The Chinese government has executed four more Yahoo Boys of a Myanmar scam mafia gang.

The four executed, according to the BBC, belong to the Bai family mafia.

This followed the execution of 11 members of the Myanmar scam mafia gang found guilty of killing and running a criminal network.

The 11 were executed last week, on Thursday, after being found guilty of killing 14 people while coordinating a fraud syndicate worth over  $1bn between 2015 and 2023.

Over 20 others from the same mafia family already bagged jail sentences ranging from five years to life in September.
