Never mind all the petty bollox; what's the name of this coin with a 320% bounce he is involved in?

UPDATE

US Sanctions Ex-Macau Triad Boss With Business in Cambodia

UPDATED 4:40 p.m. — The U.S. has announced sanctions against a former Macau crime boss who two years ago launched an association headquarters in Cambodia linked to a cryptocurrency and Belt and Road Initiative-related security business at a ceremony attended by Deputy Prime Minister Men Sam An and military police chief Sao Sokha.

Wan Kuok Koi, also known as “Broken Tooth,” spent nearly 14 years in jail for criminal association, loan-sharking and illegal gambling before being released in 2012.

He was known as the boss of the 14K triad in Macau, a major crime organization linked to drug trafficking and violent turf wars.

In 2018, he launched the World Hongmen History and Culture Association in Cambodia, with media reports at the time saying Wan was looking to issue $1 billion in cryptocurrency and set up a security company for Belt and Road-related projects in the country.

A separate article by East Week magazine dated later that year shows Wan sitting at a desk with the namecard of general Hing Bun Hieng, the head of Prime Minister HE’s elite bodyguard unit. Bun Hieng was earlier sanctioned by the U.S. under the Global Magnitsky Act, with the U.S. Treasury Department noting that the bodyguard unit has been implicated in “multiple attacks on unarmed Cambodians over the span of many years.”

In a new set of sanctions, the Treasury named Wan as a perpetrator of “corruption and serious human rights abuse,” blocking his assets in the U.S. and prohibiting transactions with him.

The announcement specifically lists the Cambodian headquarters of the World Hongmen History and Culture Association in explaining the sanctions, claiming that the association “has managed to co-opt elite figures in Malaysia and Cambodia.”

“The World Hongmen History and Culture Association is spreading across Southeast Asia, establishing a powerful business network involved in the development and launching of crypto currencies, real estate, and most recently a security company specialized in protecting BRI investments,” it says.
