Could you elaborate on the current state of Filipino involvement in
cryptocurrency scams operating in Cambodia and Laos? Specifically, I'm interested in knowing the approximate number of Filipinos actively engaged in these illicit activities. Are there any significant trends or patterns emerging in terms of their recruitment, training, or operational methods? Additionally, have there been any notable cases or investigations highlighting this issue, and what measures are being taken to address and prevent such scams?
