Former American businessman detained in Myanmar after alleged financial misconduct
Adam Castillo, founder of AGS Myanmar, was detained Thursday at Yangon International Airport. The U.S. State Department is aware of a reported detention but hasn't commented further.
This proves that when youre a foreigner with a business in Myanmar, youre basically a target for local politicians who think they can just steal your company and then arrest you for it. The real question is: how many of these so-called suspicious transactions are just corrupt officials trying to take advantage of the system? Its classic Myanmar - theyve got the whole country in a chokehold and think they can get away with it.
