Myanmar’s military government is considering a new bill on online fraud that would impose severe penalties for scam-related conduct, including offenses tied to digital currencies. According to reports, the proposed legislation—described as an Anti-Online Fraud Bill—sets out prison terms ranging from at least ten years to life imprisonment for people convicted of “digital currency fraud.” The draft bill also includes the possibility of the death penalty for cases involving “scam coercion,” a term used in the reporting to describe coercive scam practices. The proposals are framed as part of a broader effort to address online scams and fraud conducted through digital platforms. While details on how the bill defines specific offenses and evidentiary standards are not fully laid out in the available summaries, the outlets agree on the central penalty structure: long prison sentences for crypto fraud and potentially capital punishment for coercion related to scams. The reports indicate the bill is still at the proposal stage, meaning it has not yet become law and could change during legislative review.
