The U.S. Treasury Department on Tuesday announced sanctions against 10 individuals and one entity, including two Russian cryptocurrency intermediaries, accusing them of laundering money through a North Korean fake IT worker scheme to fund North Korea's weapons programs. One Russian national processed nearly $2 million in cryptocurrency conversions and at least $1.25 million in other currency transfers since January 2025; another Russian national converted $3.5 million worth of cryptocurrency for a North Korean IT company. Additionally, one North Korean national has transferred nearly $500,000 in cryptocurrency for his team since 2024, and a North Korean-controlled entity has generated over $750,000 in revenue since 2025. The Treasury Department has published Ethereum and Tron wallet addresses associated with the sanctioned individuals to alert financial institutions.
