains.
01:08The Philippine authorities arrested nearly 1,000 employees in the park during the attack.
01:13Among them were 300 foreign personnel, mainly Chinese and Malaysians.
01:18Judging from the number of people arrested, you can imagine how large this fraud group is.
01:23And the name of the big boss behind the group also came to light.
01:28There is news that the head of Lao Qian Group is a Malaysian. His name is Zhou Hanhui.
01:35In 2022, the investment of more than 600 million Philippine pesos is estimated to be about 45 million dollars.
01:41The base where the company operates in the Free Harbor.
01:44And the news also came to light.
01:46In addition to this CEO Zhou, he is a Malaysian.
01:50The senior executives of other companies are also from Malaysia.
01:55The report also said that even before the base was attacked,
01:59In June last year, this company was questioned by the authorities for violating the law because of the operating model.
02:04The Philippine governor of Badan Province personally inspected the operation of this company.
02:09And instructed to continue to inspect this company.
02:12The report described Zhou Hanhui, the head of the group who opened the door and welcomed the governor to inspect.
02:18He once declared to officials that their company was just a company outside the business process.
02:25Instead of the Philippine offshore mining operator POGO, they did not operate illegally.
02:31Today, there are many reports that specifically explain the background of the so-called Philippine offshore mining operator POGO.
02:40In fact, after the Philippines legalized online gambling in 2016,
02:44It mainly wants to provide online gambling services to international customers.
02:48Attract foreign investment to promote local economic development.
02:51Although in the beginning, under the framework of POGO,
02:54A company that operates online gambling,
02:56The allowances and taxes they handed over to the Philippine government.
03:00Indeed, it has increased the income of the Philippine national treasury.
03:03It is said that there is still a huge contribution.
03:06But this is a common point.
03:08It is an online gambling service that can be operated by the Philippine government.
03:13Although it makes a lot of money, there are problems soon.
03:16The report described that after the policy was in operation for a while,
03:19The local people's lives began to be taxed.
03:22Illegal activities and foreign investment have led to a rise in house rents.
03:26At the same time, from 2016 to now,
03:28Local-related human trafficking, online fraud, and other online gambling-related crimes.
03:34Not only are they getting more and more frequent, but they are getting more and more exaggerated.
03:37Causing social tension.
03:39So last year, the Philippine people couldn't stand these.
03:43After threatening their safety,
03:45They began to use the power of the public to pressure the Philippine government.
03:48They must review those so-called companies that can legally operate online gambling.
03:53In the end, the Philippine government had no choice but to compromise in the name.
03:57In July last year, the government announced the withdrawal of power.
04:00It completely banned the operation of online gambling in the local area.
