تم تصفية بنك الأمير في كمبوديا: تم القبض على المتهم الرئيسي في الاحتيال عبر الحدود وإعادته إلى البلاد

【Block Rhythm】The National Bank of Cambodia recently announced a major decision — Prince Bank, a subsidiary of the Prince Group, has been formally placed under liquidation status, with immediate prohibition from engaging in all banking operations. This means the bank can no longer accept new deposits, open new accounts, or be permitted to approve or issue any commercial and personal loans. The Cambodian National Bank has formally appointed Morison Kak MKA Audit Accounting Firm as the statutory liquidation enterprise, taking full responsibility for Prince Bank’s operational management and asset disposal.

This decision is not accidental. Cambodia’s Ministry of Interior confirmed that key figures behind Prince Bank — Chen Zhi and his associates Xu Jiliang and Shao Jihui — were arrested on January 6 and subsequently deported to China. The three are suspected of orchestrating large-scale transnational online fraud activities, with related criminal charges formally filed by U.S. courts. Notably, Chen Zhi’s previously acquired Cambodian citizenship was revoked by royal decree in December 2025.

This bank liquidation incident reminds market participants that compliance and background due diligence of cross-border financial institutions are critically important. Whether traditional banks or financial service providers involved in crypto assets, once implicated in fraud allegations, regulatory authorities typically act swiftly and decisively.
