Myanmar Proposes Death Penalty for Forced Crypto Fraud, Life Imprisonment for Operators

The parliament is expected to review the legislation in early June. The move follows the U.S. Treasury's September 2025 sanctions against multiple entities in Myanmar and Cambodia linked to alleged cryptocurrency investment fraud schemes.
