Apparently the #Houthis have been using #Tether's USDT stablecoin to do [whatever], because #OFAC just placed sanctions on a bunch of USDT wallets on #JustinSun's #Tron blockchain that they claim are connected to the Houthis.

Reminder that Justin Sun is Donald Trump's business partner in #WorldLibertyFinancial and #HowardLutnick manages Tether's money, so now you have a situation where Trump & co. are profiting from the same people they are bombing.

The following changes have been made to OFAC's SDN List: ANSARALLAH (a.k.a. ANSAR ALLAH; a.k.a. ANSARULLAH; a.k.a. "HOUTHI GROUP"; a.k.a. "PARTISANS OF GOD"; a.k.a.

@lucasmz @Avitus @david_chisnall the benefit of #XMPP+#OMEMO is that there are several providers, including free options...

All #PII incl. #PhoneNumbers can and will be abused by existing governments and if users don't pay, then they are the product and their data is the one to be sold.

After all, you have the same cost problem with phone numbers. Even if one doesn't pay per line/number and never pay for calls and texts, they still have to top it up to extent validity.

  • And again: It's way easier for a government to demand an ID for a #SIM that works in networks around their country (i.e. #Turkey demands registration on a per-#IMEI - basis *with #ID) than to tunnel XMPP+OMEMO through @torproject over #EDGEland-speed #2G networks.

Plus you relying an unfixably insecure #Telephony makes a system inherently unsafer than it needs to be...

  • This is how people get caught!

Also #Signal is able and willing to use said PII to restrict and ban users and if I were some dissident in Cuba or North Korea or even just Eritrea or Yemen I'd not rely on non-enforcement of #OFAC / #USML / #ITAR since Signal can obviously distinguish & identify accounts by virgue if their #PhoneNumber!

Fantastic work from #OFAC with the latest Magnitsky sanction released against one of the chief cronies of Órban's government.

"Speaking at a news conference in Budapest on Tuesday, U.S. Ambassador to Hungary David Pressman said Rogán was “a primary architect, implementer and beneficiary” of systemic corruption in Hungary which he described as a “kleptocratic ecosystem.”apnews.com/article/viktor-orba

Brad Smith and others at Treasury are trying to do the most good in the final weeks of the Biden administration before our American #kleptocrats seize control 🤢

