G?a?r?a?n?t?e?x?. On March 7, the U.S. Department of Justice, in coordination with Germany and Finland, dismantled Garantex, a Russian crypto exchange deeply embedded in the cybercrime ecosystem. Processing over $96 billion in transactions since 2019 and sanctioned by OFAC in 2022, Garantex was a key enabler of illicit finance, laundering crypto for ransomware groups, darknet markets, sanctioned entities, and cybercrime syndicates like Lazarus Group and Conti. Authorities seized its infrastructure, froze $26 million in illicit funds, and charged its administrators, marking a major victory against the exploitation of blockchain for illicit ends. Bad actors are historically swift to adapt. Chainalysis is actively monitoring where Garantex’s illicit network may migrate and any successor entities and high-risk exchanges attempting to fill the gap. Authorities seized its infrastructure, froze $26M, and charged its admins in a major win against cybercrime.

???? ??Today, the United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated the Iran-based administrator of Nemesis online darknet marketplace (DNM) Behrouz Parsarad and his 49 cryptocurrency addresses for facilitating the sale of fentanyl and other drugs around the world, including the United States. ??Parsarad received more than $850,000, and used addresses nested at centralized exchanges to cash out some of his proceeds. ?? He also had indirect exposure to mixing services, suggesting that he sought to obfuscate his involvement in drug trafficking, which is often punishable by death in Iran. ??Today’s designation is OFAC’s first as a member of the Federal Bureau of Investigation-led interagency Joint Criminal Opioid and Darknet Enforcement Team. Today’s designation of an Iran-based DNM administrator shows the commitment of OFAC and its partners to disrupting the fentanyl trade not just in China and Latin America, but worldwide. It also demonstrates the broadening scope of illicit on-chain activity emanating from Iran beyond traditional domains. Read our blog to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eQM7auWY
