Meta, Scam Ads, and the First Scam-Driven Border Conflict: Jake Sims Breaks It Down (Ep 31)

In this explosive episode of Stolen, Erin West sits down with Jake Sims—Harvard fellow and global expert on transnational organized crime—to unpack two massive developments: the damning Reuters leak about Meta’s scam ad revenue, and the escalating military clash on the Thai-Cambodian border tied directly to scam compounds. Jake reveals what happened inside his high-pressure GASA “fireside chat” with Meta, why trust in big platforms is collapsing, and how scam centers are shaping geopolitics in real time. This is the episode you listen to if you want the truth behind the headlines.
