You bought it once at X price, it's realized when you sell it, it's unrealized while "open"

If they held it for 100 years and finally sold it, then profit/loss is realized now

i've been using chat gpt for 'chatting/questions' kind of things + snippets of code

it's plenty good on free tier

as soon as they start adding restrictions / raising prices / etc won't take long to look for alternatives

> 450 million and counting people would still prefer to live and work in the EU than anywhere else

majority of population of any given country doesn't emigrate ever, even inside EU where it would be extremely easy

Cambodia is also big player in money laundering

(not only for these cambodia originated crimes)

Also keep in mind all the bribes, all the money laundering mentioned in the article by the 100s of affiliated subsidiares of the criminal group all in Cambodia

the big casinos which directly and indirectly support additional laundering

Every business has revenue / costs

The indictment mentions they were doing 30M/day ~ 10B / year, could be an old message when they were smaller

Guessing that's revenue

They're just one of many organizations in the "industry"

It's a small / under developed country

the economy is not that big to start with :)

GDP $49.8 Billion (nominal; 2025)

Some examples

Direct link to the indictment https://www.justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/chairman-prince-group-i...

Cambodia's specifically 30-50% of the economy can be directly attributed to scamming plus casinos

This one of the other organizations / major bank used for money laundering directly linked to Hun Sen

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huione_Group

> The company is linked to Cambodia's ruling Hun family, which includes the current prime minister, Hun Manet.[4] His cousin Hun To is a major shareholder and director of Huione Pay

> dissuade the public from digital currency.

Did you read the article?

The reason to move to ECB would be for ECB garanteed deposits, which many could find safer than their local bank

> Flight to safety would see 13 banks out of cash

> By July, 3 million accounts have been closed

this wasn't a swift action overnight

they could be blocking this many accounts on a yearly basis just from scam reports at the police station

or more which seems to be the case recently, but not overnight

this is bad article
