Abstract generation in progress
According to Chainalysis, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has updated the sanctions list for the extremist group “Islamic State Khorasan Province” (ISIS-K), adding 134 cryptocurrency wallet addresses as identifying information, including 131 Tron addresses and 3 Monero addresses. Chainalysis said that since 2023, these Tron addresses have cumulatively received over $1.4 million and transferred out more than $880,000, and they have extensive financial dealings with mainstream service platforms; some addresses also transferred funds to Syrian cryptocurrency exchangers. Tether has frozen assets in all 131 Tron addresses. Meanwhile, OFAC also sanctioned two Brazilian citizens and four companies associated with the Brazilian criminal organization Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC), stating that the group used cryptocurrency to transfer more than $30 million in illegal U.S. proceeds back to Brazil.

They’ve been monitoring since 2023, but it’s only just now that they froze it—those funds must have been fully laundered during those two years in between, right?

$1.4 million is not a huge amount for ISIS-K, but the full transparency on-chain makes it impossible to hide.

Those 3 Monero addresses are probably even harder to trace; the regulatory blind spot for privacy coins is still large.

Tether responded fast enough, all 131 addresses were frozen.

The name of that criminal organization in Brazil didn’t get fully typed out, and CoinWorld’s truncation is a bit frustrating.
