CCTV Documentary Exposes Organ Trafficking in Myanmar Fraud Parks: Kidneys Priced at 250,000 RMB, Underperformers Forced to Sell Kidneys for Debt

"At that time, don't mention one kidney - I'd be willing to saw off a leg or an arm, just to be able to walk." Victim Tang Moufeng spoke calmly in front of the camera. These words represent a complete account from someone who actually returned alive from a Myanmar fraud park, describing how he had one kidney removed. From October 5 to 7, 2026, CCTV's comprehensive channel broadcast a three-episode documentary "The Record of Cracking Down on Myanmar Fraud," for the first time completely exposing the human organ trafficking scandal within Myanmar fraud parks.

Tang Moufeng smuggled himself to Wa State in northern Myanmar in 2021. What awaited him after arrival was the hellish reality he described: "They all call us 'piglets.' But honestly, I think 'piglet' is still giving us too much credit - they simply don't treat us as human beings, not even as things."

The fraud park's rules were straightforward: if you could scam money, you were a tool; if you couldn't, you were a burden. Tang Moufeng's performance never improved after entering the park. The park forced him to sign an IOU for 70,000 yuan - more of a personal indenture contract. After signing, he began being transferred and sold between various parks.

A clear price inflation logic existed in this process: each time a Chinese person was resold between fraud parks in northern Myanmar, the price increased. Initially worth about 20,000-30,000 yuan, later rising to 300,000-400,000 yuan. Those who couldn't type or use computers fared worst - upon reaching new parks, they still couldn't work and would continue being sold down the line, like unsalable inventory.

After being transferred to a new company, Tang Moufeng's performance remained poor. What awaited him was daily beating - continuous, with no break, until his wounds festered and he couldn't walk. The documentary depicted that scene: a person curled in the corner of the park, wounds already rotting, unable to stand or walk, but no one cared because caring cost money and he couldn't generate any value.

At this point, the fraud company offered him a "way out": selling his kidney to repay the debt. Kidneys were clearly priced on the Southeast Asian organ black market. A successfully matched kidney could fetch 500,000 yuan in Thailand, reselling to other Southeast Asian regions could reach 800,000 yuan. Averaging around 250,000 yuan per kidney throughout the entire industrial chain.

The company boss, known as A Gui, called Tang Moufeng to the office and said only one sentence: "Your matching succeeded." Then he was taken out, to a rural courtyard. No formal hospital, no sterilization equipment, no postoperative care - just a small yard and a table. The surgery was performed there. After Tang Moufeng's kidney was removed, how he left that courtyard wasn't detailed in the documentary. What is certain is that he returned alive - with one less organ.

A "piglet" who couldn't perform was simply taking up space. It was more profitable to disassemble the valuable parts still on his body. The fraud company calculated this precisely: when a person's scamming revenue fell below the market value of their organs, they were no longer labor in the park owner's eyes, but a pile of salable parts.

In December 2025, 494 gambling-fraud buildings in Myanmar's Myawaddy KK Park were demolished, the Asia Pacific New City gambling-fraud park was completely cleared, and over 7,600 Chinese nationals involved in telecommunications fraud were repatriated throughout the year. On January 10, 2026, the Myanmar government announced that all 635 illegal buildings in KK Park had been fully demolished.

However, less than a year later, satellite imagery revealed that a new location called Thitkate on the outskirts of Myawaddy, which was still bare land in June 2026, had rapidly grown dense building clusters by August. Fraud groups shifted their target from Chinese citizens to American victims, with approximately 83.7% of recruitment advertisements explicitly targeting American victims.

Understanding this resilience requires looking back at the Golden Triangle's earlier industrial context. The border region of the Golden Triangle has long maintained a stable illegal economic structure: drug trade generates massive cash flows, local armed forces require stable fiscal sources, and underground financial networks handle cross-border transfers. This infrastructure was inherited by the fraud industry - "one location, multiple crimes" became the common configuration for illegal parks along the Lancang-Mekong border.
