It was seized in a bust of a forced labour camp in Cambodia, where expats were beaten with baseball bats if they didn't scam Westerner's over the Internet for 12 hours a day, to steal all of their money, usually via Bitcoin.

I hope the Dept. of Justice attempts to return the funds to the victims, or to the families of the ones who committed suicide.

Yeah it was a great but scary podcast
