So - what's behind all this?

Start here.

One week before the coup, Tse Chi Lop (aka Asia's El Chapo') was arrested in Amsterdam. His syndicate, Sam Gor, has extensive drug production and trafficking operations in Myanmar.

Then, in the week after the coup, it was announced that another Sam Gor boss had been arrested in Thailand months earlier.

"The two arrests on different continents within three months stem from a decade-long investigation by the AFP..."

'Crown Resort-linked'?

Well, that's interesting.

This is the sort of thing that was happening before the coup.

Another pre-coup example. It seems they have slowed since the coup.

Convenient, no?
