Odaily News According to an announcement from the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the U.S. government has added 49 cryptocurrency addresses to the sanctions list, which 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 during its three years of operation. According to OFAC, Parsarad made millions of dollars in profits by charging users transaction fees and was suspected of laundering money for drug traffickers and cybercriminals. Nemesis trades a wide range of items, including drugs, personal identity data, forged documents, ransomware, and cybercrime tools (such as phishing attacks and DDoS tools).
