Nestled between Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar’s lawless borders lies the Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone—a glittering front for a sinister underworld. Luxury casinos and neon lights cloak the empire of Zhao Wei, a billionaire gangster and Chinese triad boss. Picture a video game’s final boss, and you’ve got him: behind the glamour, he orchestrates a vast network of drug smuggling, money laundering, and human trafficking.

Thousands are trafficked here, trapped in scamming rings that target victims worldwide—with no one to stop it.
