These aren't some rinky dink operations, these are huge shell companies housed in office buildings with cubicles employing hundreds of scammers. It's part of an organized crime syndicate, and somewhere along the line there's some near-billionaire and a number of politicians behind the entire scheme. That's what they mean by the nebulous statement of it being "transnational."
