I have to say some countries are really heavy on this. Myanmar and some provinces in India. Usually it's corrupt governments profiting from the scams so they turn a blind eye.

There should be more international pressure on this. Geoblocks won't help because they'll just proxy. But completely withholding development aid until they stop their crimes will.

Also putting the top figures on international ban lists of course.
