crypto scam, run yahoo ads, rope in whoever. vs go 1 on 1 sweetheart scam (often using slave labor) to onboard.
analogous to targetted versus untargetted attacks for hacking.
basically people are adapting to the untargetted, so targetted is next evolution.
when sweetheart scams stop being economical, this is when you might start seeing kidnap gangs being run in organized mafia way.
hope that doesn't happen, but idk. seems at least plausible if not likely.
we probably have a few more years though.
when everyone is concealed carry, the final evolution would be something like taking kindergartens hostage with explosives
definitely hope we don't get there as a society.
law enforcement has to get a clue of what's coming.
we should treat these slave pig butchering scams as national security threats, nip them in the bud before they evolve into something even worse.

In the US law enforcement is stuck at the moment because of how Myanmar and Laos are governmentally. Myanmar is having a full-blown civil war with the military completely incapable of leading and Laos is so much in China's circle and these criminal orgs are often run by Chinese that since they arent doing it in China it will take some dramatic thing to get China to step in and address the situation they are enabling.
