What happened
OFAC designated 10 individuals and one entity for facilitating North Korean-run IT worker networks that used false identities to gain employment in the US and elsewhere. The targets are accused of cryptocurrency conversions, transfers and financial intermediation worth millions of dollars, and the SDN list added eight Ethereum and TRON addresses. SlowMist's MistTrack analysis links several of these addresses to Bybit and HTX deposit addresses.
