Just floor after floor of people who were forced to send scam messages around the clock. And if they didn't meet quotas, they'd be beaten or tortured, like shocked with electric batons or even killed.

Chinatown is outside the city center. It's like maybe a 15-minute drive from town. And there's a big avenue that runs through the middle of it. And on the right is this like blue glass X-shaped unfinished casino. And on the left is two different groups of office towers. The first group, maybe a dozen buildings, could have held thousands of people.

This whole area is weird because it's clearly built to be like a fancy casino. But all of the office towers that held the trafficked workers were super run down and dirty and totally out of place. But at the center of it, there's this KB Hotel, which has this gold facade. It's like a pretty fancy looking hotel. Weirdly, though, like it actually appeared to be open to the public.
