With over a dozen of interviews with trapped victims, experts and satellite imagery, I and @TavleenTarrant investigate how new scam compounds are rapidly popping up in Myanmar despite an international crackdown. This compound in particular is targeting Indian Americans.
Each sounding of the gong puts more pressure on Ganea, an Indian national who says he spends at least 18 hours a day trying to lure Indian American men into romance scams — and is punished when he fails. nbcnews.com/world/asia/myanm…

In an interview with @NBCNews’ @mithilagg, I argued that Oman simply doesn’t have that level of a relationship with Iran “that it would sacrifice the world for it.” Oman “will not put itself in danger with five of its most important partners in the GCC.” nbcnews.com/world/iran/strai…

BAC Consulting CEO confirmed to me her company worked with Gold Apollo. But when asked about the pagers and the explosions, she said, “I don’t make the pagers. I am just the intermediate. I think you got it wrong.” @nbcnews
Taiwan said the pagers that blew up in Lebanon were not made domestically. Gold Apollo said it had licensed manufacturing to BAC Consulting in Hungary who take care of "specific regions." It's still unclear those regions included Lebanon. nbcnews.com/news/world/taiwa…
