Youtubers literally do this kinda stuff. You're not wrong about the bureaucracy involved in getting this done but the fact a few guys making videos for fun can make a living off doing this exact kind of thing as content suggests to me that well-resourced law enforcement should be able to do much more.

> Youtubers literally do this kinda stuff. YouTubers make entertaining videos, not criminal cases. It takes more than some YouTube-level detective work to put together a case with proper evidence gathering and to coordinate across countries.

  Perhaps, but just revealing the identities of the scammers to the police goes a long way. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/police-bust-five-fake-call-centres-nab-53-after-social-media-expos/amp_articleshow/91879297.cms https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/police-bust... Police are overworked and have low case closure rates. If their incentives align with the case+evidence, a “YouTuber” (or any other non-expert investor), the additional steps to build a legal case can move pretty quick.
