[Myanmar Passes Anti-Cyber Fraud Law: Death Penalty for Forced Participation Leading to Death, Life Imprisonment for Cryptocurrency Scams] Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on July 28, according to Decrypt, Myanmar's military-backed parliament passed an anti-cyber fraud law on Tuesday. Based on the draft released in May this year, using violence or illegal detention to force others into cyber fraud, if it results in the victim's death, can be punishable by death; operating cyber fraud parks or engaging in 'digital currency fraud (cryptocurrency fraud)' can lead to a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Legislator Aye Chan told AFP that the death penalty clause has been retained in the approved version, and the 'important parts of the bill remain unchanged,' though the full text of the law has not yet been released. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime estimates that losses from related fraud activities in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania could reach between $88.3 billion and $114.1 billion by 2025.
