The United States Department of the Treasury proposed to cut the Huione Group based in Cambodia of the United States financial system, citing the cyber crime by helping the illicit market to the computer pirates of North Korea and other criminal groups.
The telegram -based operation has been a “critical node to wash the income of cyberdicts” and to help the so -called “pig carnage” scams that generally use fraudulent romantic ties to take advantage of people for cryptographic assets, according to the network of application of financial crimes of the Treasury (FINCEN) that proposed the separation of the financial system on Thursday.
Huione, which offers personal data and money laundering services, is said to handle up to $ 24 billion of such transactions, according to the analytical firm Elliptic. The Cambodian market also launched its own stablecoin earlier this year.
“Huione Group has been established as the market chosen by malicious cyber actors such as RPDC and criminal unions, which have stolen billions of dollars from common Americans,” Treasure Secretary Scott Besunt said in a statement. Then Finnen sought to take advantage of his power of nuclear option, using section 311 of the United States Patriot Law, to separate Huiones from the financial system.
As recently as last year, it was said that Huione Pay, based in Phnom Penh, received cryptography for a total of more than $ 150,000 of a wallet associated with the computer pirates of North Korea Lázaro, the group accused of stealing billions of dollars in cryptographic in recent years in recent years that is probably used to finance national projects.
