Warning: podcast spoilers

In the first 3 episodes (free to listen), the podcast team pulls the thread and finds that the scammers are a highly organized system of scammers.

They are based out of Myanmar, outside of the law of the central government (basically warlord country). They trick people with English skills into coming to Thailand for a job then smuggle them across the border without their know.

Recent news update: Just in the past week, Thailand used their military to invade and free thousands of people who were being held captive in these warlord towns, meaning this scam organization likely lost their pig butchering talent.