U.S. Department of the TreasuryTreasury Exposes Money Laundering Network Using Digital Assets to Evade SanctionsOFAC and foreign partners disrupt the TGR Group, an international illicit finance network that enables Russian elites to circumvent U.S. and international sanctions WASHINGTON — Today, the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is sanctioning five individuals and four entities that are associated with or leverage the TGR Group, a sprawling international network of businesses and employees that have facilitated significant sanctions circumvention on behalf of Russian elites. This action also identifies a Wyoming-based entity that is owned 50 percent or more by a sanctioned individual. Today’s action continues the G7 commitment to hold accountable parties that evade or offset the impact of international sanctions, including by using digital assets, and to impose costs on illicit actors that use digital assets to enhance and transfer their wealth. These designations are the result of a collaborative effort with the United Kingdom’s (UK) National Crime Agency, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.“Through the TGR Group, Russian elites sought to exploit digital assets—in particular U.S. dollar-backed stablecoins—to evade U.S. and international sanctions, further enriching themselves and the Kremlin,” said Acting Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Bradley T. Smith, “The United States, alongside our allies and partners, remains committed to disrupting any effort by Russia to use digital assets or other illicit financial schemes to accrue, store, and transfer their ill-gotten gains."the tgr group: enabler of sanctions evasion for Russian ELITESWith touchpoints around the world, the TGR Group is an extensive sanctions evasion and money laundering network that works to obfuscate the illicit activities of its clients, including through the use digital assets, such as stablecoins like Tether (USDT). Controlled by Ukrainian national George Rossi, the networkprovides a range of services to place, layer, and integrate illicit financial schemes into the global financial system. These include: the laundering of funds associated with sanctioned entities; providing an unregistered service to exchange cash and cryptocurrency; the receipt of cash and making the value available to clients in the form of cryptocurrency; providing a pre-paid credit card service; and, obfuscating the source of funds to allow high-net worth Russian nationals to purchase property in the United Kingdom.To support their illicit activities, the TGR Group has leveraged other illicit actors, such as the Smart Group, led by Russian money launderer Ekaterina Zhdanova (Zhdanova). On November 3, 2023, OFAC designated Zhdanova, a Russian national, pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 14024, for operating or having operated in the financial services sector of the Russian Federation economy by laundering and moving funds using digital assets on behalf of Russian elites. key members of AN international money laundering networkGeorge Rossi (Rossi), a Ukrainian national who was born in Russia, is believed to be in overall control of the TGR Group. Rossi is the founder of TGR Partners and is the non-executive director at TGR Corporate Concierge LTD, both entities that are also being designated pursuant to E.O. 14024. Rossi also controls a TGR Group-related company that leveraged OFAC-sanctioned Russian cryptocurrency exchange, Garantex OU, to process USDT transactions after its date of designation. Elena Chirkinyan (Chirkinyan), a Russian national, is a direct subordinate to Rossi and is considered a decision maker within the TGR Group. Chirkinyan is also a partner at TGR Partners and the Chief Executive Officer of TGR Corporate Concierge LTD. Additionally, Chirkinyan is the manager of TGR DWC-LLC, an entity designated pursuant to E.O. 14024. In 2023, Chirkinyan was involved in obfuscating the transfer of funds out of Russia, most likely to support the activities of a UK-sanctioned Russian-language media organization in the United Kingdom. These funds originated from RT (formerly known as Russia Today). On September 13, 2024, the Department of State designated Autonomous Non Profit Organization TV-Novosti, a federally funded Russian organization that controls the RT media channel. Separately, Chirkinyan coordinated with Zhdanova (via her moniker @monalisa7) to obfuscate the source of Russian client funds to purchase real estate property in the United Kingdom. Chirkinyan and other TGR Group members also arranged cash handovers in which USDT was sent to a cryptocurrency address controlled by Zhdanova, and in return cash was received by the TGR Group.Andrejs Bradens (Bradens), a Latvian national, is associated with multiple TGR Group companies, including Pullman Global Solutions LLC (Pullman Global) and TGR Corporate Concierge LTD. Pullman Global is a Wyoming-based entity that is owned by Bradens.TGR Partners is a Moscow, Russia-based entity that provides financial services such as asset management, cryptocurrency trading, foreign exchange market payments, and concierge services. TGR Partners maintains locations in Russia, the UK, and other parts of Europe and Asia. Rossi is the founder of TGR Partners and Chirkinyan is a partner at TGR Partners. TGR Corporate Concierge LTD is a UK-based entity that is owned and directed by Bradens.  Chirkinyan is the Chief Executive Officer of TGR Corporate Concierge LTD. TGR DWC-LLC is a UAE-based entity that is managed by Chirkinyan. TGR DWC-LLC provided concierge services that may enable clients to obfuscate their sources of wealth and purchase high-value property. Siam Expert Trading Company Limited (Siam Expert) is a Thailand-based entity. Siam Expert has facilitated the export of electronic components to Russia. Siam Expert is also associated with Bradens.Pullman Global Solutions LLC (Pullman Global) is a Wyoming-based entity that is owned by Bradens. George Rossi, Elena Chirkinyan, Andrejs Bradens, and TGR Partners are being designated pursuant to E.O. 14024 for operating or having operated in the financial services sector of the Russian Federation economy.TGR Corporate Concierge LTD is being designated pursuant to E.O. 14024 for being owned or controlled by, or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, Bradens, an individual whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to E.O. 14024. TGR DWC-LLC is being designated pursuant to E.O. 14024 for being owned or controlled by, or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, Elena Chirkinyan, an individual whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to E.O. 14024. Siam Expert is being designated pursuant to E.O. 14024 for operating or having operated in the technology sector of the Russian Federation economy. Pullman Global is being identified for being owned in the aggregate, directly or indirectly, 50 percent or more by Andrejs Bradens, whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to E.O. 14024. affiliates of Sanctioned ekaterina zhadanovaKhadzi-Murat Dalgatovich Magomedov (Magomedov), a Russian national, and Zhdanova regularly coordinated to facilitate bulk cash and cryptocurrency money laundering transactions internationally. Magomedov and Zhdanova also coordinated a bulk cash hand-over in the United Kingdom. On multiple occasions, Magomedov brokered money laundering transactions for which Zhdanova fulfilled and received a commission fee. To facilitate their activities, the pair arranged for international bulk cash deliveries and the conversion of bulk currency into cryptocurrency for clients. Zhdanova and Magomedov likely used TGR Corporate Concierge LTD to facilitate invoice payments, monetary transfers and/or cash for USDT transactions. Certain transactions were also likely facilitated by TGR Partners, located in the United Kingdom.Nikita Vladimirovich Krasnov, a Russian national, worked closely with Zhdanova as a key money laundering partner. As part of their scheme, Krasnov would arrange for intermediaries to deliver and convert bulk cash into cryptocurrency which would be deposited into cryptocurrency wallets in Zhdanova’s name. Among other laundering methods, Krasnov and Zhdanova used a luxury watch company to facilitate trade-based money laundering. Krasnov is associated with the alias “acescom.”Khadzi-Murat Dalgatovich Magomedov and Nikita Vladimirovich Krasnov are being designated pursuant to E.O. 14024 for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of, Ekaterina Zhdanova, an individual whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to E.O. 14024.SANCTIONS IMPLICATIONSAs a result of today’s action, all property and interests in property of the blocked persons described above that are in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons are blocked and must be reported to OFAC. In addition, any entities that are owned, directly or indirectly, individually or in the aggregate, 50 percent or more by one or more blocked persons are also blocked. Unless authorized by a general or specific license issued by OFAC, or exempt, OFAC’s regulations generally prohibit all transactions by U.S. persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of designated or otherwise blocked persons. U.S. persons must comply with OFAC regulations, including all U.S. citizens and permanent resident aliens regardless of where they are located, all persons within the United States, and all U.S.- incorporated entities and their foreign branches. Non-U.S. persons are also subject to certain OFAC prohibitions. For example, non-U.S. persons are prohibited from causing or conspiring to cause U.S. persons to wittingly or unwittingly violate U.S. sanctions, as well as engaging in conduct that evades U.S. sanctions.U.S. persons may face civil or criminal penalties for violations of E.O. 14024. OFAC’s Economic Sanctions Enforcement Guidelines provide more information regarding OFAC’s enforcement of U.S. sanctions, including the factors that OFAC generally considers when determining an appropriate response to an apparent violation.In addition, financial institutions and other persons that engage in certain transactions or activities with the sanctioned entities and individuals may expose themselves to sanctions or be subject to an enforcement action. The prohibitions include the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any designated person, or the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person. The power and integrity of OFAC sanctions derive not only from OFAC’s ability to designate and add persons to the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) List, but also from its willingness to remove persons from the SDN List consistent with the law. The ultimate goal of sanctions is not to punish, but to bring about a positive change in behavior.

