The vast and sophisticated global enterprise that is Scam Inc
This week’s The Economist reports on “pig-butchering”, the most lucrative scam in a global industry that steals over $500bn a year from victims all around the world.
In “Scam Inc”, an eight-part podcast, The Economist investigates the crime, the criminals and the untold suffering they cause. “Scam Inc” is about the most significant change in transnational organised crime in decades.
