According to the US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the US government has added 49 cryptocurrency addresses to the sanctions list. These addresses are controlled by Iranian citizen Behrouz Parsarad, who is accused of being the administrator of the dark web market Nemesis. The sanctioned addresses include 44 bitcoin and 5 Monero addresses.
Nemesis had 30,000 active users before it was shut down and facilitated nearly $30 million in drug transactions over a three-year period of operation. According to OFAC, Parsarad made millions of dollars by charging users transaction fees and was suspected of laundering money for drug traffickers and cybercriminals. Nemesis traded a wide range of drugs, personally identifiable data, forged documents, ransomware, and cybercrime tools such as phishing attacks and DDoS tools.