@meduza_en i suspect that other than the obvious things (oil) some of what #NorthKorea gets in exchange for helping #Putin is access to money laundering services, either in the form of sanctioned #cryptocurrency exchanges like #Garantex or more traditional channels.

the #DPRK has a hell of a lot of stolen crypto it needs to launder. it also needs to hide much of its other international economic activity from #OFAC and the global sanctions regime.

@laprice Interesting development today, regarding #OFAC. It seems they are sanctioning #Amana for illegal development in the #WestBank.

"Amana is a key part of the Israeli extremist settlement movement and maintains ties to various persons previously sanctioned by the U.S. government and its partners for perpetrating violence in the West Bank. For example, Amana provided a loan to Israeli settler Isaschar Manne, and served as a partner in the formation of #MeitarimFarm. The U.S. Department of State sanctioned Isaschar Manne and Meitarim Farm on July 11, 2024 pursuant to E.O. 14115. The settlers and farms that Amana supports play a key role in developing settlements in the West Bank, from which in turn settlers commit violence. More broadly, Amana strategically uses farming outposts, which it supports through financing, loans, and building infrastructure, to expand settlements and seize land.

"OFAC today is also sanctioning Amana’s subsidiary, #BinyaneiBarAmana Ltd (#BBA). BBA is a construction and development company that builds and sells homes in settlements and outposts in the West Bank.

"OFAC is sanctioning Amana pursuant to E.O. 14115 for being a foreign person that is responsible for or complicit in, or has directly or indirectly engaged or attempted to engage in, planning, ordering, otherwise directing, or participating in seizure or dispossession of property by private actors, affecting the West Bank. OFAC is sanctioning BBA pursuant to E.O. 14115 for being a foreign person that is owned or controlled by, or has acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, Amana."

[cont'd] #ICC intimidation and extortion / Israeli "The Marker" attempted to publish a similar investigation, but was blocked by Israeli security authorities

[...] In May 2022, "The Marker" attempted to publish a similar investigation, but it was blocked by Israeli security authorities. The authorities used emergency powers to prevent the publication, claiming that it would harm national security.

A reminder, the Israeli government has denied the allegations, calling them "baseless and false." However, Israeli sources have confirmed the main findings of the investigation, which raises serious questions about the country's conduct and its attempts to silence critics.

Netanyhu and his rich friends

[...] At the center of the investigation, which has been ongoing for several months, was the question of what the former head of the Mossad did during three visits to Congo in 2019, accompanied by billionaire Dan Gertler, who also participated in the questionable operation, according to sources who spoke to TheMarker. Gertler even put his private plane at Cohen's disposal for his trips to the African country. The answer, from several sources, was this: Gertler and Cohen traveled to meet Kabila as part of an operation aimed at recruiting or pressuring the prosecutor in Nusodua due to the court proceedings related to Israel."

In 2017, the US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (#OFAC) imposed sanctions on Gertler and several of his companies, citing "hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of opaque and corrupt mining and oil deals" in the #DRC. The sanctions froze Gertler's assets in the US and prohibited American citizens from doing business with him.

The author of the piece, Goor Megido, says that the timing of the publication could not be worse for Israel, coming as it does at a time of heightened international tension and just one week after the ICC's chief prosecutor requested an arrest warrant against Netanyahu and Gallant. It is not unlikely that the prosecutor will add charges of obstruction of justice to the list of allegations against Israel.

Note: Gertler is currently suing The Marker for libel
