What was said
""It's slaves. And we're not talking about just a few hundred people. It's hundreds of thousands of people. Hundreds of thousands of people coming from all over the world who are lured into what they think are going to be online jobs and and once they get there they take away their passports and they force them to scam Americans essentially.""
Mariana van Zeller describes large scam compounds in parts of South-east Asia as effectively using forced labour, saying people from multiple countries are lured by promised online jobs, then have passports taken and are made to run scams targeting Americans. She characterises the workers as “slaves” and suggests the scale involves “hundreds of thousands” of people.
