In the bustling Ministry of Labour premises in Tak, there’s quite the stir. It’s registration day for Myanmar workers awaiting their official permits, a doorway to working in Thailand. But underneath the regular procedure, ripples of change sweep through these hopeful migrants, hinged to a new directive from the home military government. Sapphire-blue skies over Myanmar conceal an economy bearing the weight of uncertainty. The military government recently decreed that the nation’s expatriate workers should contribute at least a quarter of their overseas currency income to the local banking system, reshaping the landscape of foreign remittance.

With the OneCoin logo prominently displayed on the company’s office door in Sofia, Bulgaria back in 2016, many unsuspecting investors were drawn into a well-orchestrated scam that was about to blow up massively.

This culminated in a twenty-year-long prison sentence for Greenwood, handed out by the US federal court, which found him guilty of large-scale fraud. In fact, it was no small feat. The orchestrated scheme had duped an enormous crowd of 3.5 million individuals out of…
