Cambodian Fraud Tycoon Linked to China Intel Agency

The Cambodian Prince Group, designated by the United States as a transnational criminal organization, and its founder Chen Zhi are under investigation by multiple countries worldwide.

On Monday, NTD reported on the double life of Chen. Publicly, he’s seen as a top business figure in Cambodia—active in charity, and a senior adviser to both the current and former prime ministers. He holds multiple nationalities, including Cambodian and British citizenship.

But behind the scenes, he’s accused of running at least 10 scam compounds across Cambodia—operations that blend human trafficking, forced labor, torture, and wire fraud.

Little is known about his early years, except that he’s from Fuzhou in China’s Fujian Province and once worked in an internet café. How he built his empire in Cambodia remains unclear.

Recently, Chinese media began publishing coordinated reports framing him and his scam empire as a criminal network formed by former internet café operators from Fujian.

Yet a former Chinese intelligence officer claims Chen and the Prince Group are tied to Beijing’s overseas espionage network.
