一名被困在老挝金三角诈骗园区的年轻印度工程师以“Red Bull”为化名，向记者泄露了工业化“杀猪盘”诈骗的内部运作，并在极端风险下策划逃生。该园区属于一个年敛财数百亿美元的全球诈骗体系，雇佣并奴役数十万名被贩运劳工。Red Bull每月名义工资为3500元人民币（约500美元），实行15小时夜班制度，与美国受害者时区同步，护照被没收，并被迫在一年合同与高额“赎身费”之间求生。诈骗团队月度目标约为100万美元，未达标者被罚款、剥夺休息甚至遭受暴力。
在被监控与威胁加剧的情况下，Red Bull秘密收集证据，包括诈骗脚本、流程图、内部聊天和白板记录。他在被捕并遭殴打、断食、索要2万元人民币（约2800美元）赎金后，仍设法利用安全松动，链接同事的WhatsApp账户，录制了长达三个月的内部聊天记录，总计近10GB数据。警方突袭迫使园区临时迁移，反而为其进一步取证创造条件。最终，在被视为“无价值负担”后，他被释放，仅穿拖鞋被送往边境。
逃回印度后，Red Bull恢复真名穆扎希尔，并交付了可整理为4200页的聊天证据，详细呈现诈骗园区的层级、话术、罚款制度与日常运作。他承认在胁迫下诈骗过两名受害者（金额分别为504美元与约1.1万美元），但未获得承诺的佣金。尽管警方行动多为表演性、园区已迁往柬埔寨，他仍选择公开身份，期望激励更多被奴役者发声，揭露这一以强迫劳动为核心的全球犯罪体系。
A young Indian engineer trapped in a scam compound in Laos’ Golden Triangle contacted a journalist under the alias “Red Bull,” leaking internal evidence while plotting his escape under extreme risk. The compound was part of an industrial-scale “pig butchering” fraud industry generating tens of billions of dollars annually and enslaving hundreds of thousands of trafficked workers. Red Bull earned a nominal 3,500 yuan per month (about $500), worked 15-hour night shifts synced to US victims, had his passport confiscated, and was bound by a one-year contract or a costly buyout. Teams faced monthly targets of around $1 million, with fines, deprivation, and violence for underperformance.
As surveillance intensified, Red Bull secretly gathered scripts, flowcharts, internal chats, and whiteboard records. After he was caught trying to escape, beaten, starved, and told to pay a 20,000 yuan (about $2,800) ransom, he still managed to exploit loosened controls. By linking colleagues’ WhatsApp accounts, he recorded nearly three months of internal messages totaling almost 10GB. A police raid forced a temporary relocation, inadvertently enabling further evidence collection. Eventually deemed a burden, he was released and driven to the border with only his passport and flip-flops.
Back in India, Red Bull revealed his real name, Mohammad Muzahir, and delivered materials later compiled into 4,200 pages of chats detailing hierarchy, scripts, fines, and daily life inside the compound. He admitted that under coercion he scammed two victims for $504 and about $11,000, without receiving promised commissions. Despite largely performative crackdowns and the operation’s relocation to Cambodia, he chose to go public, hoping his story would inspire others to resist and expose a global criminal system built on forced labor.
