On 16 September, OFAC advised that 2 Russian individuals – Dmitrii KARASAVIDI and Danil POTEKHIN (aka “cronuswar”; and Kireev Valerievich SERGEY) – and a large number of digital currency addresses had been added to its sanctions lists. These designations are said to be part of a coordinated action with the DoJ and the Department of Homeland Security, re the individuals’ involvement in a sophisticated phishing campaign in 2017 and 2018 that targeted customers of 2 US-based and 1 foreign-based virtual asset service providers.
