Each point is one unit in the published estimate of people trafficked or coerced into scam compounds. They are not identified persons. Together, they show the scale.

THE DRAIN
An industrial machine that does not stop.
Each filament is a modeled quantum of illicit profit derived from the annual estimate. This is arithmetic, not an observed transfer feed.

THE TCO CONSTELLATION
The epidemic has machinery.
Documented groups, compounds, financial networks, infrastructure and enforcement actions. Every connection carries its own claim class. Association is not designation.

Methodology
This is a scale model, not a transaction monitor. Animated people, contacts and money flows are generated from published aggregate estimates. They do not represent identified victims, observed communications, or verified individual transfers.
BASELINE
300,000+ people trafficked or coerced into scam compounds across Southeast Asia.
Hundreds of industrial-scale scam centres generating just under $40 billion in estimated annual profits.
Victims and trafficked workers have been identified across at least 80 countries and territories.
MODEL
The money counter distributes a $40 billion annual estimate uniformly across time: approximately $109.6 million per day, $4.57 million per hour, or $1,268 per second. Animated arcs are seeded and weighted across documented compound regions and major victim markets. Visual cadence is illustrative and deterministic. No person or transaction is inferred from a single animation.
Every public number must remain tied to a dated source. Model inputs should be reviewed quarterly or when a major UN or law-enforcement estimate changes.
