The network security department of Mianyang, Sichuan Province has arrested a large transnational live broadcasting company for streaming porn and online gambling. Over 30 gang members controlled the operation from Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
The platform had nearly 10,000 hosts and over 500,000 members. In addition to pornography they also ran online gambling platforms such as "Jincheng Chess", "Nine-Five Supreme" and "Xiaoxin Chess".
The operation totaled around 260 million yuan and the polize seized more than 7.5 million yuan of funds. 52 suspects were arrested who held various senior management positions on the platform.
At the end of last year, Mianyang police noted the presence of live streamed pornography on streaming apps like "Moebao". After confirming the criminal activity the network security department of Mianyang police quickly set up a task force to investigate the case thoroughly.
The investigators found that the operation was the same as "Mermaid", a pornographic live streaming platform previously targeted by police. In order to lure investigators the platform was rebranded as "Meng Bao", "Miss", "Xiao Mo" and other platforms.
After investigating, the police found that over 30 senior members of the gang commanded the operation from Phnom Penh, Cambodia, using a variety of chat tools to communicate.
In order to avoid arrest, the backbone responsible for specific criminal activities for this gang were distributed in 32 different locations across the country.
The platform has over 500,000 members and nearly 10,000 staff members. The platform provided live streamed pornography and gambling.
The gang used media and art companies to disguise their operations and recruit staff, tricking women into signing contracts to perform sexual acts for high salaries. They also demanded large amounts of deposits in advance and controlled the women.
The police transferred 52 suspects to China for prosecution. A few are still stranded and hiding in Cambodia and other countries while the police is actively searching for them.

Curious if this group was involved in spreading malware through porn ad clicks as well. There are a lot of ways to make money off the porn biz for creative, ethically-challenged types.
