Delhi Crime: Season 3 | Official Trailer | Shefali Shah, Huma Qureshi, Rasika Dugal | Netflix
Netflix India
The third season of Delhi Crime moves away from its primary Delhi focus, following a sprawling, interstate investigation into a brutal human trafficking network that targets vulnerable young girls across India.
Badi Didi is a 30-ish woman who runs this smuggling operation. She gathers up young women (15 to 18 years old) and ships them to John Ji, who I thought was in Thailand but I may have got that wrong. He may just be somewhere around Bombay. The story Badi Didi is telling the girls is that they are going to get good jobs, like maid or waiter, but the implication is they are being sold into sexual slavery. I mean every way point on their journey to Badi Didi is a brothel. On the other hand all the girls speak English and apparently have passports. I'm pretty sure you don't need to speak English in order to have sex, so maybe they aren't being sold into sexual slavery, but maybe they are being sold into call center slavery.
Finished the series last night and this morning I see this on the Daily Wire:

The FBI recently took out a massive internet scam network, arresting over 300 people, freeing over 2,000 people from human trafficking, and seizing over $8 billion in cryptocurrency.The FBI said last week that it primarily focused on taking down what it calls “scam compounds” in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The scam compounds are typically guarded and filled with trafficked workers who are forced to conduct romance scams and fake investment schemes that target many Americans. Over 2,000 people were freed from the compounds.The operation focused on Prince Holding Group, a company in Cambodia. Authorities also took out a criminal compound in Dubai, Myanmar, and Thailand. Altogether, the FBI seized over 127,000 bitcoin from the nine scam compounds, which is over $8 billion, making it the largest crypto seizure in human history.

At one point Badi Didi drugs 20 girls and loads them into a 20 foot shipping container. The plan is for them to only be in there for 10 hours. Just looking at the map this looks like a bad deal. It takes a full 24 hours to drive to Bombay. Google says one person could survive in container for a day or two. This website has a full analysis of container survivability, and they claim three days for one person. Having a bunch of people in there is going to reduce that number considerably.
