 A room in a closed-down hotel. On the desks, telephones and handwritten manuals lay in disarray. Men with blond or shaved heads cower in the corner of the room. &#8230;&#8230;
 The image below is a scene from a video taken on November 13, &#8217;19, when 36 members of a special fraud group were busted in Manila, Philippines. The suspect who is believed to have masterminded this fraud is Yuuki Watanabe (38), the &#8220;mastermind&#8221; behind a string of robberies across the country since October 2010.

 At the time of the &#8217;19 incident, there were four special fraud offices in Manila run by Watanabe, and he was caught in two of them. Thirty-six people were arrested, but in all, about 80 people were involved, and the amount of damage is said to be 3.5 billion yen. Watanabe was the big boss, and under him were the executives and the people who ran the site, and further down were the executioners. Because the organization was so large, the chain of command could not be revealed, and Watanabe escaped arrest at that time.
 Watanabe was born in Betsukai, Hokkaido. He worked part-time as a tout and managed a restaurant in Sapporo Susukino, but was arrested in &#8217;12 for theft. After that, he moved his base to the Philippines and developed a large-scale special fraud from overseas, but around March of &#8217;21, he was detained at the Bicutan Detention Center in Manila. However, even from within the camp, he continued to conduct robberies and thefts, using code names such as &#8220;Ralphie.
 Thirty-six people were arrested in the aforementioned scam, and more than 30 were arrested in a series of robberies. How did Watanabe gather his crew? The aforementioned official reveals his modus operandi.

 The source reveals, &#8220;At first, many of the members of the special fraud group were junior associates from Watanabe&#8217;s hometown in Hokkaido. However, perhaps not wanting to be traced, they began recruiting on Twitter under the name &#8220;resort job&#8221; and inviting those without money to work in the Philippines. Other yakuza from Kyushu who heard rumors that they could make money would also come to the Philippines, and the number of people who came to &#8230;&#8230; increased rapidly. I think that even after I became involved in robberies, I continued to use social networking sites to gather my crew.
 Watanabe directed his crimes via apps such as &#8220;Telegram,&#8221; where messages sent are immediately erased. Naturally, they never used their real names, and all exchanged code names. When the money he earned in Japan accumulated to the tune of 40-50 million yen, he had a &#8220;courier&#8221; transport it to the Philippines in cash. Before entering the internment camp, Watanabe was earning 200 million yen a month and spending it lavishly at cabarets and casinos with the executives.
 Every day, he would go to a casino called &#8220;City of Dreams&#8221; with a bodyguard,&#8221; Watanabe said. The restaurant there was originally non-smoking, but when Watanabe came, it was switched to smoking. He spent so much money that he received such VIP treatment.
 Watanabe seemed to be an extremely clever man. He used all possible means to &#8220;control&#8221; his subordinates, whom he did not know, so that they would not disobey him. A man who worked for Watanabe said, &#8220;Watanabe&#8217;s group was very well compensated and had a good environment.
 He said, &#8220;The remuneration and environment in Watanabe&#8217;s group were good. I was surprised to find Japanese food in the cafeteria of the base building. The boss (Watanabe) prepared Japanese food for everyone: sashimi, fried fish, miso soup, natto (fermented soybeans), and everything else was delicious. Everyone loved it.&#8221;
 While providing a good environment, the sanctions against traitors, such as those who absconded with money or reported to the police, were severe.
 Torture was a daily occurrence. As far as I know, one person was killed. They made us masturbate in the nude, or beat us with a toothbrush that they shoved up our butts while laughing at us. A guy who disobeyed his boss and tried to start his own business was tied up and stabbed repeatedly in the back with a knife and torn to shreds. They would video it and make an example of him. The boss never took direct action, but everyone was so desperate to be liked by him that they were happy to do it when he instructed them to.
 This former subordinate immediately realized that the robbery was also the work of Watanabe and his group.
 He said, &#8220;I would call the parents&#8217; workplaces to make sure they could never escape. They would monitor them 24/7 via videophone. If they find something they don&#8217;t like, they inform the police and have them arrested. This is completely Watanabe&#8217;s way. That&#8217;s how that man makes people do his bidding.&#8221;
 Watanabe never got drunk, never touched drugs, and always remained calm. The day is near when he will be brought to justice.
