Sanduo Group / Giant Company
Summary
Sanduo Group and Giant Company are alleged front organizations used to operate cryptocurrency 'pig butchering' investment fraud schemes targeting victims in the United States and dozens of other countries. Four individuals — three Indonesian nationals and one Burmese national — were federally charged in the Southern District of California in March and April 2026 for wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy in connection with these entities, following a coordinated international takedown led by the FBI, Dubai Police, Chinese Ministry of Public Security, and Royal Thai Police that resulted in 276 arrests and the dismantling of nine scam centers. The broader pig butchering ecosystem from which these groups operated is documented by law enforcement and researchers to rely heavily on human trafficking and forced labor.
