The Hunt for Malaysia's Elusive Wildlife Trafficker
For more than a decade, one anonymous wildlife dealer has been advertising rare and endangered animals to thousands of followers online. But despite posting a prolific number of videos every year, they have remained almost impossible to trace.
In 2022, with the help of Bellingcat contributors Darcy White and Chris Osieck, we managed to establish that they were operating out of Malaysia. We also had a name. But to be certain of their identity, we needed more proof.
Revisiting the case this year, we finally found more corroborating evidence– all thanks to a single complaint posted by an angry customer demanding his money back.
To limit further amplification of his business, Bellingcat has blurred all handles and abbreviated his username to “BK.”
