SHAH ALAM: What started as a police raid on an illegal online gambling syndicate last month eventually led police to uncover a larger, more sinister network run by a “Datuk”.

The 40-year-old suspect who was arrested last week has been linked to illegal money lending activities as well as electricity theft for a bitcoin mining operation.
